Any member can message any other member directly. Broadcasts reach the current roster. Images travel with the message, so a bug screenshot can move from you to the lead to the agent fixing it without being translated into somebody else's words.

This is coordination without hierarchy: delivery is not a hopeful append to a chat log. The Rust runtime tracks each recipient from queued through injected or failed, and Team Comms gives the whole team one canonical stream.

Specs, research reports, implementation plans, and handoffs all become Markdown—and reading is the bottleneck once agents can generate them faster than a human can review them. File View renders them with Comrak and syntect in Rust and keeps them current while agents edit.

The tree is Markdown-only on purpose. Search paths, search the whole workspace, find text inside the open document, or jump through its table of contents without opening another IDE just to read.

An agent starts a build, test suite, or dev server and ends its turn. The Rust-native Process Manager owns the command, working directory, timeout, permissions, and bounded stdout and stderr logs.

When the process exits, the result is injected back into the thread that started it and that agent resumes. The deeper rule is that background processes belong to the runtime: no polling, no pasted logs, and no completion leaking into whichever conversation happens to be active.
