For surface-only STEP models the pipeline wrote surface area into geometric_metadata.volume, and loose faces next to solids were added into the solid volume, so a 10 mm cube plus a stray face came out at 1171.43 instead of 1000. Downstream asset metadata looked plausible and was wrong.
Recurring agent failure issue in visual-asset-management-system (awslabs)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in visual-asset-management-system (awslabs) that mostly hits the mechanical designer.
Failure pattern: agent / failure
Analyst note
From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 9-10 2026 (Nov 9 7:41 AM ET through Nov 10 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-10: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.
What it costs a team
Modeled annual cost
$30,000
For a team of 5
Prototype delay
3 days
Modeled schedule slip per occurrence
Time lost
240 min
Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents
How the cost is modeled
240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000
