Restore option to filter the Agents panel by current workspace

[Deiced]

After upgrading to 0.7.1, the Agents panel now always shows agents from every workspace. While I understand the motivation (global visibility), it becomes difficult to scan when using many workspaces and many agents.

My setup looks something like this:

• 3-8 workspaces
• Several agents per workspace
• Different workspaces represent different projects or contexts

In this case, the Agents panel becomes quite long, and I often only care about the agents in the currently active workspace.

Proposal

Add an optional filter mode for the Agents panel, for example:

• Show agents from the current workspace only
• Show all agents (current behavior)

This could be implemented as:

• a toggle in the UI,
• a keyboard shortcut,
• or a configuration option such as:

ui.agent_panel_scope = "current_workspace" # or "all"

+1 dunno why this was removed, especially without #697 it's now difficult to see all workspace agents when there is more than a handful of them in the workspace...

The priority is now but the agent scope should be:

• priority
• grouped
• workspace
• workspace-prio

Use case: have 5+ workspaces with some having 10+ agents, cry.

+1 — my use case: each task workspace has one main agent (the one I interact with) plus background helper agents — e.g. an unattended PR-watch loop that fixes CI and addresses review comments until merge. Only the main agent is worth showing in the Agents panel; the background ones just add noise, doubling the panel size for every task in flight.

Scope modes would help, but what I'd really want is a way to mark an agent/pane as background so it never shows in the panel — only main agents listed, one row per task.

I've got it working locally as a third option, can post a PR
the option is named space and it sorts by priorty within current space

yeah upgrading to 0.7.1 and seeing this option removed broke my heart. i would love to see it back, that's the only missing piece for my workflow with herdr to look exactly how i want it to.

Sorry I didn't see this one was open already, but I've got a branch with this option added back as an optional filter instead of removing it all together, check it out: #1406

+1 from me on this, i really liked the old current filter thingy! thanks everybody!

[boozedog]

it struck me that we might try implementing as a plugin, but it looks like herdr doesn't support plugins messing with the agent list presently

anyway it'd be interesting to know what @ogulcancelik thinks about all this!

love herdr!

[boozedog]

in my own fork i'm contemplating just having an app-wide config that allows always filtering the agent list to current space and retaining the current sort options in the "sort" chip

would be good to know what direction @ogulcancelik has in mind for this though, would prefer to keep any implementation consistent with the project owner's vision for this

Btw, I built this as a plugin now that it's supported. #1406 (comment)
