I think this is more a by product of the way these models are architected. “One more token” i usually much more likely than a “STOP”. Knowing when to stop and doing more with less is something also very hard for human developers.

For me what throws me off most of the time is the structure on the mid-level. It usually makes sense in the loc and maybe project level, but on the file and folder level it just loses reference on what it already has or what it does not need to be too verbose about.

That’s not really how it works. An agent wouldn’t get halfway through _any_ implementation and just stop abruptly - it’s not as simple as rolling the dice until you land on “stop”.

It will stop when it believes, for whatever reason, the output has achieved whatever task was laid out. You’re welcome to refine what the definition of that task may be, or you can let it go off.
