Interesting, I just had opus convert a 35k loc java game to c++ overnight (root agent that orchestrated and delegated to sub agents) and woke up and it's done and works.

What plan are you on? I'm starting to wonder if they're dynamically adjusting reasoning based on plan or something.

I'm on max 5x and noticed this too. I don't use built-in subagents but rather full Claude session that orchestrates other full claude sessions. Worker agents that receive tasks now stop midway, they ask for permission to continue. My "heartbeat" is basically "status. One line" message sent to the orchestrator.

Opus 4.6 worker agents never asked for permission to continue, and when heartbeat was sent to orchestrator, it just knew what to do (checked on subagents etc). Now it just says that it waits for me to confirm something.

Weird. I don't have this behavior, although I did with codex and 5.4 haha. I bet the providers are playing with settings underneath and different users are routed to different deployments, or they're secretly routing us to different models under load.

This has to be bait.

Why?

[winrid]

what?

Because there’s no way in hell it can rewrite a game with 35k loc perfectly lol, link the codebase or it didn’t happen.

I'll be launching the game in a couple months so you can see it then :)

There are bugs, it doesn't work perfectly, but that's just part of testing and refinement at this point.

My initial prompt was just: "let's work on converting this java game to c++ using panda3d. you're a panda3d c++ expert. you will be the agent that owns the project, creating the plan, and the delegating each step to sub-agents that create each system in the correct order."

it created like 17 different tasks and sub agents and opus 4.7 orchestrated it. I did personally validate which rendering engine would be good for the project etc first.
