"The most important optimization wasn't technical. It was reducing unnecessary check-in sessions" is the finding that deserves its own piece.
40% token reduction from cutting heartbeat frequency with zero output impact means the agents were spending nearly half their budget on ceremony rather than work. the burn wasn't in the task execution. it was in the coordination overhead between tasks.
Draper consuming 74% of total compute is the institutional memory compounding argument made visible in a single agent. one agent accumulating enough context and capability to become disproportionately valuable and disproportionately expensive is exactly the asymmetry the piece was describing.
"thinner than people think" is the honest line most agent deployment discussions skip. the margin is real and it's not technical. it's architectural.
