Shallow-run detection¶

A health signal that flags any hunter agent finishing with zero findings as "shallow" and immediately requeues it for a new run — on the assumption that zero findings from a complete codebase usually indicates a crashed dependency or silent failure rather than a genuinely clean codebase.

Rationale¶

"If a hunt finished suspiciously fast and fails to spawn sub-hunts or gap tasks, it usually indicates a crashed dependency rather than a clean codebase." (Source: sources/2026-06-18-cloudflare-build-your-own-vulnerability-harness)

This complements coverage-cell measurement by catching systemic failures (broken sandbox, API errors returned as 200-OK text, missing build dependencies) that would otherwise be logged as successful zero-finding runs.
