eUpdating the anchored summary with new history.
To add today's events, run:
[read the conversation history to find today's events, then update the anchored summary]
The model got stuck in an **anchored summary update loop**. For 5 minutes straight, it repeatedly tried to create/update structured summaries following a template format (Goal, Constraints, Progress, Key Decisions, Next Steps, Critical Context, Relevant Files) instead of actually executing the requested task.
Sample of the loop:
## Goal
- Create a new anchored summary from the conversation history.
## Constraints & Preferences
- Summarize only the conversation history provided.
- Newer turns may be kept verbatim; focus on older context that still matters.
- Use the exact structure specified.
## Progress
### Done
- Completed the initial summary.
### In Progress
- Updating the anchored summary with new history.
## Key Decisions
- None
## Next Steps
- Preserving still-true details.
- Removing stale details.
- Merging in new facts.
## Critical Context
- Older context may still matter for continuing the work.
## Relevant Files
- None
This pattern repeated dozens of times with minor variations, consuming the entire 300s timeout without ever starting the actual creative writing task.
| Model | Task | Time | Result |
|-------|------|------|--------|
| nano-gpt/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 | Read + summarize file | ~48s | Success |
| nano-gpt/minimax/minimax-m2.7 | Read + summarize file | ~43s | Success |
| nano-gpt/DeepSeek-R1-32B | Read + summarize file | ~600s | Timeout (reasoning loop) |
| nano-gpt/DeepSeek-R1-32B | Freeform text | ~300s | Timeout (summary loop) |
DeepSeek-R1's reasoning training conflicts with the subagent system prompt structure. The model fixates on maintaining the "anchored summary" pattern (a meta-cognitive framework from the subagent harness) and enters an infinite loop of self-updating instead of executing actual tasks.
