I've had similar experiences when I throw a bunch of agents at a problem... some things get flagged but a lot gets truncated in the summarization step. Per-phase constraints solve this naturally, and I think the problem is better suited to be solved serially. Have each specialized 'review' phase scoped to only read and annotate (even better with a code-owners style read scoping) with max iterations in deterministic code. The scope can't creep past the constraints you've set for it. Scope explosion comes from agents having unbounded tool access and no transition gates between phases... it will overreach if given the opportunity to
