From c3b64cbe2eca41373003696d0f1e588d14c90716 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: parsakhaz Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 19:56:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add opt-in unattended resilience to the Pane Chat orchestrator skill Both generated variants (runpane-orchestrator.md guide and the pane-orchestrator SKILL.md mirrored to Codex, Claude and Cursor) now ask one startup question after doctor and the watcher self-test, defaulting to yes, and carry a shared "Unattended resilience (when enabled)" section: caffeinate keep-awake with the battery/clamshell caveat, auto-resume of orchestrator-dispatched panes whose turn died from a sleep or network API error, guardrails (never BLOCKED panes, max 3 resumes per pane per hour, log every resume, hard stops unchanged), and a watcher self-test re-run after a detected wake. Files are rewritten unconditionally on every ensurePaneChatGuide, so existing installs pick the text up on next launch; the bootstrap prompt is unchanged so PANE_CHAT_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION stays at 9.
