Summary

  • The agent's first action was launching a Task subagent to "explore the vinext codebase structure", which ran for 28 minutes and consumed the entire 30-minute timeout before ever reading a single commit
  • Three fixes:
    1. Deny task permission so the agent cannot launch subagents
    2. Add explicit instruction not to explore the codebase or read local files
    3. Inline the full codebase structure in the agent config so it has all context it needs
