Watches every Bash command the model runs, foreground and background, and stops one that looks stuck: no output, no CPU and no I/O for 10 minutes. The model is told why and decides whether to re-run it.

recv/send counted from ss's TCP counters), for quietMinutes. A quiet build that is linking, a simulation that prints nothing, or a curl -o / rsync / git clone --quiet moving data is busy, not stuck.npm run dev, vite, python -m http.server, tsc --watch, tail -f app.log.ssh host make or docker run of a job that prints nothing, docker compose up with quiet containers. Such a command is stopped after quietMinutes like a hung one; raise quietMinutes if you run them.sleep running in the tree counts as activity: a wait loop that sleeps between checks is never stopped, and the step after a long sleep gets the whole limit. A wait loop whose check hangs (a curl that never returns, no sleep running) is stopped like any other command.⚠ hang.sh quiet 6m/10m) and shows each stop for the next quietMinutes; each stop is also a toast and a transcript line./watchdog prints the summary: every command of the session, foreground or background, how long it ran, its state and its last line of output.The engine runs each Bash command in a shell whose output goes to a task file (…/tasks/<id>.output), foreground ones included. Every 10 s while a command runs, one bash scan lists the engine's child shells, their output files and sizes, and their process trees' CPU ticks from /proc. A call is matched to its shell by the command in the shell's command line, and a background one then by the output file its result names. When the command line does not match, a lone waiting call takes a lone unowned shell, but only one that started after the call: a shell that stood before it is someone else's. A foreground command the engine moves to the background (its timeout, ctrl+b) is watched on as a background task.
