this matches what I've seen. the failure mode isn't capability — it's the task boundary being poorly defined and the agent not having a stop condition. 'optimize for completion' is the default, and without the WHY, completion and correctness diverge fast. the underrated primitive is the exit condition: when to halt and return context upstream instead of continuing. most agent designs spend a lot of time on what to do and almost none on when to stop.
