- **Delivered events history persistence.** The `events::Bus` ring
buffer (500 events, in-memory) backfills the terminal on page load
but dies on harness restart, and only ever holds the most recent
turn or two. Persist to sqlite (`events(agent, id, ts, kind,
payload_json)`) so the operator can scroll back through prior
turns, and so `/events/history` survives restart. Cap rows per
agent or auto-vacuum on age, same trade-off as the bounded broker
entry below.
- **Granular agent state badge** above the terminal: `idle 💤 / thinking 🧠 /
compacting 📦` with an age timer (`thinking · 12s`). Drives a state
channel from the harness: idle when waiting on the inbox, thinking
while claude's stream is open, compacting when `/compact` is in
flight. Replaces the binary "harness alive — turn loop running" line.
- **Terminal: slash commands + tab-completion.** Operator-facing
in-terminal commands: `/help`, `/model`, `/compact`, `/clear`. Tab
completes command names + model names (cf. bitburner-agent's pattern).
- **Terminal: multi-line input.** Replace the single-line `<input>` with
an auto-growing textarea; Enter sends, Shift+Enter newlines.
- **Terminal: cancel-current-turn button.** Explicit "kill claude
process for this turn" control. Harness needs to track the
in-flight claude child PID and offer a `/cancel` endpoint that sends
SIGTERM; UI surfaces a button while the state badge is `thinking`.
Slash-command equivalent: `/cancel`.
- **`/compact` trigger.** Operator-initiated compaction of the current
claude session — `claude --print --continue` with `/compact` over the
same session id. Surfaces as a slash command in the terminal + a
toolbar button while the state badge is `idle`. Sets state to
`compacting` during the run.
- **Visuals.** Frosted-glass backdrop blur on the terminal wrap,
per-event fade-in slide-up animation on new rows, badge pulse
animation on state-badge transitions.

## Telemetry
- **Harness stats per agent in sqlite, charted on the agent page.**
bitburner-agent samples 18 series; for hyperhive the generally-applicable
ones are:
- turns/min, tool calls/turn, turn duration p50/p95
- claude exit code distribution (ok vs `--compact`-retry vs failure)
- inbox depth (current + max-over-window)
- messages sent/received per turn (split by recipient: peer / operator /
manager / system)
- approval queue length (across all agents — dashboard-level)
- per-tool usage counts (Read/Edit/Bash/send/recv/…)
- time-since-last-turn (helps spot stuck agents)
- notes file size growth (cues compaction)
Backend: a `stats` table with `(agent, ts, key, value)` written from
the harness on `TurnEnd`; `GET /api/stats?since=…` returns the
series; agent page renders with a small chart lib (uPlot is light).

- **`nap` tool.** Agent-side MCP tool `mcp__hyperhive__nap(seconds)` that
parks the turn loop for a short while before next-message processing.
Use cases: agent decides it has nothing useful to do, or wants to
throttle itself between rapid wake events. Implementation: harness
records a "wake-not-before" timestamp; `recv_blocking` skips the long
poll until that ts; the state badge reads `napping · MM:SS` during.
Operator can cancel via the same `/cancel` slash command or a
dashboard button.
