Owner

From spec/multi-agent-support/agent-feature-survey.md — finding #3.

What it is

Watch the agent navigate your codebase in real time — file opens, searches, edits — using the same multiplayer infrastructure the editor uses for human collaboration.

Seen in

Zed Agent ("Real-time Collaboration"); Cursor cloud agents stream a screen recording at the end.

ocman angle

OpenCode already streams events over SSE. The session view could grow a "spectator" pane that animates each tool call as it arrives — file reads highlight in a mini file tree, edits show a live diff, shell commands show a streaming pty. We aren't an editor so we don't open the file, but we can render the trail beautifully and deep-link into the user's actual editor (existing oc:// style handler).

Effort

M. SSE plumbing exists; this is mainly frontend.
