And you imagine, oh, okay, this agent needs me to review something.
I'll pull that down, move my other agents to the background, go test it.
Okay, boom, done.

You have some issue you got to fix in the background, just click, like, approve.
Okay, start a background agent to go fix it.
I'd love a world where I'd have to leave this window.
You know, then maybe the other window I got to figure out how to stop spending so much time in is Slack.
But maybe, you know, someday we'll want to get those two as well.
So the funny thing here is that the behavior between local agents and cloud agents, I think that is actually a bit different in their ideal state.
I think local agents, you want them to be a bit more fast and let the user make the call on things.
Actually, don't try to autonomously go test things.
The background agent mode, where you go start it off, I think the agent should just assume the next message I send the user should just have everything that the user needs from me.
And, you know, not run and stop.
Keep running and don't stop until you have the testing.

For many reasons, because of all the work we do to make sure that Devon works with different Git providers, that it works with different OSs and VMs, we want as much of that logic to be shared as possible.
So for our own practical purposes, we try to share as much of it as possible.
