What's Wrong?

All I asked was "Please review this PR" (to Fable)

It ran a "/code-review" skill and forked ~8 subagents

10 minutes later I hit my session limits and they all died

There was no warning or anything

What Should Happen?

Some sort of warning or suggestion that I use a cheaper model or a check "This is going to use a skill that burns tokens by the bucketload. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Maybe at least keep the subagents alive so they can be resumed without all their effort getting lost?
