Cat steps on keyboard, wakes main agent that finds subagent stuck 10 hours on a dead end

A developer shares that a cat stepping on his keyboard woke up his main project agent, which then checked its subagent's progress and discovered it had been grinding for 10 hours on a dead end—"Feline Intervention," he jokes. The accompanying photo shows the cat resting on a warm LimeSDR serving as an LTE base station for a phone he's hacking. Funny, but it also highlights how long-running autonomous agents lack progress checks and kill switches.
