Hey, good catch, you landed right in the hardest part. The handoff file is the easy link. The messy complexity is ownership and concurrency: who owns the task right now, did the receiver acknowledge it, and what happens if the cloud orchestrator and the local agent both move the same task at the same time.
I can’t share details on how this works internally or where the implementation is headed. It’s internal stuff we’re not ready to talk about publicly. But your point about durable ownership vs chat state is exactly what makes these setups non-trivial, and it’s being considered as part of the overall direction for multi-agent orchestration.
If you want to dig deeper, there are a couple of related threads that talk about messaging and handing off ownership between agents:
- Agent-to-agent messaging across workspaces
- Feature request: chat-notify primitive — we already have the mailbox (files), we just need the doorbell
When there’s something we can share in this area, I’ll follow up here.
