## Open questions

- Measure how agents coordinate when tasks touch the same files.
- Test recovery and session continuity across desktop and mobile.
- Inventory leads for native cross-session messaging, live context meters and internal orchestration APIs still need matching public source evidence. Claude Agent team behavior must be checked against the installed runtime version.

## Verification plan

1. Pin a product release or repository commit and record the host environment.
2. Create a disposable repository with a passing baseline test.
3. Run a bounded change with two agents where supported; record permissions and logs.
4. Record a failed attempt, actual outcome, and artifacts without secrets.
5. Have another person reproduce the result before labeling it reproduced.
