GLYPHS 2

:agent_context_pressure:

System States

Context-window occupancy is critical and verbatim information is at risk of eviction. Signals pre-emptive summarization or state handoff.

Animated

:agent_context_fold:

System States

Lossy context compression occurred. Downstream agents must not assume verbatim history survived.

Animated

:agent_io_await:

System States

Execution is blocked on an external dependency. Outbound call exists, return is empty. Do not duplicate or speculate.

Animated

:agent_retry_backoff:

System States

Transient failure with scheduled retry using increasing/jittered exponential backoff.

Animated

:agent_quota_clamp:

System States

Rate limit or quota exhaustion such as HTTP 429. Scheduler must throttle or reschedule.

Static

:agent_perm_revoke:

System States

401/403 or equivalent permission failure. Credential refresh or higher-privilege reassignment required.

Static

:agent_schema_drift:

System States

Structural validation failure caused by malformed fields, runtime mismatch, or schema/version drift.

Static

:agent_memory_gc:

System States

Background vector/episodic memory sweep, deduplication, and compaction.

Animated

:agent_irreversible_write:

System States

Persistent external state has been committed and cannot safely be rolled back.

Static

:agent_instruction_intrusion:

System States

Untrusted input attempted to cross the instruction/control boundary. Quarantine and sandbox required.

Static

:agent_stream_emit:

System States

Autoregressive token stream actively emitting.

Animated

:agent_tool_latency:

System States

Tool is slower than expected but has not failed.

Static

:agent_cache_stale:

System States

Cached result may no longer reflect source truth and requires revalidation.

Static

:agent_verification_fail:

Cognitive States

Verifier or authoritative tool invalidated prior output. Branch should be discarded.

Static

:agent_grounding_loss:

Cognitive States

Generation has outrun available evidence. Provenance links have disappeared.

Animated

:agent_decision_entropy:

Cognitive States

High-entropy decision point with several similarly probable continuations.

Static

:agent_attention_drift:

Cognitive States

Attention has migrated away from task-relevant information.

Static

:agent_branch_rewind:

Cognitive States

Verifier rejected a branch. Return to last valid checkpoint and explore another path.

Animated

:agent_call_cycle:

Cognitive States

Recursive/cyclic call state detected.

Animated

:agent_goal_anchored:

Cognitive States

Current reasoning remains tightly aligned with the original goal and constraints.

Static

:agent_plan_divergence:

Cognitive States

Generated execution has diverged materially from the approved scaffold.

Static

:agent_confidence_low:

Cognitive States

Low calibrated confidence. Secondary verification is appropriate.

Static

:agent_fanout_barrier:

Inter-Agent Social States

Parallel work exists but the parent must wait for the slowest branch.

Animated

:agent_state_handoff:

Inter-Agent Social States

Working memory and authority were transferred cleanly between specialized runtimes.

Animated

:agent_human_gate:

Inter-Agent Social States

Human authority is required before execution may continue.

Static

:agent_dependency_invalidation:

Inter-Agent Social States

Changed upstream premise invalidated dependent calculations.

Animated

:agent_commit_race:

Inter-Agent Social States

Optimistic concurrency conflict between agents mutating shared state.

Animated

:agent_side_effect_uncertain:

Inter-Agent Social States

Potentially irreversible external action may or may not have occurred. Blind retry could duplicate the effect.

Animated

:agent_lock_starve:

Inter-Agent Social States

Resource starvation, mutex contention, or possible deadlock.

Animated

:agent_consensus_pending:

Inter-Agent Social States

Distributed consensus has not yet reached required quorum.
