I know we supposed to do this but is there any particular reason why such things cannot be supported? I thought its running on same model just different settings like reasoning. This would be super useful.
I sometimes just leave some goals or something running before I go to bed or out and I don’t want to pay the cache text when I come back.
I guess if I had to ask something (as someone who doesn't use CC as their daily driver), how much control do you have on subagents and roughly how do define or know when a session is getting too long? I know the answer is "when the model is getting worse" but worse is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.
If you have to explain that someone is "holding it wrong"(1), that is product error, not a user error.

Especially the /compact part. Like, if a session has been idle for 55 min, why not just automatically run compact at that point?
