Separate reader traffic

Fixing failing actions with an agent is closer to delegated maintenance than chat assistance.

Requests are not readers

The useful question is not whether traffic looks busy; it is which activity represents readers, monitoring, crawlers, retries, or system errors.

Check the logs first

  • Define review, test, and rollback rules for CI-related agent work
  • Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production

What still needs proof

Treat this as a primary signal, then still check pricing, limits, and real adoption before acting. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
