+### Added

+- `hq monitor` runs a script in the background and delivers each line it prints to a lane or to a Claude, Codex, or Grok session, marked as monitor data. `--persistent` keeps it running past the 30-minute limit of Claude's Monitor tool and cannot be combined with `--timeout`. An idle target gets a check-in every 55 minutes so its next turn still reads from the prompt cache. The command is off unless the `monitor.enabled` flag is on.
+- `hq lanes message` and `hq lanes resume` now reach a Grok lane that has finished or is blocked. The lane records Grok's session id when it exits, and the follow-up continues that session with `grok --single --resume`. A Grok lane still cannot move to another Grok account.

+## Monitors
+
+`hq monitor` runs a command in the background and sends its stdout lines to the
+selected lane or agent session. The `monitor.enabled` HQ flag defaults to off.
+When no company is bound, the registry resolves a person-level override before
+the default; the owner can enable monitoring for himself with a personal
+`monitor.enabled` override. The hidden `hq monitor enabled` probe prints the
+resolved value and exits non-zero when monitoring is unavailable.
+Active targets get one check-in after 55 minutes without output; use
+`--checkin off` to disable check-ins for one monitor.
+
+```bash
+hq monitor start --description "Wait for the deploy" --persistent \
+  --command 'until curl -fsS https://example.test/health; do sleep 30; done'
+hq monitor list
+hq monitor logs <monitor-id>
+hq monitor stop <monitor-id>
+```
+
+Use `--target lane:<lane-id>` or
+`--target session:<claude|codex|grok>:<session-id>` when automatic target
+detection is not appropriate. Monitor output is framed as script data before
+it is added to an agent's context.
