Resume from review
Replying to a paused agent and continuing its session
Resume from review
When a coding agent needs a decision - a design choice, a missing detail, or a finished PR awaiting your sign-off - it pauses in the review state instead of guessing. You reply, and it picks up exactly where it left off.
The flow
- The task enters
review(often with a PR already open). - Open the task detail page and read the agent's full terminal history to see what it did and what it is asking.
- Optionally type a reply in the input field - your text is sent straight into the agent's live terminal.
- Click Resume. The agent continues from the exact point it stopped, in the same VM, with its workspace intact.
Resume reuses the task's session storage, so the cloned repo, installed packages, and build state are all still there - the agent does not start over.
If the container was reaped
VMs are reclaimed after a period of inactivity. If you resume a task whose container has been reaped, Foxl Code automatically falls back to a retry against the same session storage. Because the workspace lives on session storage (not just in the container's memory), git state and installed packages are preserved and the agent continues rather than starting from scratch.
Steering without pausing
You don't have to wait for a review pause to interact. While an agent is running, the orchestrator (and the autonomous loop) can read its screen, send input, and resize its terminal - see How it works. Review is simply the agent explicitly handing control back to you.
