Agent Of Empires Daily: Fixing What Identity Broke
Today's merges cluster around a single root cause: session state that was tracked by a mutable label — a title, a pane index, a status flag — instead of a stable identity, causing silent failures across tmux, terminal, and status polling code. Fixes now anchor resolution to session IDs, and two feature PRs extend the live session view to show more of what's actually running.

The clearest case is PR 3158, from njbrake. Every tmux lifecycle operation looked up a session by a name derived from its current title. But titles can change without the underlying tmux session being renamed to match — smart rename is best-effort, manual renames can fail silently. The result: archiving could tear…
The same category of bug shows up in PR 3162: a status polling loop was comparing two snapshots of session state that structurally can never match for structured sessions, so it kept firing false "status changed" events every two seconds. And PR 3165 fixes a crash where opencode session setup tried to start an async…
Second theme: the live session view is getting more honest about what's on screen. PR 3141 makes the TUI preview render every tmux pane in a session, not just the one the agent occupies — previously, anything a user split off manually simply vanished from view. And PR 3136 restores clipboard copy-out from the…
What's next: watch PR 3164,…
