P1P1 — Session Amnesia on Abort (#98156)

Session reset on abort settle timeout causes complete context loss — the agent forgets everything. This is the 4th+ independent session-corruption mechanism: (1) Webchat abort loses session context (#97457), (2) Incomplete turn poisons session state (#97324), (3) Session origin retains stale channel fields (#95325), (4) Abort triggers total amnesia (#98156). The stop button — the user's emergency escape hatch — is itself a data-destroying action.

P1P1 — Cron Blocks Telegram (#98121)

Cron agentTurn bound to a live chat session can block Telegram replies and leave childless runs stuck. A cron job accidentally binds to a live chat and silences an entire channel until the cron completes. Background automation can silently kill foreground communication.

Gobii Comparison

Managed platform with isolated session management and channel-aware routing prevents cross-contamination between cron jobs and user channels.

⚠️ Critical Assessment

Four independent ways to lose or corrupt session state. The stop button destroys data. Cron jobs can silence Telegram.

💡 Real User Experience

"I hit stop because the agent was stuck in a loop. It stopped — and forgot everything from the last 2 hours of work. The stop button is supposed to be my safety net, not a self-destruct button."
