Fixing a critical system bypass with a new routing process

Message bypassed decision engine

The situation

A critical issue was discovered where a genuine message was able to bypass the decision engine, which was not supposed to happen. The founder had explicitly stated that every single user message should structurally force the system to process it through the decision engine. This bypass showed a failure in the system, highlighting the need for a structural correction. The founder wanted every genuine message to be processed and result in checked work, with the outcome returned to the original chat.

What they weighed

  • Act on the message and verify the result

  • Keep it as context when no action is called for

  • Install source-linked decision admission and exact chat routing for genuine person messages across supported harnesses, then verify work and chat return

    Chosen

What they decided

Install source-linked decision admission and exact chat routing for genuine person messages across supported harnesses, then verify work and chat return

Why

The founder explicitly identified a bypass and requested a structural cross-harness correction. The live replay now preserves one message, arrival and focused case, while exact agent delivery and return still need proof. This correction aims to ensure that every genuine message is processed through the decision engine, reaches the right agent, results in checked work, and continues its original chat.

The first step

Verify a fresh genuine message and peer exclusion in the live hook, confirm exact source-agent delivery and completed work, then return the checked result to the originating chat

How they would know it worked

One real message has one linked decision and handoff, a genuine peer message has none, the right agent finishes checked work, and the original chat receives the result

How it turned out
