feat(core,hooks,mcp,cli): wake requests + attention inbox#29
Merged
Conversation
Add a lightweight cross-agent "please attend" primitive and an inbox view: - task_wake / task_ack_wake / task_cancel_wake MCP tools post a wake request on a task thread. No claim transfer, no baton pass. Targets see it in the SessionStart preface and in the turn-boundary activity block with a copy-paste ack call; sender sees the ack on their next turn. - attention_inbox MCP tool plus `colony inbox` CLI command aggregate pending handoffs, pending wakes, stalled hivemind lanes, and recent other-session file claims into one compact progressive-disclosure view. Mirrors the handoff lifecycle (pending -> acknowledged/cancelled/expired) and reuses the same metadata / task-scoping shape so the two primitives can coexist without a schema change. Follow-ups deferred: takeover of stalled/dead sessions, claim-TTL renewal, SessionEnd checkpoint, terminal-control wake. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
task_wake/task_ack_wake/task_cancel_wakeMCP tools — a lightweight nudge primitive that complements handoffs. No claim transfer, no baton pass. Targets see the wake in the next SessionStart or UserPromptSubmit preface with a copy-paste ack call; sender sees the ack on their next turn.attention_inboxMCP tool andcolony inboxCLI that aggregate pending handoffs, pending wakes, stalled hivemind lanes, and recent other-session file claims into one compact progressive-disclosure view.pending → acknowledged | cancelled | expired) and stores structured wake metadata so the hook preface can render without decompressing content.Scope
This is the "first patch" from the wake/takeover design discussion: wake request + attention inbox only. Explicitly deferred to follow-ups — safe session takeover, claim TTL renewal, SessionEnd checkpoint, terminal-control wake.
