// Settings → Debug View (toggle on)
// Check per-agent diagnostics:
// - "JSONL not found" = extension can't locate session file
// - "Lines parsed: 0" = no activity detected
// - Verify file path matches expected location

// If running from source (F5 Development Host):
// View → Debug Console
// Search for "[Pixel Agents]"
// Look for:
// - Project directory resolution errors
// - JSONL polling status
// - Path encoding mismatches

// 1. Close all Claude Code terminals
// 2. In Pixel Agents panel, click each character
// 3. Press Delete or click trash icon
// 4. Spawn fresh agent with "+ Agent"

// 1. Type something in the Claude Code terminal
// 2. Wait 2-3 seconds for polling to update
// 3. If stuck, close and reopen Pixel Agents panel

**Solution:**

```bash

undefined

// 1. Spawn multiple agents for parallel work
// Right-click "+ Agent" → create 3 agents

// 2. Assign each to different task
// Agent 1: "Refactor authentication module"
// Agent 2: "Write unit tests for API"
// Agent 3: "Update documentation"

// 3. Monitor all agents visually in office
// Watch characters move between typing/reading states

// 4. Intervene when speech bubble appears
// Click terminal to provide input or approval

// 1. Design office layout per team structure
// Layout → Create 4 desk clusters for 4 teams

// 2. Export layout for sharing
// Settings → Export Layout → save as team-office.json

// 3. Team members import same layout
// Settings → Import Layout → select team-office.json

// 4. Everyone sees agents in same office structure

// Parent agent spawns sub-agent
// Example: Main agent delegates "write tests" to sub-agent

// Visual behavior:
// - New character appears linked to parent
// - Sub-agent character animates independently
// - Both visible until sub-task completes
// - Sub-agent disappears when task done

// 1. Create asset pack structure
mkdir -p /my-assets/furniture/custom-furniture

// 2. Add manifest and sprites
cat > /my-assets/furniture/custom-furniture/manifest.json << 'EOF'
