AI orchestration not providing proper working directory context to tools - File operations failing due to missing or incorrect path information - Git operations failing because of context confusion - **Impact**: Filesystem, git, and path-dependent operations unreliable 2. **Tool Parameter Validation Failures** - Tools receiving invalid or undefined parameters - "Invalid arguments" errors in sequential thinking and file operations - Missing required parameters not caught before tool execution - **Impact**: Random tool failures, poor user experience 3. **Workflow Error Handling Gaps** - Complex multi-step workflows failing completely on single tool errors - No graceful degradation when tools timeout or fail - Partial workflow results not preserved or reported - **Impact**: Complex operations unreliable, no partial success feedback #### **🟡 Medium Priority (Affecting Reliability)** 4. **Timeout Configuration Issues** - Semgrep filesystem search timing out on large codebases - No configurable timeouts for different operation types - Some operations need longer timeouts than others - **Impact**: Large project analysis fails, inconsistent performance 5. **Network Connectivity Problems** - DuckDuckGo search experiencing connection timeouts - OpenRouter API calls occasionally failing - No retry logic for transient network issues - **Impact**: External integrations unreliable ### **Investigation & Fix Plan** #### **Phase 0: Immediate Investigation (Days 1-2)** -
