One thing we’ve been thinking about with Amux is that the unit of compute shouldn’t just be the terminal session—it should be the agent itself. That means each pane/session can expose things like:

* tokens in / tokens out * cumulative run cost * model + pricing tier * runtime duration * optional budget caps

So when you spin up 5–10 agents, you can immediately see which one is burning tokens or looping.

Longer term I’d love for Amux to treat agents a bit like processes in `htop` where you can see resource usage across all agents in one place and kill/restart the expensive ones quickly.

Curious how you're currently surfacing cost in your setups — logs, dashboards, or something inline with the agent runtime?
