The author complains that Sol Ultra is wildly inconsistent: sometimes it performs well, but other times it spends two days repeatedly changing permissions on a single file instead of making progress. The screenshot shows the agent stuck in a long recovery/debug loop around a partially published data-generation run, with the user angrily asking why it isn't just fixing the issue and starting the run.
