Caffeinate stays on until you stop it.

Vigil subscribes to agent harness hooks to know when the agents are working, when they are waiting, when they are done. It keeps your mac from sleeping until all agents are done or blocked waiting.

Vigil shows you summaries of what all agents are doing, even subagents. Click on the summary in the top bar, get taken to the terminal where that agent is working.
