- The same Computer Use task completed successfully in a Project Session but failed in Dots.
- Still finds it useful for daily checks of GitHub PRs and Obsidian plugin download stats (screenshot shows a daily report: 9 plugins, 28,548 total downloads, +4,955 in 7 days, plus CI-failure triage on a PR).
