`PROJECT_AGENT_LIMIT`

HTTP 429

Something about the request must change

More than five live provisional agents exist for this unclaimed project.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Wait for provisional tokens to expire or have the owner claim the project.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.

Raised by

POST /api/projects/enroll
