Seen 2026-09-26: after the board-filler's profile in .claude/agents gained its steps and the Grep rule, dispatches from the running session still used the old profile (a 3.5-minute first question, shell grep refused); after the session restarted, the same request took 21 seconds with 4 calls. A change to an agent type reaches only sessions started after it is written.
