## Agent state (row 59, #1548)
`#/agents` adds State and Attention columns. State is the board's mark
(● working, ◐ waiting, – idle) from the bus `agents` verb, with the number
of messages and since when for a working role. Attention shows
"Input needed:" with the first line of the role's first open decision,
linked to `#/inbox/<id>`, a blocking chip, and "+N more" to the Inbox when
there are others. The page says what each state means. It writes nothing;
the server passes the rows through unchanged. How the bus derives the state
and its limits: `packages/bus/README.md`, "Agent state".
