What we do not detect
This page lists what vibesenpai does not report, and why: some ideas were measured and removed, and some are out of scope.
Tried and removed
Detectors that were built or proposed, measured on real sessions, and removed are in the graveyard, each with the reason. Two examples:
- A “stale read” check: every match followed the agent’s own earlier edit.
- A “denied tool call” check: the denials were people rejecting a plan or answering a question, which is plan mode working.
Out of scope by design
| not reported | why |
|---|---|
| code the agent never looked at | it never opens your repository; it sees only what the agent’s tools returned in the session (files it read, command output). Three of the research taxonomy’s seven categories are not covered (Limits) |
| a score or grade of you | it cannot be checked against a turn |
| a pattern that is common but not shown to be waste | for example, editing one file many times. That is how most work gets done (the graveyard) |
| sessions from other harnesses | Claude Code only |
