I agree with your statement and explained in a few other comments how we're doing this.

tldr:

- Something happens that needs investigating

- Main (Opus) agent makes focused plan and spawns sub agents (Haiku)

- They use ClickHouse queries to grab only relevant pieces of logs and return summaries/patterns

This is what you would do manually: you're not going to read through 10 TB of logs when something happens; you make a plan, open a few tabs and start doing narrow, focused searches.
