Problem Statement

There are a few transparency issues with an active session that need to be addressed.

1. the amount of time remaining in a session is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes I see a % showing, usually when its <50%. The % remaining does tend to drop which is expected, but then spike back up. Sometimes the % remaining disappears altogether followed by a sudden session end and reset time.
2. Agent wastes session time. Frequently, the agent will be working on a bug that relates to multiple files. When "fixing" the bug, it will apply the fix in multiple files without confirming that the bug in one file was actually fixed, wasting valuable session time. The agent should focus on one file, confirm the fix worked, then apply the working fix to other files.
3. The Agent seems to be unaware of the amount of session time used/remaining. I've asked the agent how much time is remaining in a session and the agent is simply wrong, sometimes by a lot. My session was once terminated about 5 mins after being informed that I had 60% of my session remaining , leaving me in a broken state.

Proposed Solution

1. The true time remaining in a session should be visible at all times. A log showing which tasks/resources and time used would be helpful for future sessions.

1. The agent should focus on one file, confirm the fix worked, then apply the working fix to other files.
2. The agent should be aware of the true time remaining in a session and be aware of the scope of the task at hand. If the task seems to be one that will exceed the amount of time remaining in the session, agent should raise this limitation and offer alternatives. As it is now, if I ask the agent to do X, and the time it takes to do X exceeds the amount of time remaining in the session, the session suddenly terminates mid-task, leaving me in a broken state. Additionally, sessions should not end mid task. If the session time should be extended just enough to complete the task.
