Subject: [PATCH] Enhanced automation error handling and monitoring

- Add comprehensive error tracking with consecutive error counts
- Implement automatic shutdown after 3 consecutive failures
- Reset error counter on successful cycles
- Add detailed error logging with stack traces
- Improve automation reliability and debugging capability

This should prevent silent automation failures and provide better visibility into why automation stops
