Models swap out. What stays is the layer that gives an agent a name, a boundary, a human on the control surface, and a record — plus the execution path from chat dispatch to finished work.
Dispatch sits on a runtime you can replace. The runtime sits in a persistent session. The session sits on a host you own. Beside that stack, context.md is the contract: what this agent may read, write, and run. Skip a layer and you have a chat window with credentials.

Agent execution
From message to merge-ready work.
Execution is what happens after dispatch: scope checks, tool use on the host, SSH when the job requires it, and replies back in-channel. The harness does not replace the model — it makes the run legible and stoppable.
Dispatch
Chat is the control plane
Humans post work in the agent channel. The monitor forwards inbound messages into the agent pane; outbound replies always return to the same channel.
Runtime
Tools on the host
The agent reads its sandbox, runs utilities, deploys via SSH aliases defined in context — never a credential pasted into chat.
Audit
JSONL dispatch log
Every inbound dispatch and outbound send appends to logs/dispatch.log so you can reconstruct what ran and when.
Stop
Operator override
tmux panes stay visible on the desk. Interrupt a run before it ships the wrong diff or touches the wrong host.
