Describe the Bug
For the last two days my background agents after maybe 2 or 3 iterations receive the following error messages:
“tooling is temporarily blocking file edits”
“I’m still blocked by a temporary workspace tooling issue that prevents reading/editing files. As soon as it’s resolved, I’ll implement:”
If I try to open the branch locally or do a PR, I just get an internal error like this: “Failed to create pull request: [internal] Error”
If I open a new background agent it connects just fine, but I have to start all over from scratch.
Or if I open the very first branch it created I then have to re-create all of the steps once again. But now I’m missing all of the changes that it had made and hope it will redesign what it did on the files I can’t check out locally.
Steps to Reproduce
Just use background agents, and after 2 or 3 prompts they are no longer able to push to github.
If I try to check out locally
Expected Behavior
Commit and push changes to Github.
