What changes

Selecting an agent on #/agents, or in an organization page's "Active agent sessions" table, opens a detail drawer at the right of the page. At 700 px and below it is a full-width sheet. The page under it stays.
The address carries the selection as ?agent=<org>:<name>. A reload or a shared link opens the same drawer. Back closes it. Close and Escape close it and return focus to the row.
The drawer shows the agent's name, organization, role and source, state in the Agents page's words, model, current project and task, up to five open tasks with a link to the Tasks board filtered to it, and up to five decisions it raised with links into the Inbox.
Message opens the agent's thread as a pane on the Assistant page. It shows only for thread agents (the assistant), where the Console can send chat.
Stop ends that one agent's session after a confirm. It shows only for a running, unprotected organization agent where the Console can change settings. Otherwise a note says why Stop is not offered.
The Tasks board reads assignee from the address.
From the Dashboard the drawer opens in 2 clicks.

How

workspace.js holds the drawer. bus.js passes the query and organization config to the two pages and treats a hash change that only opens, closes or switches the drawer as a repaint. shell.css has the drawer styles. tasks-board.js reads the assignee filter.
Reads that exist: /api/workspace, GET /api/orgs/<org>/instances, GET /api/orgs/<org>/business. Stop uses the existing POST /api/orgs/<org>/agent/terminate with one instance and follows GET /api/orgs/<org>/agent/request.
No new server route, no new write route, no schema change, nothing under roles/ or contracts/.
The drawer holds at most one history entry, so Close never takes two presses and never leaves the Console from a shared link.

Tests

New tests/agent-drawer-browser.test.mjs, 11 results, red first.
Lane gate on 69ce460f9: 191 webui test files, 1538 pass, 0 fail, 4 skipped (org-quick-live, needs a live scratch instance).
Lead check on 69ce460f9: 196 pass, 0 fail over the new test file plus the agents, tasks, single-pane, workspace, tiles, assistant, workflows, inbox and switch files.

Review

Two rounds, each a fresh claude-opus-5-5 reviewer. Round 1 asked for five changes (Close could take two presses or leave the Console from a shared link, the board kept a dropped assignee filter, Escape during the Stop question closed the drawer, a wrong "last activity" label, missing tests). All fixed in 69ce460f9. Round 2 approved.

Left for later

No test that a repaint keeps the Stop question on screen. The re-check's probe showed the code keeps it.
Last activity time: no read gives it.
The template a hired agent came from: no read names it. The drawer shows "Hired" and the hire decision id.
Message for role agents other than the assistant.
Restart from the drawer.
The organization page clips its Settings column and sessions table at about 735 px of content width. This predates the slice.

## What changes - Selecting an agent on `#/agents`, or in an organization page's "Active agent sessions" table, opens a detail drawer at the right of the page. At 700 px and below it is a full-width sheet. The page under it stays. - The address carries the selection as `?agent=<org>:<name>`. A reload or a shared link opens the same drawer. Back closes it. Close and Escape close it and return focus to the row. - The drawer shows the agent's name, organization, role and source, state in the Agents page's words, model, current project and task, up to five open tasks with a link to the Tasks board filtered to it, and up to five decisions it raised with links into the Inbox. - Message opens the agent's thread as a pane on the Assistant page. It shows only for thread agents (the assistant), where the Console can send chat. - Stop ends that one agent's session after a confirm. It shows only for a running, unprotected organization agent where the Console can change settings. Otherwise a note says why Stop is not offered. - The Tasks board reads `assignee` from the address. - From the Dashboard the drawer opens in 2 clicks. ## How - `workspace.js` holds the drawer. `bus.js` passes the query and organization config to the two pages and treats a hash change that only opens, closes or switches the drawer as a repaint. `shell.css` has the drawer styles. `tasks-board.js` reads the assignee filter. - Reads that exist: `/api/workspace`, `GET /api/orgs/<org>/instances`, `GET /api/orgs/<org>/business`.

feat(webui): sp12 agent drawer, selecting an agent on #/agents or in an organization page's Active agent sessions opens its details at the right of the page with ?agent=<org>:<name> in the address; Back, Escape and Close close it and focus returns to the row; fields come from the workspace, instances and business reads; Message and Stop follow the organization's own config, Stop asks first and says why a refusal happened; the Tasks board takes an assignee from the address (#1873 , lane sp12-agent-drawer) bfd3ed6811

fix(webui): sp12 shots, at 1200px wide and above the page keeps clear of the agent drawer so nothing sits under it; where this Console could change the organization's agents but Stop is not offered, the drawer says why (a copy, a protected agent, or not running); drawer sections drop the page section margin (#1873 , lane sp12-agent-drawer) 307f88be3e

fix(webui): sp12 review, the agent drawer holds at most one history entry: a row opened from the page pushes one marked entry, another row replaces it, the open row changes nothing, and Close goes Back only from that marked entry, so a shared link never leaves the Console; Escape while Stop asks cancels only the question; the Tasks board drops the assignee filter the address set when the address drops it; tests cover a Stop the bus takes (#1873 , lane sp12-agent-drawer) 69ce460f91
