-- **Per-agent UI substance.** Show last N inbox messages, last turn timing,
-  link back to dashboard.
+- **Per-agent inbox view.** Show the last N messages addressed to
+  this agent on its page (the per-agent equivalent of the
+  dashboard's operator inbox). Needs a new wire request from agent
+  → host (host has the broker; agent doesn't); reuse the broker's

 - **State badge: compacting + napping states.** Idle/thinking already
   ship (driven from SSE turn_start/turn_end). Add `compacting 📦` and
   `napping 😴` once the `/compact` trigger and `nap` tool exist —
