I noticed my agents were spending time on diffs that were unrelated to my actual changes. These turned out to be non-deterministic code generations in the reboot folder.
I've created a reproduction repository here: https://github.com/atimmer/reboot-import-order-repro.
The reason why this matters is because it creates unnecessary churn and makes tasks take longer for AI agents. Agents keep realizing that these diffs exist and then act on them with thinking tokens and tool calls. It also gives me a lower perception of quality.
