For developers running multiple coding agents: a control plane that keeps agents aligned with current plans

Developers running several coding agents in parallel lose track of agents still pursuing abandoned plans. A tool that tracks the active task graph and agent state could cancel stale runs and show whether a passing patch actually satisfies the current goal.

The problem

When developers start multiple coding agents and then change plans, old agents keep working for hours, submit passing patches for abandoned work, and force manual cancellation or final-review cleanup. They cannot easily distinguish 'an agent run finished successfully' from 'the actual work is done'.

What could be built

A developer tool that maintains a single source of truth for active tasks and plans, integrates with coding-agent sessions, detects plan changes, automatically pauses, cancels, or re-prompts agents whose goals are stale, and summarizes whether completed runs satisfy current requirements.
