- For concurrent sessions, amber takes priority while any agent needs attention; completion waits until all have stopped.
Field notes
The page documents both a settings-based setup and terminal commands for installing agent hooks. It says the installer keeps existing hooks and backs up the configuration file first. Multiple sessions are tracked separately, with attention-needed status taking precedence; completed work is shown only after all sessions stop. The fleet instructions include a short-code approval flow for Macs and a shell installer for Linux terminals.
