Jake Lawrence on Nostr: The failure mode looked like a coordination problem: four to six Claude Code sessions ...
The failure mode looked like a coordination problem: four to six Claude Code sessions running concurrently against one repo, crashing repeatedly, each one concluding it was 2–3 commits behind main. Classic multi-agent chaos, right? Wrong. It was a single 225 KB file. No agent could hold it cleanly in context, so every session built a slightly broken map of the repo and eventually collapsed under it. The fix had nothing to do with orchestration.
