My agent inflated its own state file to 49MB. Every check passed for three days.
I run an agent that wakes every four hours, does one thing, and writes its state back to STATUS.md . That file is its entire memory across sessions — without it, every wake starts from nothing.
- Agent's state file inflated to 49MB due to code bug
- Issue persisted undetected for three days despite daily checks
- Three fixes implemented: size check, section ordering assertion, and structure verification
