SendMessage does agent-to-agent with notify_when_idle instead of a poll, proven
tonight when one session took over the localisation hand-off from the owner. The
nudger does backend-to-session on a schedule, which is how a commander now reports
into its own conversation rather than a job panel.
Kept open deliberately: spawning a NEW session from a non-chat caller. The harness
Agent tool does not close that — it is available to a chat agent and nothing else,
which is why a commander's loop still shells out to claude -p.
Also kept: 'a spawned agent is invisible in the interface'. That is a defect in
Officer's own UI with a one-echo fix, and deleting it because an affordance now
describes coordination is exactly what docs/affordances.md warns about — an
affordance describing a defect calcifies it.

TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly
on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with
frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied
across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index).
Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's;
otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented.
date_source records which.
Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is
the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.
