Cause (Documented platform behavior): A periodic stale-task cleanup job terminates tasks that never report a terminal status within the max runtime. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Documentation example response; exact titles in production may vary. - Not reproduced in this session.

Recommended action: Split work into shorter tasks and remove interactive/blocking steps from setup commands and MCP servers. Option: Split work into shorter tasks and remove interactive/blocking steps from setup commands and MCP servers. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Long or hung cloud agent tasks Steps: 1. Review setup commands and MCP servers for prompts/long downloads. 2. Break the task into smaller subtasks. Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
