41/100Vigil costs $3.99 one-time and activates on two Macs with a single license key, so an agency can protect a developer's overnight Claude Code or Codex run for less than the cost of one billable minute. The strategic stake is not the sleep hold itself but the failure mode it removes: an agent that stalls when the Mac idles burns a retainer hour twice, once on the dead run and once on the rerun. Agencies that sell long-running agent work as a delivery promise need that promise to survive the laptop lid closing.
