HyBran agent keeps stopping mid-task even with background mode enabled

Been trying to use my HyBran for a long-running data cleanup project. I explicitly told the agent to process a batch of files and not to ask for confirmation at every step. It acknowledged, started working, then just... stopped after the third file.

When I checked back an hour later and asked if it was done, it said "Sorry, I paused and didn't continue. Let me resume now." This keeps happening even though I have background execution enabled in settings.

Is this a known limitation with local AI processing? I assumed HyBran's on-device NPU would handle sustained workloads better than cloud-based agents that timeout. Anyone found a reliable way to keep agents running through multi-step tasks without babysitting them?

My current workaround is breaking tasks into tiny chunks, but that defeats the purpose of automation.
