Infinite Tasks Timeout

Stop runaway commands before they consume your resources.

The agent lets you set a timeout for commands. This helps automatically stop commands that might run forever, like a development server.

For example:

devserver | head -50

No additional details for this agent.

Claude Code has separate modes for long-running processes (like dev servers) and finite commands (like ls).

The default timeout is 2 minutes, with a maximum of 10 minutes. For long-running processes such as dev servers, file watchers, or test runners in watch mode, Claude Code provides a special run_in_background flag in its built-in bash tool.

Codex stopping a long-running dev server — Codex automatically stops long-running processes like dev servers

Codex cannot run long-running processes such as dev servers indefinitely. When executing commands that keep running (like pnpm dev), Codex will automatically stop them after a short timeout.

Processes Explorer

Manage stuck processes from your pipeline.

Sometimes agents create zombie or stuck processes while running a pipeline. If these are not cleaned up, they can use resources and interfere with later runs. This feature helps you find and manage such processes created by this pipeline, rather than showing all system processes.

Features:

Shows all processes started by the pipeline
Lets you check the status of each process
Allows you to end or kill stuck/zombie processes
Displays resource usage for these processes
Helps you identify and stop anything the agent leaves running

Claude Code can run tasks in the background and display them. You can view shell details including status, runtime, command, and output. You can also kill processes using the k shortcut.

If you want to manage already run processes, just type /bashes or /tasks.
