1. current focus

Q4 2026 has two threads, and they are the same question asked twice.

Context surfaces. What a running system emits that a worker can read from its own tools — logs, diagnostics, traces, a rendered DOM, the agent's own hook stream. Read-only by default: a surface creates context, rather than answering a question the worker already knew to ask. Local by definition — the framing is here. The Q3 survey found that the products growing around coding agents persist the transcript, the terminal and the view, and none of them persists the program under test; that absence is the thread.

Collaboration. What happens when more than one worker shares those surfaces — gossip rather than locks, claims that expire, three consumers on one hook surface with nothing arbitrating between them.

Both drive what is worth attending at Clojure/conj 2026, where the REPL-as-agent-tool sessions are the overlap.
