- **Sessions.** A lead session is an `agent_sessions` row with `owner` set to the user's login, `role` `lead` and no `task_id`. Its events carry `owner` and no project or task. It runs in `leads/<login>` with `leadGuidance` (passed and re-attached the same way as a task agent's guidance) and the lead tools instead of the task tools. It has no Stop-hook bounce, no snapshots, no end-of-turn commit and no inbox report; a turn that ends in error records the error on its `session.state` event, which the pane shows as a note. Its turns don't count against the caps.
|
||||
- **Messages.** `POST /api/me/lead/messages` sends the caller's message to their lead, starting a lead session when there is none. While the lead is mid-turn the message is held in `lead_inputs` and becomes its next turn; the composer stays enabled. `GET /api/me/lead/sessions` lists the caller's lead sessions; interrupt and compact use the usual session endpoints.
|
||||
- **Signals.** Every published event goes through `Manager.Observe`. These become signals in `lead_inputs` for every user who has a lead session: `inbox.created` (a question with its choices and recommendation, a report's text cut to 1500 characters, an error or rate limit), `inbox.updated` when a human answered a question or error, `task.merged` and `task.discarded`. The human switching the right pane is not a signal. A signal caused by the lead itself (actor `<login> (lead)`) is skipped, as is the update from an answer it gave. Whenever the lead is idle, byre sends the oldest held message from the human as its own turn, or else every held signal as one `byre` message headed "Signals since your last turn (n)". Its guidance tells it not to respond to the human's own actions, and to make its final message exactly `NO_REPLY` when a batch needs nothing from it. A transcript (`quietReply` in `web/src/task.ts`) never draws an `agent.message` that is exactly `NO_REPLY`, hides the live partial message while its text is still a prefix of it, and when that turn ends folds it into one collapsed row, "byre <the turn's first line> · nothing to say", that expands to the signals and anything the lead did.

The human switching the right pane is not a signal. A signal caused by the lead itself (actor `<login> (lead)`) is skipped, as is the update from an answer it gave. A task's `task.created` event carries the actor that created it, separately from its `created_by` login: tasks the lead creates with `create_task` or `start_todo` keep the human's login as `created_by` but have actor `<login> (lead)`. Whenever the lead is idle, byre sends the oldest held message from the human as its own turn, or else every held signal as one `byre` message headed "Signals since your last turn (n)". Its guidance tells it not to respond to the human's own actions, and to make its final message exactly `NO_REPLY` when a batch needs nothing from it.

- **Tools.** `list_tasks`, `read_transcript` (a task's events in brief, the last `limit` or those after `after_seq`), `read_inbox`, `answer_question` (an `option`, `other` or `dismiss` response recorded as the user, through the same checks as `POST /api/inbox/responses`), `send_message` (starts the task's agent if it has none; refused while it is mid-turn), `create_task`, `start_todo`, `interrupt`, `compact_task`, `merge_task`, `discard_task`, `show` and `compact_self`. The lead also has Claude Code's own tools and reads worktrees by path. Messages it sends task agents have actor `<login> (lead)`, so they don't make the user a participant; tasks, merges, discards and answers are done as the user. Its guidance says to answer a question only when the answer is clear or the human gave it, and to merge or discard only when the human asks.

- **Focus.** `users.focus` holds what the user's right pane shows: `project_id`, `task_id`, `tabs` (the tabs put first, in order) and `tab` (the selected one). With a `task_id`, `project_id` is always that task's project, filled in by the server; with only a `project_id`, the pane shows that project with no task, which only the Todo tab has anything for. `GET /api/me/focus` reads it; `PUT /api/me/focus` and the lead's `show` set it, refusing an unknown tab, a task that isn't active or an unknown project, and record a `focus.updated` event owned by the user. The page applies the focus on load and on every `focus.updated` it didn't cause itself; the human's own changes (⌘K, the navbar crumb, clicking a tab, a task link, a notification) are sent with `PUT /api/me/focus`. The URL follows the focus: `#/task/<id>`, `#/project/<id>`, or `#/` for neither.
|
||||
- **Pane lock.** While the human is working in the right pane, the lead's `show` is refused with an error telling it to say in chat what it would have shown. The page sends `PUT /api/me/pane-focus` with `focused` whenever that changes: true while the browser window has focus and the focused element is inside the right pane. The pane itself is focusable (`tabIndex` -1), so a click anywhere in it counts, not only on inputs and buttons; a re-render that removes the focused element hands focus back to the pane rather than counting as leaving. The page sends false on `pagehide` (with `keepalive`) and resends true when its event stream reconnects. byre keeps the flag in memory per user (`Manager.paneFocused`), so it starts false after a restart until the page resends it.
