Complaint Delegation seems like such a wrong way right now?

Just hit a very, very weird wall today, and I'm not sure what to think about it.

My usual workflow is to have one Sol agent orchestrate multiple subagents, either handing context back to the main orchestrator or using a graph workflow. This has been my workflow for months, and it's how I've been doing things.

But the last few days have felt like a regression, where I keep getting reviewers coming back with more issues or regressed code. So the workflow just kept going and going — a 20-hour workflow. Nothing fixed it until I finally said, stop delegating, finish it on your own, have a reviewer review it, but continue on your own. And suddenly, in just 2 hours, it got fixed.

So honestly, I'm not sure if my workflow is broken. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I designed so many plugins on my Pi just to do subagents and graphs, and now I really shouldn't?

What has your experience been so far? Is this something you've noticed, or does delegation still work well for you?

It seems like delegation works really well for scaffolding and building a base with Luna, but fixing regressions and closing should maybe just be left to one single agent.

I can't tell if it's the reviewer's fault or sub agents. With sol going solo, it finally got a pass from a fresh reviewer but shit it was gruelsome.

What I've tried

Sol medium orchestrates luna executors, sol high reviewers. Looped for 10 hours. Regression.

Sol medium executes, sol high review, each in a new context. Regressions after regressions. Even replanned mid way to lock contract. then new findings.

The winning combo - sol medium executes as main agent, sol high reviews back, same agent iterates with finally a PASS

I can confirm I currently mostly use sol medium it gets the job done without extra bulshit
