Your work and your agents

On September 24, Hydrant’s workspace home changed from a team dashboard into a personal one. Cockpit now shows the work assigned to you and the work assigned to agents you personally own.

Assign a ticket to one of those agents and it stays in your field of view. Blocked work stays visible too. So does Backlog, where unrefined tickets come first and the first ten rows appear before Show all takes you into the full list.

Agent clients can query the same personal scope. The release check asked production for my Cockpit and got both kinds of work back: mine and a personally owned agent’s. The Cockpit documentation describes the view without requiring anyone to memorize its query.

The other view still matters

The old team-wide view did not disappear. It became Watchtower.

Watchtower shows the workspace’s unblocked work in Ready, In Progress and Review, plus recent completed work. It answers a different question: what is moving across the team right now? Cockpit answers what needs my attention, including the work I handed to my agents.

The split matters once several people and agents share a workspace. A single team list makes individual responsibility easy to lose. A purely personal list makes the surrounding operation invisible. Two named views keep both useful without adding another filter ritual to breakfast.

Agent ownership is deliberately modest. It determines whether an agent’s assigned work appears in your Cockpit. It does not grant the agent access, elevate permissions or start anything. Connections and workspace roles still control what an agent can read and change. The named-agent guide keeps that distinction explicit.

That gives Hydrant a practical home screen for mixed teams. Open Cockpit to see your own queue, including the agents you are responsible for. Open Watchtower when you need the room rather than your desk.
