Researchers identify a micro-wait problem in agentic systems: runs last minutes, too long to watch yet too short to leave. They introduce Sidecar, a parallel assistant that reads the agent's run and surfaces implicit decisions, tested in a within-subjects study with 16 users.

Names a specific UX gap in long-running agents and offers a tested design pattern. Directly applicable to anyone building or choosing agent interfaces.
