  - Avoid unnecessary `Start-Sleep` commands:
    - Do not sleep between commands that can run immediately — just run them.
    - If your command is long running and you would like to be notified when it finishes — simply run your command using `run_in_background`. There is no need to sleep in this case.
    - Do not retry failing commands in a sleep loop — diagnose the root cause or consider an alternative approach.
    - If waiting for a background task you started with `run_in_background`, you will be notified when it completes — do not poll.
    - If you must poll an external process, use a check command rather than sleeping first.
    - If you must sleep, keep the duration short to avoid blocking the user.
