Autonomy should reduce supervision, not create a new kind of babysitting.
Agent systems become exhausting when the operator has to keep checking whether a run is stuck, waiting, looping, or about to take an action that should require a person.
Detect. Pause. Escalate. Decide. Resume.
PAUSEWIRE is designed as the control layer between autonomous execution and human attention—so the operator is brought in only when the work crosses a meaningful boundary.
