The author documents running AI coding/reviewing agents non-stop on a Python→Rust port: after 1 day 7 hours, a 5x ChatGPT plan is down to 6% quota. Pitfalls include a 76GB buildup of Rust debug folders from agents "keeping the evidence" that exhausted disk overnight. His orchestration: Terra medium as main codex agent, Luna xhigh for coding subagents, Sol medium as reviewer, and he just switched the coordinator from Terra medium to Luna high to squeeze out more throughput.
