THE PROBLEM Several agents. One repository.
Two agents rewrite the same file.
Nobody can say who owns issue #41.
Work changes hands without a record.
agent 1claude
agent 2codex
agent 3claude
src/payments/refund.py three writers, no owner
THE FIX Agent Parley Each agent in its own worktree. Every claim, reservation and handoff recorded, with a name on it. Every terminal frame that follows is real agent-parley output. Only the claude and codex sessions are stand-ins: stub executables, no model.
