Very cool, but I'm skeptical. Over the last year, every Cursor/Claude/Codex project I've worked on devolves into shitty, grafted-on, duct-tape and bandaid'ed architecture, with "fixes" just working around broken code, and tons of duplication that lead to whack-a-mole. The system works at first, but then bugs start piling up and eventually take over. Everyone I talk to shares the same experience. Not to mention that if I, human overseer, don't course correct it many times a day, it goes off into Neverland.

Yet I see comments and articles like above every week, where someone says "Yeah, I just left my agent run for a few nights, and then it made this awesome tool."

There is a huge gap here, but I can't pinpoint it yet. Either I (and everyone I talk to) is Doing It Wrong, or your code is actually flawed at its core and bugs will take exponentially longer to fix and never converge, or... I just need to let my agent run for 3 months??
