Verify Overdeck agents are ACTUALLY progressing by READING each agent's real output and assessing what it is doing — not just whether a session is alive or a pane changed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# pan-agent-activity — READ what each agent is doing and assess progress A live pane ≠ a working agent, and **a changed pane ≠ real progress** (an agent can churn on duplicate notifications, re-ask the same question, or loop). The only reliable check is to **READ each agent's actual recent output and judge: is it advancing toward its task/goal, done, or stalled/errored — and if stalled, WHY (root cause)?** A hash-diff is a coarse liveness hint at best; it is NOT the method. **Doctrine (roles/flywheel.md, Fix at the root):** a stalled/errored agent is a symptom. Do NOT `pan tell` a nudge to unstick one instance — find the **root cause / substrate bug** and land the fix so it self-heals for every agent. ## Step 1 — READ every agent's real output (the actual method) The agent list comes from `GET /api/agents`, which reads the host's terminal backend (Herdr by default, tmux only under `terminal.backend: tmux`), and each agent's output from `GET /api/agents/<id>/conversation`, its transcript, which exists whatever the backend. Never list or capture agents with `tmux -L overdeck`: on a Herdr host it sees none of them. ```bash python3 - <<'PY' import json, re, urllib.request …

How to install
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-agent-activity@sha256:1c6f2ce1ad2a0db6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.f5d6c8e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
