Amp rebuild hits scaling snags

This reads like a real platform reset, not a cosmetic refresh: Amp is betting that agentic coding now needs longer-running threads, remote oversight, and plugin extensibility built into the core. The rollback message is the tell that the architecture change is ambitious enough to break production assumptions.

• –Auto-compaction and remote control are the right primitives for modern coding agents, especially as contexts and tasks get longer
• –The plugin API turns Amp into a platform, but it also raises the bar on stability and compatibility during rollout
• –Asking users to revert to the old experience suggests the new architecture is ahead of its operational maturity
• –The update reinforces Amp's positioning against Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot as a more opinionated terminal-first agent
• –If they smooth out the scaling issues, this could be a meaningful step toward persistent, multi-thread agent workflows
