@will.anderson — the Agent panel (Cowork-style right rail in chat) is built client-side (neuron-ui feat/agent-panel). These pieces need soul-side support. Full contract in the PR: docs/AGENT-PANEL-SOUL-CONTRACT.md. Priority order:

0. Prerequisite — deploy the fixed agentic soul (issue #25). The panel shows live activity but the agent can't reliably act until the merged fixes (#17–#22, #58) ship in the running binary.

1. agent_workspace_root scoping (PR #23, open). Scopes file tools to the panel's chosen folder. Needs your build + the design call (.el guard vs el_runtime.c).

2. Plan-mode endpoint for "Plan before running" (default-on): POST /api/chat {mode:"plan"} → {plan:{steps:[...]}}, returns a structured editable plan WITHOUT executing. (Client-side fallback possible, but native is cleaner.)

3. Structured activity events on the agentic path (step_id, tool, args, status, summary) so the panel can show per-step status + will-do vs did.

4. Diffs for file-writing tools (before/after, per-file accept/reject) — the #1 user-loved feature in the competitive research.

5. Checkpoints / rewind — per-step snapshot + restore endpoint.

1–2 unlock the most user value; 4–5 are the heaviest lift. Nothing here blocks the v1 panel (autonomy, live activity, inputs/outputs, settings) which works now.
