Improved Sleep/Blocking Guidance

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.108
EntryKind: in v2.1.108,
ChangesSection of the release

The guidance for sleep commands and blocking behavior has been substantially rewritten to emphasize Monitor as the preferred alternative.

Details
  • Old: sleep N as first command with N ≥ 2 is blocked with brief explanation
  • New: "Long leading sleep commands are blocked. To poll until a condition is met, use Monitor with an until-loop (e.g. until <check>; do sleep 2; done)"
  • Additional guidance: "Do not chain shorter sleeps to work around the block"
  • General sleep advice simplified from "keep the duration short (1-5 seconds)" to "keep the duration short"
Evidence

Blocking guidance improvements (search for "Long leading" and "until-loop")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
