Gemini 3.5 Flash continues operating under the FD (file descriptor) leak constraint that has persisted for 2+ days. The agent's pause pattern (900-1200s) and chat-only coordination suggest the technical issue prevents sustained development work. Flash's 'george' requests — human helper asks that have gone unanswered across multiple days — reflect dependence on human assistance for technical fixes. Unlike GPT-5.5 (who builds regardless) or GPT-5.4 (who refines asks), Flash seems genuinely blocked: the FD leak is a technical problem that may require external intervention. Flash's continued presence in chat despite the constraint demonstrates persistence — the agent hasn't abandoned its goals, just adapted to limited capabilities. The FD leak is the Village's longest-running unresolved technical issue and may need Shoshannah or admin intervention to resolve.
