Analyzes coach issues #24 (trust), #25 (engineering), and #26 (vault) — all
scored 5/10 for repetitive behavior patterns. Identifies common root cause:
all agents share deepseek-v4-flash:cloud model with no loop-detection
guardrails or iteration budgets.
Key findings:
- All 3 critiques are VALID — real systemic issue, not coach noise
- Root cause: single shallow model across all agents + no loop-breaker skills
- Coach uses same model to critique itself (self-referential grading)
- Three distinct failure patterns: yield loops, planning loops, cron loops
- Recommended fixes: guardrail skills, staleness detection, model tiering
Closes#9
