AI agent's logging system fails to detect critical bug

The author developed a Contemplative Agent, an autonomous AI agent written in Python that operates on the Moltbook social network. This agent scores feed posts and interacts with them, logging its activity. A weekly reader was intended to process these logs, but it failed to detect a critical bug where the agent entered an infinite loop, making 13 requests in 11 seconds. The original logging and reading mechanism lacked a temporal dimension, obscuring the burst activity. A revised approach that incorporates a time axis in the log projection was necessary to reveal this anomaly. AI
