A scheduler pulls recurring tasks from Todoist, launches a session to handle each one, and a control-plane timer health-checks them every couple of minutes. Most of the time I never see any of it. But unattended work still needs a human sometimes: a permission prompt, an ambiguous call, a finding worth a second opinion.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m not sitting at the terminal when an agent hits one of those moments. So I built a session bridge: it relays an agent&rsquo;s session to a Discord thread and relays my replies back. The agent asks, my phone buzzes, I answer from the bus, the agent carries on. One thread per session, so each conversation keeps its context.</p> <p>The relay itself was easy. The hard part was the two failure modes I hit making it trustworthy.</p>
