Cross-session messaging

Harness

A way for parallel agent sessions to pass text to each other: one finds another by name and sends a message, and the other reads it on its next step. In Claude Code this is cross-session messaging and the experimental agent teams; in Cursor the handoff between local and cloud agents plays a similar role. Orchestration then works without a human copying answers between windows.
