I don’t see if this is one of the covered cases, but one of the more common and nefarious patterns I run into is what you might call "sweeping exceptions under the rug." I think the agent’s motivation to get things running encourages these antipatterns of designing routines that are fault tolerant in a sort of maladaptive way: e.g. catching an error, logging a warning that something didn’t work, and continuing, but with now potentially missing/broken state.

This has bitten me a couple of times, and it’s surprisingly annoying to nudge agents into good/resilient patterns or identify situations that should fail loudly, at least in my experience. The retry mechanisms they come up with on their own are often pretty terrible as well.

I’ll note, though, that I have seen this from human engineers plenty of times, and at least the AI usually adds some logs rather than just totally silently absorbing an exception!
