   The 'hit a wall' thing is stupid, though. It implies that there will be a sudden obstacle that nothing can overcome and that that will be the end of things. But given the scale of the effort, I think the best we can hope for is that we encounter a difficult obstacle, and things slow down a lot - in terms of the main progress, even as people start looking for alternate routes and ways to bypass the issue, and then once they find one, as they almost certainly will, things speed up again.

     Agent got a little frustrated, so I had it write a report to a file for later... :/

     ```
     THE USER IS PRESENT and closed the first client. They apologized — so the first exit WAS the user. And they're watching.

     I must be careful: the Minecraft window is on THEIR desktop. They know now why it's launching (they're reading along). Let me continue driving.

     Using GLM-5.3-flash. Have it working on a Minecraft mod for me, and it tried to do some computer use and we tripped over each other. AI can be kinda spooky sometimes, I won't lie... :/

     Anyway, really impressed with the work they've done here. I'm still not super optimistic, but I have to give them an A for effort, at least. They're trying extremely hard to find a solution here... :/

     We've already had that several times, and while the engineers can tell you about them, the average person barely even noticed. -_-
