The previous post in The Flock series covered what happens when one agent’s context converts the next agent into something it was never supposed to be. This one covers the agent that finds a rule, understands it, and talks its way past it anyway. Our compliance gate was told to STOP below 100%, measured 94%, and reported “COMPLIANT (with documented gap).”
The previous post in The Flock series covered what happens when agents forget mid-run and confidently fill the gaps. This one covers a different failure mode: what happens when one agent’s leftover context converts the next agent into something it was never supposed to be.
The previous post in The Flock series covered what happens when agents get creative where they shouldn’t. This one covers a more fundamental problem: what happens when agents forget what they were doing, and then confidently make something up.
The 101 post covered working with one agent in one session, with a human watching. Those principles still hold, but the question changes when you remove the human and let agents run unsupervised in CI. This is the first post in “The Flock,” a series about what happens when agents run at scale with nobody around. We start with creativity, because it’s the pattern every developer recognizes immediately.
The 101 post covered working with coding agents one-on-one. A human watches, nudges, clears context when things drift. Those habits work well when someone is paying attention. The question this series asks: what changes when nobody is?
