> 8M-LOC codebase
I think this is the difference. These toy examples of using parallel agents are *not* running against large codebases, allowing them to iterate more effectively. Once you are in real codebases (>1M LoC), these systems break down.

But our reaction to it has been to say "ok, well the best practice in software engineering is to make small, well-isolated components anyway, so what if we did that?"
We've been trying to really break things apart into smaller pieces (and that's even evident in mngr, where much of the code is split out into separate plugins), and have been having a ton of success with it.
I realize that that might not be an option for more brownfield / existing / legacy projects, but when making something new, I've really been enjoying this way of building things.
