Good morning. It's August 29th, and this is Agent Of Empires Daily.
The clear theme today is session identity - making sure AoE knows exactly which conversation belongs to which pane, and can recover cleanly when things go wrong.
Start with PR 3579 from njbrake: when multiple AoE sessions ran in the same folder with the Pi agent, restarting AoE could reattach panes to the wrong conversation, because AoE was guessing based on file timestamps instead of pinning the conversation at launch. That's now fixed by pinning ownership explicitly. In a…
Together, these three fix real data-loss and misattribution risks: sessions silently vanishing, reattaching wrong, or failing to stop cleanly. If you've seen sessions behave oddly across restarts, this cluster of fixes is directly relevant.
Second theme: recovery under partial failure. PR 3578 from aaiyer addresses a half-closed runner relay - previously a one-sided failure could leave a stale handler alive instead of triggering proper reconnection. Now it's treated as a full connection failure with a clean recovery path.
Smaller but worth flagging: PR 3583 changes the default structured-view agent from the unshipped "aoe-agent" to "claude-code,"…
