backend) - Add agent_status_message and agent_status_updated_at columns to agent_metadata table - Add agent_status to BeadEventType enum - Add updateAgentStatusMessage() DB helper and RPC method in Town.do.ts - Emit agent_status bead event on the hooked bead when status is updated - Add POST /agents/:agentId/status HTTP route and handler - Add updateAgentStatusMessage() to GastownClient - Add gt_status tool to polecat plugin tools - Expose new fields in Agent type and AgentOutput Zod schema - Add gt_status guidance section to polecat system prompt Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
…o frontend - Add broadcastAgentStatus() to TownDO; call it in updateAgentStatusMessage() so connected dashboard clients receive a lightweight agent_status event immediately on every gt_status call - Handle agent_status in useAlarmStatusWs (TerminalBar); dispatch to callback rather than overwriting the alarm snapshot; invalidate listAgents queries in AlarmStatusPane so agent cards refresh without waiting for the 5s poll - Add agent_status to ActivityFeed EVENT_ICONS/EVENT_COLORS (MessageSquare, muted) and eventDescription() so the event renders in feed and bead timeline Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
- AgentCard: render speech-bubble below card when agent is working and has a status message; fades in/out with motion/react; greyed if stale (>10 min); truncates at 80 chars; shows relative timestamp - AgentPanel drawer: add current status row below status badge with full message text and relative timestamp - ActivityFeed: include agent name in agent_status event description (e.g. "Dusk: Running tests"); town feed agent_status clicks open the agent drawer instead of event drawer - AgentsPageClient: status bubble on each agent card in the agents grid - TownOverviewPageClient: status bubble on recent agents rows; agent_status feed events routed to agent detail drawer - router.d.ts: add agent_status_message and agent_status_updated_at to listAgents output type Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
…on rehook Address two review comments: 1. Resolve agent rig from agentsByRig map instead of relying on unpopulated rig_id field on bead_events rows, so clicking agent_status feed items opens the agent drawer. 2. Clear agent_status_message and agent_status_updated_at in hookBead() when an agent is recycled for a new bead, preventing stale status bubbles from the previous task. Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
Store agent_name, rig_id, and rig_name in the bead event metadata when logging agent_status events. The activity feed now displays these as '[RigName] AgentName: status message' instead of just the raw message. Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
…rmat branch - Add migrateAgentMetadata() with ALTER TABLE statements for agent_status_message and agent_status_updated_at columns, wired into initBeadTables() so existing towns get the columns on next DO activation. - Add agent_status case to formatEventMessage() in the alarm status pane so status updates render as 'agent <id>: <message>' instead of the generic fallback. - Fix Prettier formatting in 5 frontend files. Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>
…ypes The generated router.d.ts was only partially updated — listAgents had the new fields but getRig.agents and sling.agent still omitted them, causing stale agent shapes for consumers derived from GastownOutputs.

- Add .trim().max(280) to UpdateAgentStatusMessageBody so runaway agents can't bloat storage or WebSocket payloads with oversized status updates. - Fix double-encoded UTF-8 section divider (â→═) in Town.do.ts introduced by an earlier commit. Co-authored-by: John Fawcett <john@kilocode.ai>

Reviewer Notes
gt_statustool prompt instructs agents to only call it at meaningful phase transitions, not on every tool use, to avoid noise.router.d.tsdiff includes an unrelated whitespace change on thelistAgentsline — this came in with the original commits.
