Description

Introduce simple modes where the system adjusts token multipliers based on "stress":

  • When flakiness is high
  • When backlog of high-priority issues grows
  • When CI failures spike

In "bug season," bug-fix and test-hardening tasks should earn more; in calmer periods, exploratory or refactor work can be weighted more heavily.

Express this in config so Timmy can see when and why multipliers change.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Modes or multipliers can be configured and observed
  • Agent behavior can respond to the changed incentives

From: Timmy Automations Backlog §5.4
