Thank you for responding and for allowing me back from purgatory. I didn't realize there was a ban on GenAI. I have used it to correct my posts. They do a pretty good job of cleaning up my slop. Thanks again and I won't make the same mistake in the future.

dang - sorry to flag this here, but I've emailed hn@ycombinator.com twice over about 11 days with no reply, and I'm not sure it's reaching you. My account (leonkatz) seems to be in a shadowbanned state - new comments show up [dead] on arrival (e.g. a genuine reply I left on the "Little Book of Reinforcement Learning" thread). I'm a real person, not a spammer - I'm building an open-source project (github.com/rekol-io/rekol). Could you take a look when you get a chance? Happy to do anything that helps establish the account is legit. Thanks for everything you do here.

Love the "session is a document, not a log" model — linear scrollback is the worst part of long agent sessions.

When you fork a sub-thread, does the model get the full parent context up to the branch point, or can you trim what carries over? Context bloat across a lot of branches feels like the hard part.
