See (2) below.\n\nWhile we\u0027re here, add handling of compaction agent messages.\n\nThis leaves two big TODOs outstanding:\n\n1.\n\nUntangle the awful rats nest that is slug and branch management;\nwe have callbacks back and forth and layers and locking and it\u0027s all confusing.\nOne visible for that this ugliness takes is that every time the agent tries out a slug,\nthe top bar in the webui updates, even if we then reject that slug as a duplicate.\nthere are other forms of ugliness, just less visible.\n\n2.\n\nMake slug generation concurrent with the rest of the agent,\nto avoid a short stall right after the user\u0027s first request (ick).\n\nWhen we make slug setting concurrent, we\u0027ll likely need to resuscitate\nthe bashPermissionCheck, except it\u0027ll be \"silently block and wait for\nbackground slug generation to complete\", rather than \"reject the tool call\".\nDitto for about_sketch, and any other tool call that expects\nthe slug or branch name to be set.\n\nGenerally, before undertaking this effort, we should fix (1) above,\nmake convos generally concurrency safe (maybe COW?), and\nfigure out to get race-enabled innie builds.\n\nCo-Authored-By: sketch \u003chello@sketch.dev\u003e\nChange-ID: s8ac5f6a9faa611ebk\n"
