An agent session is an ACP session relayed between the mobile app and an agent process on your machine.

How it is created

  • Task pipeline creates a durable session (one per task) with a worktree.
  • Interactive chat can create sessions for ad-hoc work.
  • Some pipeline steps use short ephemeral turns (for example summary).

Session statuses

Idle sessions hibernate after a quiet period (default 3 hours, GPR_AGENT_IDLE_SECONDS).

Reconnect grace

If the daemon loses the backend socket briefly, in-flight agent processes can survive for a grace window (default 120 seconds, GPR_SESSION_RECONNECT_GRACE_SECONDS) before being killed.

Permissions

Agents request permission over ACP (session/request_permission). The daemon auto-approves safe kinds by default and forwards mutating kinds to you. Details: Permissions.

Task linkage

Task-owned sessions carry the pipeline. Stopping a live run marks the task interrupted while keeping the checkpoint so you can continue later.
