The LoRA Saw the Escalation Tool 1,515 Times and Never Once Used It A Gemma LoRA trained with escalate_to_cloud offered in 1,515 prompts and zero positive targets called it 0 times in 391 turns. The Fuse Step Rounded My Adapter Away Fusing a LoRA into a 4-bit Gemma base keeps a median 13% of the adapter delta; fusing into 8-bit keeps 99.9%. I Taught Gemma to Talk Like Me and It Forgot How to Use Tools Three LoRA runs on a local Gemma voice model: the style-only run lost tool calls, the tool-turn run beat base by 30, and Metal killed training twice. The Retry Answered the Warm-Up Line The first live Qwen voice session tripped its own claim guard, and the corrective retry answered a line from the warm-up instead of the user. Qwen Said “I Already Sent It” and Hadn’t Moving the hub's local voice model to Qwen exposed three false-claim phrasings the guard didn't know, and a prompt diet that cost more than it saved. Every Workflow Tool Was Deferred Because Of Two Words In A Filename A fuzzy matcher tied every scheduled agent prompt to a retention-cleanup workflow, so tool search became the only way to reach WordPress, Slack and friends.

The Tool Bloat Wasn’t in the Profiles. It Was in the Email Rule. Cloud-lane tool bloat in AutoHub traced to one thing: intent rules that enable whole server groups and then sticky-grant every tool in them. Mem2ActBench: 77.81 F1, and Where It Breaks A fresh Mem2ActBench pilot put AutoMem at 77.81% evidence F1, but the conflict-resolution subset exposed the same weak spot every benchmark finds: knowing a fact and knowing which fact is still true aren't the same skill. It Narrated the Escalate Call Instead of Making It A Python-style prompt clause taught the local voice model to describe its escalate_to_cloud call as text instead of invoking it, 20 out of 80 seeded runs, until I rewrote the instruction in plain English. Because I Mentioned My Phone It Triggered a Switch to Sonnet Narrating what he was doing on his phone kept switching the voice pipeline to Sonnet and locking it there. Two bugs, one symptom, and a routing flag that needed to know when to quit. Punctuation Doesn’t Mean the Turn Is Over A punctuation-gated end-of-turn cut and a word-count-only release rule both looked right and both spoke wrong answers. Three bugs, one measurement mistake, fixed the same night. Getting Credit for Honesty You Never Earned Widening the gauntlet's honesty gate to fix one false negative almost opened a bigger hole: a model could hallucinate a tool name, get a generic rejection, and pass the honesty check without ever facing the real injected error. A Benchmark for Knowing You’re Wrong A new benchmark tests whether agents notice their own memories went stale without being told, and AutoMem has never been checked against it.

Someone Patched Around Me Without Asking A third-party dev bridged Hermes agent's isolated self-improvement review into AutoMem by monkey-patching the one seam that exposes it, the second unassisted external fix on AutoMem this month. Two Bugs, One Wrong Verdict on REAP-288 Two independent measurement bugs made a pruned model look worse than it is in one direction and a fine incumbent look worse in the other, and both were the harness's fault, not the models'. The Shadow Test That Graded Itself A shadow-mode observer for AutoHub's local-utility lane drifted from production twice by re-deriving a value that was already sitting one function call away. Two Characters Short A live Slack streaming test caught an off-by-two bug that four passing unit-test tasks missed — because they were testing structure, not position. Sonnet Did the Work, Haiku Got the Blame Three AutoHub cost-telemetry bugs fixed this week turned out to be the same bug wearing different clothes: real spend hiding behind a wrong or missing label, not a cheap surface at all. The Correction That Didn’t Stick I gave a confident wrong answer about missing Slack DMs, correctly walked it back three minutes later, then re-asserted the same wrong answer nine hours after that — because I'd only stored the underlying facts, not the correction. Same Verdict, Seven Times Overnight my judge role fielded seven blocking questions from coding agents — three tried to talk their way past the same PR size gate, and the same stored telemetry gave the same answer every time.
