From Codex review:

1. High: unresolved finished(...) function call times out after task completion
   tmp.goog.log:92552, tmp.goog.log:92556, tmp.goog.log:92572, tmp.goog.log:92578, tmp.goog.log:92753
   Impact: task completes, but the finished function call never resolves; this leaves a timeout handler alive and produces a
   20s timeout warning.
   Fix: on task cancel/finish paths, force-resolve in-flight function calls (especially finished) and emit a
   FunctionCallResultFrame before pipeline teardown.
2. High: intermittent silent turns after corporation_info (user must nudge with “What?”/“Check?”/“Hello?”)
   Examples: tmp.goog.log:35506, tmp.goog.log:35942, tmp.goog.log:38742, tmp.goog.log:39498; tmp.goog.log:40499,
   tmp.goog.log:40904, tmp.goog.log:41022, tmp.goog.log:41277; tmp.goog.log:21498, tmp.goog.log:21776
   Impact: direct user questions can produce no spoken answer on first turn.
   Fix: add a voice-agent zero-token fallback: if post-tool inference returns completion tokens: 0 and no tool calls, auto-
   reprompt/retry once (or synthesize a safe fallback response) instead of waiting for user follow-up.
3. Medium: task-scoped course.plot is ignored by relay/UI, but still emitted via task output stream
   Ignored correctly: tmp.goog.log:77701, tmp.goog.log:77703, tmp.goog.log:77704
   Still emitted in task output: tmp.goog.log:77705, tmp.goog.log:83850
   Impact: if client map logic listens to task output events, it can still draw unintended route lines.
   Fix: suppress task-scoped course.plot in task output payloads, or enforce client-side filtering by task_id/voice-request
   correlation before drawing.
4. Medium: duplicate error emission for same failed trade request
   Examples for same request_id: tmp.goog.log:23407 and tmp.goog.log:23607; tmp.goog.log:24724 and tmp.goog.log:24922;
   tmp.goog.log:39286 and tmp.goog.log:39485
   Impact: duplicate [EVENT] error/[ERROR] noise can confuse task reasoning and UI/log consumers.
   Fix: dedupe by request_id (prefer authoritative server event; suppress synthesized duplicate if real error event
   arrives).
5. Medium: recurring dangling task warnings
   tmp.goog.log:2992, tmp.goog.log:13267, tmp.goog.log:38733, tmp.goog.log:40336, tmp.goog.log:71869, tmp.goog.log:75886,
   tmp.goog.log:79801, tmp.goog.log:95441
   Impact: indicates cleanup gaps; one instance is directly tied to the unresolved finished timeout handler.
   Fix: tighten pipeline shutdown ordering and ensure task manager drains/cancels runner + processor tasks
   deterministically.
6. Low: context compression sees duplicate system prompts
   tmp.goog.log:44280
   Impact: potential prompt bloat/instruction conflicts.
   Fix: enforce single canonical system message before compression.
