Endpoint misdetection

What this is

End-of-turn detection fires at the wrong moment, so the agent either answers before the caller has finished or waits after they have.

Status acknowledged: the thread it was reported in was acknowledged upstream.

What is measurable

SignalThis record stands on its own linked sources. To put a number on your own call, hotato autopsy ./call.wav reads a recording you already have and ranks the timing incidents in it.
EstablishesEvery report below links to the original post and names the handle that wrote it; the quote is at most 30 words around the reported failure.
What else it establishes, and what your own trace settles
  • The status changes only when a re-check stores the evidence link, the quote and the date behind the change.
  • Every timestamp comes from the fetched artifact it describes, recorded with the sha256 of the response body it was read from.

What your trace settles

  • Reproducing the mode on your own stack is the next step: the reports below carry the configuration each reporter was running.
TierAtlas record: every field on this page traces to a fetched public artifact. hotato is MIT and runs locally, getting started.

RemovalIf you wrote something quoted on this page and want it gone, one email to atlas-remove@hotato.dev does it. The removal path takes the quote, the handle and the link off this page, out of the feeds and out of the llms.txt within 24 hours, and tombstones the id so the entry cannot quietly return at a new address.
