    I've had similar subagent explosion before. 437 claude code subagents running adversarial reviews on a tiny thing (in yolo mode). Nothing to stop it.

    Loops a really a huge pain in the... And many of these subagents would run similar (if not identical) checks over and over. So I realized just setting a hard circuit breaker spending cap isn't enough. I've had some luck with some oss tools, things like work receipts, better traces/observability. But still had to build my own stack of rules to make the agents actually work with out bankrupting me.
