GLM's plan limit ran out for the second time in a month, and with one judge every conditioned phase on every mission fails until it resets. When the primary independent judge errors, CLAWMATES_VALIDATOR_FALLBACK_MODEL (prod: kimi:kimi-for-coding) judges instead, through the same independence checks (one shared function) plus one more: never the primary's own family. Measured first: judge-eval 15 cases x 3, kimi-for-coding 44/45 vs glm-5.3 43/45; goodhart — the false positive that once ruled Kimi out — 3/3. When both fail, the primary's error leads so the phase runner still reads the z.ai plan-limit code and does not spend the pass. Prod's kimi provider moved to the anthropic format the eval used (host config, backed up). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
