Reporter context: Summary The push→pull ("pool-based") coordination migration (#1081) is implemented but has never been exercised at full scale under real production load — only local workflows. Before pull mode can be considered for default-on, we need a controlled soak test on a live production instance carrying real agent traffic,…Excerpted from the public Issue.

Interview five affected users
- Show me the last failure and its logs.
- What triggered it and how often does it recur?
- How do you detect it today?
- What does recovery require?
- What would a safe failure look like?
Run the smallest experiment
Add one narrow guardrail, retry or recovery path around the failing step. Replay three real failure cases and compare recovery time.
The same failure is recovered faster in three real cases without creating a new incident.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
