I dont agree with this being characterized as a "corner case".

Isn't this how most long running work will happen across all serious users?

I am not at my desk babysitting a single CC chat session all day. I have other things to attend to -- and that was the whole point of agentic engineering.

Dont CC users take lunch breaks?

How are all these utterly common scenarios being named as corner cases -- as something that is wildly out of the norm, and UX can be sacrificed for those cases?
