Agent Run Lifecycle overview
Agent Run Lifecycle as a cross-cutting topic - the phases an agent run progresses through from creation to completion. Covers the state machine: created, iterating (replaying resolved effects and advancing), waiting (blocked on a breakpoint or sleep effect), completed, and failed. Includes session binding between orchestrator and sub-agent, journal tracking via append-only event logs (RUN_CREATED, EFFECT_REQUESTED, EFFECT_RESOLVED, RUN_COMPLETED, RUN_FAILED), run lock acquisition, and deterministic replay from journal state. Central to the Babysitter SDK runtime model.
