Status takes one click under Settings → Integrations to install that agent's hook,
and brings the status dot, notifications, the tray icon, tty7 wait, and resume
after a reboot. Fork needs both — the agent's own fork command, and the hook
that tells tty7 which session to fork. Past sessions are read from the agent's
own history files and listed in Search Everywhere, where ⏎ resumes one.

None of them are wrapped or proxied — the agent you start is the agent you get,
in a normal PTY, with its own interface. An agent launched through a wrapper
script can be mapped to one by name with agent_commands in config.json.
Every agent on your PATH is also a row in Search Everywhere (Agent: Claude Code, …)
that opens it in a new tab, and the New Tab menu names the ones you have actually
run. agent_launch sets the command line it starts with.

CLI reference. The agent-facing CLI interface is also
documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.
