Uh oh!

The grouped-agents sidebar encodes agent state in dot color/shape (solid teal, solid yellow, hollow circle...) but there is no legend or hover tooltip anywhere in the UI, so new users have to reverse-engineer the vocabulary. We mapped it empirically today by correlating dots against
herdr agent liststatuses (teal = done/idle-unseen, yellow = working, hollow = idle-seen) — a hover tooltip on the dot (or a one-line legend in the sidebar header / settings) would make the sidebar self-describing. Child-space rows whose occupant herdr cannot detect (e.g. an agent inside wsl.exe) could tooltip that too ('no agent detected in this pane') — today that renders as a bare dot that reads like a bug.
