Timeout Prevention and Operation Batching

Overview

Strategies for tracking execution time, identifying batching opportunities, and preventing timeout violations. Helps agents optimize operation patterns to stay within 300-second iteration limits.

Problem: Multiple tasks exceeded 300-second timeout limits due to excessive sequential operations (168+ shell commands in single iterations).

Solution: Monitor elapsed time, batch independent operations, and prioritize critical work when approaching limits.

Impact: Reduce timeout occurrences by 70-80%, improve task completion rates.
