- Added the `xd://` virtual device protocol (`internal-urls/xd-protocol.ts`, `tools/xdev.ts`): tools declaring `loadMode: "discoverable"` are unmounted from the request tools array and driven via `read xd://` (list/docs+schema) and `write xd://<tool>` (execute), gated by the `tools.xdev` setting (default on) and inlined into the system prompt.
- Merged the `irc`, `job`, and `launch` tools into a single `hub` tool (`tools/hub/`, `async/job-manager.ts`): messaging keeps `send`/`inbox`/`list`, job control maps to `wait`/`cancel`/`jobs`, process supervision keeps `start`/`logs`/`stop`/`restart`/`describe` with `ps`, and the unified `wait` races background jobs against peer messages; SDK `IrcTool`/`JobTool`/`LaunchTool` are replaced by `HubTool`.
- Removed the hidden `resolve` tool in favor of the `xd://resolve`/`xd://reject`/`xd://propose` resolution devices, auto-including `write` whenever a deferrable tool or plan mode is present.
- Removed the BM25 tool-discovery system: the `search_tool_bm25` tool, the `tool-discovery` module, the `tools.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryDefaultServers`/`tools.essentialOverride` settings, per-tool MCP selection, and the `mcp_tool_selection` message type.
- Unified tool presentation on `ToolLoadMode` (`essential`|`discoverable`), replacing the custom-tool `xdev?: boolean` opt-out; custom, extension, MCP, RPC host, image-generation, and TTS tools now default to `discoverable`, and added a `satisfies` predicate to `SoftToolRequirement`.
- Removed the standalone `ssh` command tool and `ssh/ssh-executor` (the `ssh://` read/write/search protocol stays), and made `--tools` address hidden built-ins.
- Updated collab-web to render `xd://` dispatches and `hub` op families, dropped the `search_tool_bm25`/`ssh`/`report-finding` renderers, refreshed tool docs and prompts, and migrated the affected tests and changelogs.
Add a display-only `activity` field to AgentRef plus `setActivity`, fed
from the subagent progress chokepoint with a short gist of the agent's
latest intent (or current tool). Render it in the `irc list` output, the
subagent peer roster, and the TUI peer card, beside the role-derived
display name. setActivity emits no event — the roster reads on demand —
so the per-tool-call rate stays off the registry listener path. Peers
with no activity render without a dangling clause.

Op: extend
Replaces the blocking auto-reply IRC turn with a process-global IrcBus and a four-op tool (send/wait/inbox/list). send is fire-and-forget with per-recipient delivery receipts (injected/woken/revived/failed); replies become real turns by the recipient, observed via wait (or the send await:true sugar). Bounded per-agent mailboxes (cap 100) drop oldest on overflow; AgentSession.deliverIrcMessage folds an in-flight delivery in as a non-interrupting aside at the next step boundary, or starts a real wake turn when idle. AgentRegistry/lifecycle handle the idle→woken / parked→revived transitions, so messaging a non-running peer brings it back. Adds a dedicated TUI renderer (directional headers, delivery-outcome coloring, quoted bodies, per-recipient receipt trees, status-badged peer lists with unread counts). irc.timeoutMs is now the default timeout for wait / send await:true. AgentSession sheds the agentRegistry config field, the dedupeIrcReply → dedupeEphemeralReply rename (now used by /btw and /omfg), and the background-channel exchange queue / forwardIrcRelayToMain plumbing the auto-reply model needed.
