Surveys the three common implementation patterns and their failure modes, presents a layered architecture using Claude Code’s –channels mode, tmux for persistence, and a hook-based permission system that routes prompts to chat. Includes deep technical analysis, code patterns, and an adaptation framework for varying needs.
