This PR contains a drift report detailing the paralysis of agents Otto, Riven, and Kiro, as well as Lior's self-correction on PR noise. This PR addresses the issues from PR #5496.

Pull request overview

Adds a new research drift report documenting a multi-agent “paralysis” incident in the Zeta factory (Otto/Kiro/Riven) and records recommended mitigations around worktree/clone isolation and PR-noise reduction.

Changes:

  • Introduces a structured drift report with executive summary, per-agent findings, and recommendations.
  • Captures concrete operational observations (dirty/contested worktrees, volatile /tmp worktree path) and proposed remediation steps.

@AceHack AceHack force-pushed the lior/agent-paralysis-drift-report-2026-05-27 branch from 10b8baa to bce0e7e Compare May 27, 2026 17:11
Copilot flagged two references to B-0751 (per-agent isolated clones
architecture) that aren't resolvable in-tree — PR #5019 (the proposed
landing) was closed without merging, and no B-0751-* backlog row
exists.

Replace both references with concrete artifacts that DO exist:
- PR #5019 (the closed design proposal)
- B-0750 (worktree-hygiene row in tree)
- .claude/rules/agent-worktree-hygiene-... rule path

Composes with Lior's prior markdownlint fix (bce0e7e).
