Layers
session | Background server namespace; owns every process |
workspace | One per repo or task; sidebar rolls up agent state |
tab | A layout inside a workspace (agents, logs, server) |
pane | A real terminal; split right or down, survives detach |
agent | A coding agent Herdr recognizes inside a pane |
Detaching the client leaves the server and all panes running
Agent States
working | Agent is busy on a turn |
blocked | Waiting on an approval prompt or a question |
done | Finished, and you have not looked yet |
idle | Finished or waiting, already seen |
unknown | Agent present, state unclear; not proof it finished |
idle and done both mean the agent will accept a new prompt
Input Modes
terminal | Keys go straight to the focused pane |
prefix | After Ctrl-b, the next key is a Herdr action |
navigate | Persistent workspace navigation surface |
copy | Keyboard scrollback, search and select (Prefix [) |
