How does it sleep when the agent is done working with the hot corner?

Have the agent write an app that moves the cursor our of the hot corner and trigger it when done.

this feels like https://xkcd.com/1172/ waiting to happen

Then why do they have fans?

Many ARM Macbooks do not have fans?

Many do. I would argue most do, although i don't have air vs. Pro sales numbers so I can't speak definitively there.

Even those that don't may rely on passive cooling strategies that are less effective in enclosed spaces.

I have been using the builtin macOS `caffeinate` command for this. For example: caffeinate -dimsu That keeps the Mac awake so I can use Claude remotely from phone. You can also wrap your command as well, but I rarely use it. caffeinate -dimsu your-agent-command

Caffeinate is burned into my muscle memory at this point. I attribute that to the realization that you could repeat opt flags. There's something catchy about caffeinate -dimsum

Yum, dim sums with caffeine! I didn’t know you could repeat flags, I’m gonna steal the idea for some of my own scripts.
