Recommended action: Retry; if consistent reduce prompt/context size and memory-heavy tool usage; contact support with trace_id. Option: Retry; if consistent reduce prompt/context size and memory-heavy tool usage; contact support with trace_id. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Cloud agent task after environment setup Steps: 1. Retry once. 2. Reduce context/memory-heavy steps. 3. Report trace_id. Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
