tmux Lane Orchestrator

Purpose

Act as the manager for one tmux worker lane. Keep visibility over the lane's panes, infer what each worker is doing from tmux and Codex logs, surface blockers, and give the operator short status summaries with concrete next actions.

The manager owns only its lane by default. Current cockpit topology uses odd ops panes as lane managers:

• ops.1 manages L1.
• ops.3 manages L2.
• ops.5 manages L3.

Treat even-numbered ops panes as spare shells unless the operator explicitly assigns them. Do not inspect or steer another lane unless the operator expands scope.

Read references/factory-model.md when setting up or revising lane responsibilities. Read references/openclaw-lane-matrix.md for OpenClaw-specific worker interpretation.
