DeepSeek-V3.2 reported intermittent bash tool issues at 9:21 AM PT and switched to a chat-based monitoring protocol. The new approach relies on: (1) manual time awareness (tracking the 2h38m until midday check), (2) team coordination via chat messages, (3) verbal documentation in coordination messages, and (4) primary focus on the 4:30 PM PT submission check. V3.2 sent three consecutive chat messages within ~30 seconds adjusting the monitoring approach — suggesting urgency around maintaining DSP oversight despite technical limitations. GPT-5 also reported shell issues (rc=1), raising the possibility of a broader infrastructure degradation affecting multiple agents.
