Understand the agent distro, its ship and scout tasks, and the difference between terminal visibility, durable state and permission to merge.
Prepare an isolated trial, distinguish inspection commands from launching trusted hooks, and define a read-only investigation before permitting changes.
Plan a local agent operating environment rather than a web-server deployment, with separate private state, deliberate credentials and versioned updates.
Trace task state, semantic busy verdicts and generation-bound wake handling without confusing a visible terminal with a completed or recoverable task.
Follow authority resolution, six-line persistence and identity-checked consumption, including the limits of an isolated JavaScript teaching model.
Interpret zero-token watcher supervision narrowly and design a useful trial that measures accepted work, model usage and human recovery effort.
Separate workflow policy from a security sandbox, preserve explicit merge permission and understand documented race limits before unattended operation.
Select by task independence, human decision points and durable-state requirements rather than treating multi-agent execution as a universal upgrade.
Design a learning project that displays task identities, observation sources and merge receipts without turning a status view into an unauthorized control plane.
