agent_health_strictness

Scope: project • Default: standard

Controls how quickly the orchestrator considers an agent "stuck" and intervenes.

Positions

Position	Stall threshold	Good for
lax	5 minutes without output	Slow local models, heavy reasoning.
standard	2 minutes	Typical hosted models on typical work.
strict	30 seconds	Fast models; you want fast failure and restart.

What "intervention" means

When an agent stalls past the threshold, the orchestrator consults crash_recovery_default to decide whether to resume, restart clean, or pause for review.
