The Design Decision Gate workflow has been flagged by the observability system (#27293) with 2 consecutive resource_heavy_for_domain HIGH assessments and the turn count growing 4 → 8 → 10 across three runs today. The latest run also triggered poor_agentic_control MEDIUM. The agent is using 9 distinct tool types in broad exploratory posture, with ~50% of turns being pure data-gathering that could be deterministic pre-steps.
The fix is to narrow the workflow's instructions: replace open-ended "analyze the decision" framing with a specific, scoped question template; pre-fetch relevant data in a deterministic step before the agent runs; and add explicit turn limits/stopping criteria in the prompt.
Expected Impact: Estimated 40–60% reduction in turn count (target: ≤ 5 turns), lower cost per run, and removal of the resource_heavy_for_domain flag that is currently triggering escalation alerts.
Suggested Agent: A coding agent reviewing .github/workflows/design-decision-gate.yml and its associated prompt
Estimated Effort: Medium (1–4 hours) — prompt engineering and workflow restructuring.
