I Gave My AI Agent a /proc Filesystem

1Key Takeaways

• There's a moment, building an autonomous agent, when you realize you have no idea what it's doing.
• Not in the philosophical sense — in the boring, operational sense.
• It's running a background job, three chat turns, and a memory-consolidation pass, all at once, and when you want to know which task is stuck , you're grepping a log file and correlating timestamps by hand.
• The agent has a rich internal life — a task table, an event bus, a plugin registry — and none of it is reachable.
