Teknium debugs a trading agent: 60s approval timeout, broken Honcho memory
Teknium · x · 2026-09-13
Teknium diagnosed a Hermes trading agent stuck for two days trying to place an order. Verdict: not one bug — the flow dies on the approval gate with a 60s timeout (should be 300s), the agent burns hours delegating around it, and a broken Honcho memory backend means it can't remember what it bought. He suggests enabling yolo mode to cut through approval blocks. Stack: openai-codex gpt-5.6-sol, maxturns 45, Linux VPS.
