The lead pattern is resilience under restart and load, with a parallel push to make the control UI feel faster.
First, Gateway lifecycle hardening. Restart recovery now waits for workspace preparation before resuming an interrupted turn, covered in PR 196423, so restarts no longer abandon work that just needed checkout to finish. Related startup work in PR 196401 keeps the Gateway starting when a conflicting legacy approvals…
Second, resource and agent stability. Memory protection for thread-heavy processes now allocates less temporary storage in PR 196416, while session workers in PR 196277 no longer load consumed input history into memory, fixing out-of-memory failures. Code Mode in PR 196435 settles failed calls as tool errors so…
