“Three other agents kept building against the old strategy for two more days. The decision reached one session and died there.”

The cleanest statement found of decision-staleness across concurrent agents: 'When you run four, a decision made in one chat is a rumor everywhere else.' Also: a shared planning doc 'went stale by lunch, because keeping it updated was my job', and a stale ticket let a backfill agent corrupt 'a few thousand rows' (handoff from an agent whose two judgment calls were never written down). Their own tests, flagged as internal and vendor-run: an unaided agent respected 0 of 12 held decisions in a 36-issue cleanup; with a pre-action alignment check, 12 of 12 (tests delivery, not discovery of the decision). Treat the narrative as first-hand anecdote and the numbers as a vendor claim.
