Cursor simplifies an audio pipeline into a one-shot sandbox
Dodds delegated an audio pipeline migration to Cursor. He rejected an initial design that preserved a separate service and used another agent run to make the sandbox part of the existing queue Worker.

Suggested prompt
Suggested prompt written by Agents In Use, not the source author. Replace bracketed inputs and review tool permissions first.
Review [batch pipeline] and replace unnecessary service lifecycle coordination with a bounded job runner. Keep credentials in the orchestrator and use short-lived artifact URLs. Check success, failure, retries and cleanup. Provide a migration diff and rollback plan; stop before deployment.
