+### Re-run the brake on recurrence
+
+The brake evaluates one decision; it has a blind spot for accumulation. Small same-shape tasks that arrive one at a time — review findings with a known remedy, templated documents, single-file follow-up fixes — each pass the direct-work test individually, and a session can spend hours executing them serially in the main agent without any single decision being wrong. After completing the same shape of small task directly about three times, if more instances are still arriving, re-enter the primitive table with the accumulated shape rather than the next single item: the remaining instances are repeated homogeneous items, so batch them to a worker and keep only per-item acceptance in the main agent. An already-diagnosed finding with a known remedy counts as such an item — a hot context justifies the first direct fix, not the twentieth.
