Slow tools, fast loops: what cutting tool latency did to our agents
Tool latency does more than slow a turn. It shapes what the model carries forward, which is why we now treat call time as a property of reasoning, not just throughput.
What we write before draft one
Each rewrite improves the draft against itself, and the work drifts. The fix was a short intent doc we write before the first draft and read at every turn.
Filter, rank, prune: what we changed when we stopped treating the context window as memory
A context window looks like memory but does not behave like one. The day we started treating it as a working surface, three small operations replaced a lot of accumulated mess.

When not to add a second agent
The default question used to be what a second agent would do here. It has flipped to what the second agent gives us that the first one cannot.
Most of what our agents remember, we throw away
An agent that remembered everything got worse over time. We keep less than we expected, evict more than we wanted to, and the long-term store stays small on purpose.
Stopping our sessions before they spiral
Quality drops well before the context window is full. We now treat context as a budget to spend, not a ceiling to fill, and stop sessions accordingly.
