Thanks! Stack is simpler than it looks. It's a local Rust server that opens in your browser, with embedded frontend (`agentbeacon` → localhost). Desktop shell is planned but not shipped yet.

On the VSCode / Cursor extension angle, I thought about it a lot. Once you're running hierarchies of agents across multiple features in parallel, the work shifts away from any single file or repo. The editor is still a surface, but it's one surface for one thread. The decision queue is a surface for the fleet. An IDE extension would make it hard to manage multiple projects at the same time. There is probably some room for a lightweight glue extension eg jump from queue entry to file or something like that.

That said, you're dead right that there's huge "for free" wins in the IDE space, which is exactly why everyone converges there, though it comes with its own constraints.

Good luck with the pre-alpha. Would be curious to see it when you ship. Thanks for taking a look.
