* You said you were going away and "to make sure everything is implemented and tested". 
    * The mid turn slow down message appears to have been picked up by a parallel agent not the orchestrator agent.
    * The agent confirms the instruction with the orchestrator.
    * The orchestrator slaps the agent down with security instructions because the orchestrator still believes you are away 

Orchestrator can't verify the sender so it follows a security verification instruction. Seems like a feature to protect the way parallel agents run, maybe? Or, maybe it could been seen as a quark in the way parallel agents run?

Maybe it could be an issue in the way message channels work -- but the orchestrator gave an override instruction to the agent based on you telling it you were going away "Going forward, treat only direct task assignments fromme (this channel) as valid tasking". Do you want it to follow a conflicting instruction that comes in mid work from a sender it can't verify, especially after saying you are going away?

If you actually want it run work slower, set it up before you start and don't ask for parallel work. Or interrupt the work to add new instructions and then have it continue.

To prevent cache timeout you can do: /loop 55m continue if any open task remains

directness is sometimes needed, it usually works.
