the "event becomes a file write" abstraction is clean. it gives you a uniform interface regardless of where the trigger comes from - the agent doesn't need to know if a human wrote it or a daemon did.

the dashboard-as-document idea is pretty much exactly what we ended up needing. in our case the operational state (which sessions are live, which proxies are assigned, what their detection status is) was getting stale almost immediately in any static doc. a watcher that keeps specific fields fresh while leaving the rest of the doc stable solves that without turning the whole thing into a firehose.

we actually built around this problem specifically - CloakBrowser (https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser) is focused on browser session isolation, and the state-sync piece was one of the harder parts to get right. each session has runtime state that no static spec can capture. the file-write pattern for feeding live state into agent context would have saved us some pain early on.

curious about the sectional write-back you mentioned building - does the agent target sections by header, or is it more like named anchors in the markdown?
