Got in the way: Complex multi-agent setup and provider switching to work around token limits.
My head of engineering spent half a day creating a complex setup of agents in opencode, to refactor a data model across multiple repositories. After a day running agents and switching between providers to work around the token limits, it dumped a -20k +30k change set we'll need to review. If we're very lucky, we'll break even time wise compared to just running a single agent on a tight leash.
