Keep multiple parallel livespec tracks moving via a TWO-PANE model: a deterministic top-pane daemon (overseerd) that watches every tracked tmux session's context %, injects an ESCALATING wrap-up at threshold, and atomically restarts a session ONLY once that session declares itself ready (exit + claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -n + re-kick from plan/ /handoff.md) — THE CARDINAL RULE: the daemon NEVER restarts a session that has not declared itself ready, because only the session knows whether it is safe to kill; one that declares nothing is REPORTED as not responding and left alone — and this THIN bottom pane, the interactive Claude overseer, which starts the daemon, manages the discovery-driven auto-managed track list via a JSONL topic↔tmux mapping (add/remove/unassign/start), and RELAYS the tracks the daemon reports as non-blocking text naming the tmux session + pane to go to. NOTIFY, NEVER BLOCK: a question may only be asked by the actor that OWNS the decision, so the overseer never raises a blocking prompt for a TRACK's decision (answer that in the track's own pane); it prompts only for decisions it owns (add/remove/unassign/start, threshold). The list is discovered from each watched repo's plan/ dir; declaration is OUT-OF-BAND on the filesystem — ONE .overseer-state file valued ready / blocked: / winding-down — never pane text. The daemon never auto-spawns a session for an UNASSIGNED plan (first launch is deliberate) and never force-kills any session. The overseer does NO track work, never polls tracked sessions on a timer, never hand-codes. LOCAL-ONLY to this repo and usable only from it — a PERMANENT, human-supervised ALTERNATE to autonomous mode (not a stopgap): not part of the plugin, spec, template, or fleet, and not synced.
