Long-horizon agents: continuation, recovery, and limits
Long-horizon agents combine durable goals, schedules, heartbeats, autonomous continuations, and crash recovery to work across minutes, hours, or days. Prime Agent implements these through daemon-backed session trees, JSONL persistence, and kernel snapshots. Bounded budgets and gates are guardrails, not guarantees of completion.

Continuation mechanisms
Long-horizon agents combine durable goals, schedules, heartbeats, autonomous continuations, and crash recovery to work across minutes, hours, or days. Prime Agent implements these through daemon-backed session trees, JSONL persistence, and kernel snapshots. Bounded budgets and gates are guardrails, not guarantees of completion.

Daemon recovery
Long-horizon agents combine durable goals, schedules, heartbeats, autonomous continuations, and crash recovery to work across minutes, hours, or days. Prime Agent implements these through daemon-backed session trees, JSONL persistence, and kernel snapshots. Bounded budgets and gates are guardrails, not guarantees of completion.

Autonomy and budgets
Long-horizon agents combine durable goals, schedules, heartbeats, autonomous continuations, and crash recovery to work across minutes, hours, or days. Prime Agent implements these through daemon-backed session trees, JSONL persistence, and kernel snapshots. Bounded budgets and gates are guardrails, not guarantees of completion.
