Why it matters

Useful for AI agent builders, power users, and developer teams who want their coding agents to keep running across lid-close / network drop / machine restart, for platform engineers running a 24/7 coding-agent fleet that needs pane-level visibility (working / blocked / idle) instead of opaque tmux sessions, for anyone evaluating an Apache-2.0 single-Rust-binary agent runtime instead of an

Where this stands now

Risk explanation

It uses a one-line curl-pipe installer, so verify the install script signature, pin the install path to an official release, and avoid unattended first-run on a host with production access; It is a single-Rust-binary always-on server that owns the terminals of claude code / codex / cursor / opencode / grok, so confirm the socket API auth model, audit the plugins marketplace before installing third-party panes, and scope it to an isolated box before pointing it at production data.
