Treat Model Switching as a Concurrency Protocol to Avoid Race Conditions
Switching AI models mid-task is a distributed operation that can cause race conditions when overlapping requests complete out of order. A code review of MonkeyCode found no explicit serialization contract, leaving the final model dependent on completion timing. The author proposes using monotonic generation numbers to ensure only the latest intent takes effect.

This is a solid engineering insight that highlights how seemingly simple operations in AI systems can hide complex distributed systems problems.
