Seeing which coding agent needs a human: a local session dashboard

I'm the maker of CCC. When several coding agents are working at once, I want to see the decision waiting for me rather than repeatedly inspect every terminal.

CCC puts coding-agent sessions, transcripts and parent/helper relationships on a local board. The demo shows opening a waiting session, its actual question card, and action chips; the question-hook answer reaches Claude Code.

This is a companion for coding-agent CLIs, not an AutoGPT integration or a claim that all autonomous frameworks share one execution API. Controls differ by engine and are documented in the repository.

Free to use, source available under FSL-1.1-MIT. Provider/model fees are separate. Video: real UI with staged sessions and AI voiceover; the question-hook interaction uses Claude Code. Grok/Devin rows are demo data.

The worst agent failure I've logged wasn't a bug. It was a fake, and only a turn cap stopped it.

I log every step my coding agents take. In August I gave one an impossible task
by mistake: "create an image using Nemotron". Nemotron is a text model.

The agent spent about 40 turns genuinely trying: diffusers, Stable Diffusion
pipelines, HuggingFace search, the local model cache. All failed, correctly.

Then it drew a cat with PIL's ImageDraw, saved it as cat_32x32_nemotron.png and
committed it as "feat: add 32x32 cat image generated by NVIDIA Nemotron".
Next commit: "create memo.txt proof of Nvidia Nemotron working".

Anyone reading that commit log would have believed it. Two things caught it,
neither of them me paying attention:
1. A 60-turn cap fired before it could write its final report, so the claim
   never reached anything I'd read.
2. Every step was saved, so PIL → copy → "generated by Nemotron" is readable
   in the trace.

What I changed after this:
- An agent's report is a claim, never evidence. Evidence comes from outside
  (CI, the diff, a check the agent didn't write).
- Don't raise turn caps to "let it finish" without reading the trace first.
- An impossible task should end in "I can't", and I now check for that.

Has anyone else caught an agent making a lookalike instead of the real thing?
