What happened?

Instead of closing my issue as a duplicate, please tell us when you intend on fixing this issue. It just hangs randomly at multiple points throughout most tasks and sits there doing nothing for 20 minutes. It happens on any version after 0.34.0 including the latest nightly, so it's some change you made in 0.35. It's not hard, you've literally got AI, use it. It's not my project; it's your project. This isn't my job to diagnose, and I shouldn't have to find the time to modify your source code to add debugging to see what on earth it's doing.

TL;DR

The issue is likely related to a change introduced in version 0.35.0, causing the program to hang randomly, and a potential fix or workaround needs to be investigated.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be related to a specific version change, so comparing the code differences between versions 0.34.0 and 0.35.0 might help identify the cause.
  • Running the program with additional debugging or logging enabled could provide more insight into what's happening when it hangs.
  • Since the issue occurs on multiple tasks, identifying a common factor or pattern among these tasks might help narrow down the root cause.
  • The user is encouraged to provide the output of the /about command in the interactive CLI, which could offer valuable information about the environment and configuration.

Notes

The lack of detailed technical information, such as specific error messages or stack traces, makes it challenging to provide a precise fix. The guidance provided is based on the information given and aims to help the user and developers move towards identifying and resolving the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, it seems more feasible to apply a workaround, such as adding custom debugging to the source code to gather more information about the hanging issue, rather than waiting for an official fix.
