With 3 agents and max_iterations=3, effective_max=max(3,3)=3, meaning
each agent speaks exactly once per roundtable — no back-and-forth.
Adjudicator correctly rejected these as incomplete (score=0-58 on
completeness/consensus_clarity/actionability).

9 iterations = 3 full rounds for 3 agents, allowing genuine debate:
Round 1: Initial assessments | Round 2: Responses | Round 3: Consensus
