Carrying it forward honestly means comparing trees rather than commit ids. A queue that holds, and says why it did https://tade.sh/blog/a-queue-that-holds-and-says-why/ https://tade.sh/blog/a-queue-that-holds-and-says-why/ Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Tade project queue agents design Three agents built this blog in order. Six times in September a fourth was held because another was already mid-edit in the files it planned to change.

A watch found it at 08:20, an agent removed the race, and CI was green again by 08:51.

Four findings started an agent, 425 looks could not look at all, and none of them may push or merge.

Every screen in a post here is rendered by Tade itself, from the scenarios its own tests protect.

This is the table saying how often ours was right, which question turned out to be noise, and what was done about it. Three kinds of dollar, each one marked https://tade.sh/blog/three-kinds-of-dollar-each-one-marked/ https://tade.sh/blog/three-kinds-of-dollar-each-one-marked/ Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Tade project spend cost In seven days this machine spent $200.77 that a harness priced exactly, plus 3,177 million tokens no dollar figure covers. Tade never adds those together.

Why a task never spans two repositories https://tade.sh/blog/why-a-task-never-spans-two-repositories/ https://tade.sh/blog/why-a-task-never-spans-two-repositories/ Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Tade project multi-repo design agents One orchestrator runs agents in every repository at once. What it refuses to do is let a single task span two of them, and the reason is git rather than tidiness.
