Sometimes Auto-run just stops for no reason. After a while it stars again. all in the same context window. Any have ideas how to get around this. you can see in the image its set to Auto-run yet its asking for me to Run command. Maybe I’m missing something.

again it works and then stops , then works then stops.

I use to have specific commands in place before but realized the prompted worked well.

It is a known issue with Yolo prompt. I have reported it.

You can try without prompt and will notice smooth auto run

Thanks for the tip, i was already wondering why its not working at all

How about commands that may sometimes need parameters appended?

like `command step1` that sometimes needs `command step1 --option=value` but not always?
