Multi-agent loop failures might be org-design failures, not prompt failures

Repo: Almost every multi-agent setup I have shipped or tested eventually hits the same wall. Agents bouncing between each other, reviewers asking for one polish pass forever, research workers spawning indefinite subtopics, tool calls spiraling until the recursion limit kicks in. The framework docs usually call these "loops" and offer a max-iteration knob. I started suspecting the knob is treating a symptom, and the real issue is closer to how the agents are organized to begin with.
