+- **`kanban_comment` rate limits** — Kanban may throttle if you comment too fast. Coalesce: only comment when the diff is *new* (not the same drift on every poll). The script tracks a state file at `.cache/tmux-agent-orchestrate-monitor/<workspace>.state` in the workspace root for this (overridable via `AGENT_SESSIONS_STATE_DIR`).
 - **Don't fight the user's explicit action** — if `tmux-agent-orchestrate-delete` is mid-flight and the monitor sees the same session in two states within 5s, prefer the user's most recent action. The monitor should not auto-revert a fresh `terminated` to `running` because of a stale `tmux has-session` check.
 - **The monitor should never modify the conversation artifacts** (jsonl, db) — only the YAML. If you see a stale UUID, comment about it but don't delete the file.
 - **TUI capture-pane is expensive** — only capture when you need to update `last_visible_status`, not every poll.
