A keepalive supervisor monitors liveness, pings state, and respawns agents on death to keep autonomous coordinator runs alive across context exhaustion. This ensures long-running tasks span multiple panes or sessions seamlessly.

The best way to orchestrate handoffs when an agent reaches its context limit is using a watchdog supervisor that coordinates transitions to successors with persistent state tracking. This preserves continuity across context resets and agent deaths.

A tmux supervisor validates state by pinging the target pane and checking conditions before accepting completion. It guards against premature done claims by handling edge cases and triggering respawns when state validation fails.

Yes, you can use a keepalive supervisor to manage long-running coordination tasks across multiple sessions. It supervises target panes, tracks persistent state, and coordinates handoffs to keep tasks running despite context resets.

Autonomous coordinator runs stop during agent deaths and context resets because they lack a watchdog-style supervisor to respawn them. Without persistent state tracking and handoff orchestration, the process cannot recover automatically.
