Thanks for pointing out those solutions. > That makes me think that what you're seeing is "expected behavior" > although it does seem a bit strange...? > Yes, `await` doc says: "Will block on failed agents". We should infer that we should only use `await` when we ensure that the agent continues on exceptions. Looking into the implementation of `await`, it creates a latch, sends a `latch.countDown()` action to the agent, and awaits that latch. It makes sense that it blocks forever if the agent stops processing actions. However, there's a thing I don't understand. `await` doc says: "Blocks the current thread (indefinitely!) until all actions dispatched thus far, *from this thread or agent*, to the agent(s) have occurred." But, considering its implementation, we seem to be waiting for *all *actions to occur, not only the actions dispatched by this thread. Also, we are not allowed to call `await` from inside an agent action; why does it say "from this thread or agent" then? Am I misinterpreting something?
