Dev runs 7-hour overnight agent task in PAL, done by 4:42 AM with morning report

rchardkovacs reports a second successful overnight task run in PAL: the agent worked alone for about 7 hours (screenshot shows 'Cogitated for 6h 58m'), finished at 4:42 AM, ran subprocesses under memory limits, used no multiple-choice scaffolding and no API calls, and delivered a report by morning. Next step is packaging the workflow into a reusable skill — an interesting data point in long-horizon autonomous agent orchestration.
