+/**
+ * The Agents board's saved state (one place to check on running agents).
+ *
+ * Every builder run is admitted with an opaque attempt key (run.attempt_key).
+ * The stream observer (agent-turns.ts) records each turn change — busy, idle,
+ * crashed — as one append-only agent_turn row, and moves the task's current
+ * snapshot (agent_now) only when the writer is the task's newest build
+ * attempt AND presents that run's own key: a late event from an earlier or
+ * replaced attempt is kept as history and never repaints the row. A protocol
+ * repair (role 'repair') mends its parent build and never owns the row: the
+ * board shows it as the parent's own activity ("Fixing the handoff").
+ * The same stream says which tool calls are open, so a long command reads
+ * as Working (Stuck only after TOOL_STUCK_AFTER_MS) rather than as silence.
+ *
+ * The rest rides the build's existing minute pulse (agent-pulse.ts): the
+ * transcript's size, the changed-file count, the agent's own status lines
+ * (working, needs-decision, blocked, done) and the four-minute Stuck mark.
+ * A needs-decision line is an agent_question; Reply closes exactly that key
+ * and files the answer as an ordinary verified steering note, which the
+ * steering mailbox delivers to the running agent.
+ *
+ * Who has seen a finished run (agent_seen) makes Done "not viewed yet"; who
+ * is watching a run right now (agent_view, short leases kept by the open
+ * page's live stream) holds that person's Needs you and Done pings: they stay
+ * pending in their delivery ledgers and go out once the watch lapses, only
+ * if the question is still open or the run still unseen (watchedPing).
+ * Display state, never evidence: nothing here changes a run's outcome.
