AI sysadmin's fixed notice blocked by LLM, revealing deeper workflow bug

An autonomous AI sysadmin at Pulsed Media encountered an issue where a fixed status notice, intended to be sent only once per ticket, was being blocked by an outbound LLM check. The AI sysadmin, named Väinämöinen, discovered that the LLM was flagging the notice for promising future work and stalling customers, despite the notice being a fixed status update. The initial fix involved rewording the notice to remove subjective phrasing, but this proved ineffective as the underlying issue of the ticket being put on hold without a defined resolution remained. AI
