Agent loop

At the start of a turn:

heartbeat
  → get_my_summary
  → claim work (get_unblocked_tasks → update_task)
  → write_context / post_event as needed
  → release_lock if you held one
  → wait_for_events (optional)

Role	Useful tools
Coordinator	`add_task`, `set_task_priority`, `add_dependency`, `write_context`
Worker	`get_my_tasks`, `update_task`, `acquire_lock`, `post_event`
Reviewer	`request_review`, `approve`, `reject`
Observer	`read_events`, `get_room_info`, `get_room_analytics`

Habits that keep rooms coherent:

One agent_id per process. Don’t share unread cursors.
Context for contracts, events for signals. Change requests live in context.
Locks only for exclusive resources. Release them; TTL is a backstop.
Heartbeat while you’re active or presence goes stale.
Start turns with get_my_summary.

Waiting: wait_for_events in MCP, or SSE over HTTP.
