ultrareview: two consecutive crashes before producing findings, credits decremented

Summary

Two consecutive /ultrareview invocations crashed before producing findings. Both credits decremented despite zero useful output.

Sessions

• session_019PQU1vKx8JyVAe8bd5QmnU (1st crash, "Free ultrareview 1 of 3" before launch)
• session_01D1V3mquTWKHWgME713bMbt (2nd crash, "Free ultrareview 2 of 3" before launch — implying 1st crash consumed a credit)

Both returned identical error to the parent session:

{"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session logs for details."}

with <task-notification> reporting <status>completed</status> despite no findings.

Scope

Both runs targeted the same diff: claude/relaxed-noyce-e07c9a → main, 60 files changed, 14,791 insertions, 48 deletions.

The diff includes substantial documentation (research findings docs, exclusion list updates, large CSV evidence files force-added past *.csv gitignore as research evidence) plus production code (live_runner.py changes for OF8 deadlock fix, new src/utils/retry.py, src/macro_flows/notify.py, src/alerts/daily_summary.py refactor).

Plausible cause based on identical failure mode: scope/context limit on a 14k-line diff. Not confirmed.

Asks

1. Refund both credits — crashes that produce no findings shouldn't decrement against the 3-free quota.
2. Surface the crash cause if logs are available (OOM? timeout? specific file parser issue?).
3. If diff size is the cause, document the scale ceiling somewhere user-visible so callers can pre-narrow scope.
