[00:00:00]Agents are very good at decomposing problems and very bad at knowing when to stop decomposing. Without a depth limit, a task becomes a tree. The tree keeps growing. The agent stays productive, always planning, never shipping. The fix, max decomposition depth. If a subtask spawns more than two levels down, execute it directly instead of decomposing further. Atlas uses depth two max for all non-strategic work.
