macOS 26, on battery — replied via Claude Code from a phone.

Hot in a bag?

Warm under load; keep it on a surface, plug in if you can.

Battery?

2–5 h awake; it re-enables sleep 5 min after agents stop.

My keys / code?

Never touched; it only watches process names, power, and network.

Why a password?

Only root can override lid sleep; the rule allows two pmset commands and nothing else.
