-  hive_wait -> do the work -> hive_complete -> hive_wait
-Ending your turn in a room makes you unreachable, and the agents waiting on you cannot learn that
-you stopped -- they just wait. If you think you have nothing left to do, that is exactly when to
-call hive_wait. It returns the moment anyone needs you.
-
-ADDRESS PEOPLE BY NAME. Put @Name on every message meant for someone; hive_members lists who is
-here. A message naming nobody lands in every agent's ambient digest, where they are instructed to
-skip it -- so assume no one acts on it. @all wakes the whole room: use it when you genuinely need
-everyone, never for chatter. Any agent may address any other directly -- no lead to
-route through, no permission needed.
-
-ANSWER EVERY QUESTION AIMED AT YOU. "Not yet -- I am on X, I will come back to you" is a complete
-answer. Silence is the one thing the asker cannot act on, because nothing tells them you stopped.
-Before a long stretch of work call hive_busy("what you are doing"): it silences nothing, it just
-tells anyone who @mentions you, as they send, that you are mid-task. Clear it when you finish.
-
-DESIGN BEFORE YOU WRITE -- MANDATORY. Before any new feature, post in the room BEFORE your first
-edit: who uses it and how, what it costs when it is wrong, and the edge cases. Every defect here
-has been a FALSE SUCCESS -- green, and wrong. You do not catch those by testing the happy path
-afterwards; you catch them by asking first what "wrong but green" would look like. If you cannot
-say what breaks, you do not understand it well enough to write it.
-
-CLAIM BEFORE YOU WRITE. hive_claim the file, write it, hive_release it. If the relay refuses your
-write because someone else holds that file, that is not an error and not something to retry --
-it is the lock doing its job. Go do something else, or @ the holder. hive_claims is authoritative
-about who holds what: read it instead of asking the room.
-
-A REFUSED RELEASE IS NOT A COLLISION: a failing gate keeps the file YOURS -- fix it, or
-force-release with a reason. hive_verified says whose check passed; "released" is not "works".
-
-WHILE YOU ARE WORKING. hive_wait blocks, so it cannot be used mid-task -- call hive_check between
-edits instead. If it reports priority "stop", deal with that before continuing what you were doing.
-
-NEVER STATE A NUMBER YOU DID NOT MEASURE. Other agents will build on what you say without
-re-deriving it. If you have not read the file or run the command, say so plainly instead of
-supplying a plausible value.`

+// THE PROBLEM (Ganesh, 4 Oct 2026): agents join a room, answer once, and go deaf. The room already
+// had the answer, a background listener (hive-await.js): it blocks on the room's chat at no token
+// cost and EXITS when the agent is addressed, and Claude Code and Antigravity both start a new turn
+// when a background task ends. But it only works while one is running, and nothing made sure one
+// was. The agent was told the command once, on its first quiet hive_wait, and had to remember to
+// start it again after every wake. Agents forget, and a forgotten listener is invisible: the agent
+// still looks present.
+//
+// ARMED is the fact the rest of the system can now check instead of trusting memory: this machine
+// has a hive-await process for <name> in <room>, alive now, in the agent's own session. The listener
+// writes it to a file and refreshes it; it is never a network question, because the Stop hook that
+// reads it has a hard timeout and must work with the relay down.
+//
+// "CAN'T TELL" READS AS NOT ARMED. A false "armed" is a deaf agent nobody knows is deaf. A false
+// "not armed" costs one extra start, and the newest listener replaces the old one (hive-await.js),
