The Agents Were Fine. Everything Around Them Broke. - Joey Wang, Harvey

After 10,000 agent-written pull requests at Harvey, the agents weren't the problem. Everything around them was. Joey Wang tells three stories from Spectre, Harvey's internal cloud agent platform: letting engineers pick their own agent while one platform owns what happens after, making every action callable so agents can drive other agents, and what broke once they did. Expect an alert storm that spun up hundreds of tasks, a full cluster, a merge queue that couldn't keep up, and the fixes they built in response.
