More autonomous, still needs supervision

OpenAI models are very good, especially Astra, but they have significant limitations. They frequently ignore AGENTS.md instructions as well as explicit instructions in loops and chats. They are infuriatingly sloppy at cleaning up unused worktrees + files, and with multiple concurrent workstreams, can gobble up resources in a moment.

In some ways, they are more autonomous than ever and I can let them crank on extremely long running tasks. In most practical ways, I still have to watch them closely to make sure they don’t go off the rails or tank my working machine. And I have to budget a decent amount of my attention and tokens to clean up after them.
