================================================================================
KEY FINDINGS:
================================================================================

ARCHITECTURE:
✓ Multi-threaded agent system (each teammate in OS thread)
✓ Message-based communication (broadcast to pending_user_messages)
✓ Centralized TeammateManager with HashMap<String, TeammateHandle>
✓ Thread-local isolation (CURRENT_AGENT_NAME, THREAD_CWD)
✓ Global file locks (RAII pattern)

STATUS TRACKING (CURRENT):
- Binary only: is_running: Arc<AtomicBool> (true/false)
- Display location: System prompt only ("{{.teammates}}" placeholder)
- No intermediate states (working, idle, error, stuck, completed)
- No UI panel or dedicated dashboard

COMMUNICATION:
- Broadcast model: All teammates receive all messages
- Queue-based: pending_user_messages in each TeammateHandle
- @mentions for optional targeting
- TUI display via shared_messages

LIFECYCLE:
1. Creation: CreateTeammate tool → thread spawn
2. Execution: Main loop with LLM, tools, idle detection
3. Idle detection: 120 polling rounds (~2 minutes)
4. Termination: Via cancel_token or idle timeout

CRITICAL BUG FOUND:
⚠️  Session exit doesn't call manager.stop_all() ⚠️
   - Teammates continue running after session closes
   - Threads accumulate over multiple sessions
   - Resource leak: memory, LLM API connections
   - Eventually cleanup via idle timeout (~2 minutes)
   - PRIORITY: HIGH
   - FIX COMPLEXITY: LOW (1 method call)

================================================================================
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED:
================================================================================

1. Apply the bug fix:
   cd /Users/jacklingo/dev_custom/j
   patch < FIX_SESSION_EXIT_BUG.patch

2. Test the fix:
   - Create multiple teammates
   - Exit session immediately
   - Verify is_running set to false for all
   - Verify no threads remaining
   - Verify memory released

3. Verify in production:
   - Monitor long-running sessions
   - Check thread count before/after sessions
   - Profile memory usage

================================================================================
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
================================================================================

HIGH PRIORITY:
  1. Fix session exit bug (apply the patch)
  2. Test with multiple concurrent teammates
  3. Verify cleanup with profiler

MEDIUM PRIORITY:
  4. Add status enum (Running, Idle, Completed, Error, Cancelled)
  5. Create UI status panel/dashboard
  6. Add error tracking and reporting
  7. Make idle timeout configurable

LOW PRIORITY:
  8. Task queuing system
  9. Coordination primitives (mutexes, semaphores, barriers)
  10. Named pipe communication between teammates
