Thanks for the bug report. Can you provide more details? In particular, what platform are you using? And is this a special or unusual execution environment? The error you hit occurs when the
/tmpdirectory is either not present or cannot be accessed due to permissions limitations. This is very atypical.Hey @etraut-openai, I am using it on a MacBook M4, and I frequently see it when I am using subagents heavily. It happens in long sessions with subagents.
