Task 3 is in: RepoIconResolver now reports where each icon came from, and the sidebar reads the repository file before falling back to the generated badge.

OTHERsubagentSpec review for Task 3: APPROVED0s
Spec review approved Task 3. Starting Task 4: cache the resolved icon per repository so sidebar renders stop touching the disk.
OTHERsubagentDispatch implementer for Task 40s
⋯ Thinking…
Got it — plan updated: once I'm satisfied (all tasks + reviews + my own verification), I'll push nacho/local-config, open a PR, and shepherd it with the repo-scoped lassie skill until CI is green and Codex gives a thumbs-up in the PR comments.
Task 4's spec/quality reviewers are still running; when they land I'll verify the suites myself, then continue with Tasks 5–12 (trust fields, MCP merge, planner integration, banner, agent resolution, caption, docs), and then open the PR.

⋯ Thinking…
Full verdict: QUALITY: CHANGES_REQUIRED — the P1 is real and well-diagnosed: the cache is consulted after resolve(...), so every sidebar render still reads + SHA-256s the icon. The cache as wired saves nothing. Fixing now, resuming the same implementer.
OTHERsubagentRun fan-out: 0/64 used, 64 remaining0s
Fixed. The cache now runs before resolution, so a hit never touches the disk:
Cache hits now do zero reads or hashes. Re-running the quality reviewer on 501efa87.

AGENTS01
Hand the work to an agent.
Any ACP agent runs in a chat pane beside the code it is changing, in the same window as the terminal, the editor, and the review.
- Pick the model, thinking level, and permission mode per session.
- Review plans in dedicated cards and fork a session from an earlier turn.
- Live badges show which agents need your attention.
- Install any agent from the official ACP Registry alongside the built-ins.
TERMINAL02
Run a real terminal beside everything else.
Terminal tabs are built on libghostty, so the TUIs you already live in render exactly as they should. Agent sessions, editors, and previews open as tabs in the same pane.
- Tabs, sessions, and scroll positions stay with the worktree and survive reconnects.
- SSH projects open like local ones, with agents running on the remote host.
- Approval prompts and completion notifications reach you, even on your phone.
UNDERSTAND03
Understand before you change.
Read code beside its rendered output, then make the next change.
- Tree-sitter and LSP make the editor useful, not ornamental.
- Markdown, Mermaid, and file actions live beside the code.
- Visual, binary, and LFS changes stay reviewable in context.
REVIEW04
Review without the round-trip.
Turn feedback into the next agent action while the evidence is still attached to the code.
- Review local work or hosted pull requests side by side.
- Comment anywhere, then let an agent reply and resolve.
- Keep CI, test evidence, and revisions continuous through rebases.
SHIP05
Ship with your agent.
One click and the agent writes the PR, opens it, and follows it through CI and review.
- Failed checks, review threads, and conflicts come back as fix turns.
- Publish a whole
git-gudstack, or hold back the top and ship it later. - Stage hunks and draft commits yourself when you'd rather drive.

ANYWHERE06
Pick up from any Mac you own.
Alas instances on your network find each other and pair. Your other Macs' worktrees and agents show up in the sidebar, natively, with no SSH and no Remote Login.
- Bonjour discovery, pairing approved inside Alas, peers bound to verified keys.
- Start a worktree and a session on a peer, picking agent, model, and effort.
- Follow transcripts live, take over with one writer at a time, and drive a peer's consoles under an explicit lease.
- Keep agents running on an always-on Mac with
alas-host. Set it up over SSH, then review, edit, and commit there from any paired Mac.

The takeover banner now appears only when another Mac actually holds the session. Tests pass, so I'm pushing the branch.

MACHINES07
Give the agent its own machine.
Agents can operate Mac apps in the background, with a cursor you can watch, or work in a worktree's own VM, away from your desktop.
- Turn on computer use in Settings and approve apps one by one.
- macOS and Linux VMs per worktree, on Apple Silicon.
- Idle macOS VMs pause and resume where they left off. Reset to a clean point in seconds, or take over and hand back.

The workspace gets out of your way.
EVERYTHING AROUND THE LOOP
Design it visually
Agents show sandboxed HTML mockups inline in the transcript and ask you to pick from a native card.
On-device AI
Apple Intelligence or a local Qwen model names worktrees, summarizes sessions, drafts commits and PR summaries, explains conflicts, and recaps where you left off, without leaving the Mac.
Orchestrate agents
Agents delegate to child sessions on other agents and models, then wait on, read, and interrupt them over CLI or MCP.
Schedules
Run scripts or agents by interval or time of day, optionally in a fresh worktree, with run history and reports.
Workspaces & checkpoints
Multi-repo Workspaces, plus a checkpoint before every prompt that you can restore from the transcript.
Work anywhere
The phone hub gathers every paired Mac, optionally over HTTPS with Tailscale. Take over any session from your phone, and approve prompts from wherever you are.
Inbox
One inbox for agents waiting on you, plugin updates, and worktrees ready to clean up.
Bring the whole agent loop into one window.
Open a project, hand off work, review it, and ship from the same window.
