Agent Of Empires Daily: Ownership, Cleanup, and a Rocky Road to Green
Today's merges centered on fixing broken ownership models across the agent runner and session lifecycle, plus a cluster of disk-cleanup fixes for sandboxed sessions that were quietly consuming gigabytes. A late-day compile break also forced two quick patches just to get main building again.

PR 3758, from Nathan Brake, gives every runner generation a single lifecycle owner, closing out over a dozen linked issues where a stop and…
Second theme: sandbox disk cleanup. PR 3820 finally reclaims per-session agent stores that pile up after a session is deleted — one machine had over five and a half gigabytes of orphaned credential folders. A same-day follow-up, PR 3825, extended that guard so a partial deletion failure doesn't still nuke the store.…
Third, smaller theme: correctness bugs in the ACP protocol layer, including PR 3538 retiring the old socket relay, and PR 3779 fixing multiple-choice permission prompts that were silently picking the wrong answer.

What's next: watch the ACP lifecycle and sandbox store…
