ace-coworker composes the existing ace-assign lifecycle, ace-task ref resolution, and ace-hitl reporting for a prepared executor role. It owns the .ace-local/coworker/ run configuration and renders the executor brief.

ace-hitl-hermes treats the shared lab <-> hermes folder as the HITL transport: a message is a file, the address is <machine>/<folder>/<id>, delivery is push, and ACK is deletion. The plugin owns the channel registry, notification texts, and the versioned message formats (ace.hitl.hermes.message/v1), with atomic same-directory tmp+rename writes, fail-closed validation, quarantine, and bounded retries.

ace-overseer streamlines focused task execution by provisioning task worktrees, tmux windows, and assignment workflows in one flow.
