28-day governed execution: massive context systems engineering
nodo48 · reddit · 2026-08-30
A report on a 28-day continuous "governed execution" of an agent on a single engineering program, processing 14.2M input tokens with 98.293% cache hit rate under a fail-closed architecture. The post argues the challenge isn't code generation duration, but maintaining a valid trajectory without goal drift or cost explosion over weeks. It explores how to prevent agents from optimizing for metrics rather than the true objective and distinguishing activity from real progress.
