-is the normal mode whenever a task may create, edit, move, organize, remove, undo, generate, import,

+Default to a daemon-backed Agent Collaboration Session for Canvas authoring. A one-write plan still
+uses a Session. This is the normal mode whenever a task may create, edit, move, organize, remove,
+undo, generate, import, or upload Canvas content. One private local daemon retains the authenticated

+calls:
 
 ```bash
-az8 canvas open <project-id> --write --format ndjson
+az8 session open <project-id> --environment test
+az8 session current
+az8 session status

 Use `--client-name <suffix>` only when a more specific CLI presence label helps collaborators. The
 CLI owns the surrounding parentheses, rejects parentheses in the supplied suffix, and always keeps
 the authenticated user display name first.
 
-1. Continuously drain stdout; it is an ordered NDJSON protocol stream and may apply backpressure.
-2. Read `hello`, select protocol `1.0`, then send `initialize` for the same Project ID.
-3. Wait for `ready` before any query or Operation.
-4. Keep exactly one reader for stdout. Parse each frame by `type`, `requestId`, and `streamSeq`.
-5. Use `compact` observations by default. Query `awareness.detail` when cursor context is needed;
-   cursor coordinates are intentionally not streamed.
-6. On an observation gap, query summary/detail and rebuild the local view.
-7. Send `shutdown` and wait for ordered completion. EOF or a signal is emergency cleanup, not a
-   cancellation or rollback mechanism.
+Session resolution is explicit and discoverable. A command-level `--session <id>` wins, then
+`AZ8_SESSION_ID`, then the current Session for the local context. Use `AZ8_CONTEXT` to separate
+parallel Agents intentionally sharing one working directory. `session list`, `current`, `status`,
+and `use` must be used whenever the binding is uncertain; never guess a Session or Project.
+
+Configure named semantic Interests once, then use the singular blocking Watch instead of polling:
+
+```bash
+az8 session interests patch --input-json '{"upsert":[{"key":"canvas-ambient","patch":{"kind":"canvas"}},{"key":"workflow-terminal","patch":{"kind":"workflow"}}]}'
+az8 session watch --timeout-ms 30000
+```
+
+- Canvas Interests exclude the Session's own changes unless `includeOwn: true` is explicit.
+- Workflow Interests are terminal-only unless progress status is explicitly requested.
+- `idle` ends one observation window normally. It does not indicate a failed connection or Run.
+- `resync-required` means bounded continuity was lost. Query authoritative summary/detail, then run
+  `az8 session resynchronize`; never pretend the missing interval was observed.
+- Exactly one consumer may wait on a Session. The daemon does not wake or restart an Agent that has
+  exited; it only completes an active `session watch` call.
+- Watch acknowledgement is internal. If stdout delivery is interrupted before confirmation, the
+  same result may repeat. Treat repeat delivery as at-least-once readiness, not a new business fact.
+- Queries wait behind an executing write. Watch collection remains independent of the write lane.
+
+For a bounded human–Agent latency check, report readiness first, start
+`az8 session watch --timeout-ms 60000`, and ask the human to make one recognizable Web Canvas change
+only after the wait is active. Acknowledge the returned semantic change immediately, then wait again
+for the next trial. `result.timing.waitedMs` measures the blocking window and each change's
+`quietForMs` measures local observation-to-delivery delay; neither includes speech recognition or
+Agent-host scheduling. Do not infer an end-to-end latency number from either field alone.
+
+Execute reads and writes through the selected Session:
+
+```bash
+az8 session query canvas.detail --view-node-id <view-node-id>
+az8 session operation createNote --request-id <unique-id> \
+  --input-json '{"name":"Plan","content":"...","position":{"x":80,"y":80}}'
+az8 session query receipt.detail --receipt-request-id <unique-id>
+```
+
+Every Session Operation returns one terminal Receipt. Keep writes sequential and stop after the
+first failed or indeterminate Receipt. Close the Session explicitly when collaboration is complete:
+
+```bash
+az8 session close
+```
