What Nobody Tells You About Running 9 Autonomous Agents on a Real Gym

Running 9 autonomous agents on a real gym environment revealed unexpected issues, including a silent port proxy failure and memory creep. The most surprising problem was a regex edge case in a cleanup script that went undetected for 19 days. Simple structural fixes, such as a staggered restart schedule and a constitution-based governance system, resolved the issues. This experience highlights the importance of focusing on system architecture and constraints rather than relying on model intelligence or size.
