Observation / 2026-05-15
Agent work is becoming supervisory: the scarce act is increasingly deciding what to ask, inspect, accept, or redirect, not typing the implementation.
Pattern noticed while using desktop and cloud coding agents across this repository.
The work still contains engineering judgment, but the high-friction motion has shifted. I spend more of the loop shaping the task boundary, reviewing diffs, and deciding whether the output deserves to become source.
