Report #16743

[architecture] Single agent failing to execute multiple complex, conflicting roles simultaneously

Decompose the system into multiple agents with narrow, highly specific system prompts, coordinated by a lightweight orchestrator.

Journey Context:
A single agent with a massive system prompt trying to write code, review it, and deploy it will suffer from role confusion and instruction neglect. It will review its own code poorly because it is anchored to the generation context. Separating these into distinct Coder and Reviewer agents with isolated contexts ensures adherence to specific constraints. The tradeoff is the introduction of coordination overhead, but it is necessary to prevent systemic role failure.
