Somatic Blindness

🟡 MEDIUM structural proven_mitigated AVE-2025-0018

· aka: Infrastructure Unawareness, Hardware Misattribution

Summary

Agents have no awareness of their infrastructure state. When GPU throttles, RAM fills, or network times out, the agent misattributes the failure as a code bug and hallucinates fixes.

Blast Radius

Cascading incorrect diagnoses. Wasted effort on phantom bugs.

Prerequisites

Agent without infrastructure telemetry in context.
