Dispatch an agent

When a task is ready, dispatch an agent to work it. Halyard materializes the project context, runs the agent in a session on a matching node, and keeps the full transcript for review.

Dispatching a task creates a session bound to that task. At dispatch, Halyard synthesizes a CLAUDE.md preamble — the goal doc first, then recent journal entries, the library index, and the task’s definition of ready / done — so the agent reads the why before the how.

If the agent gets stuck or needs a decision, the session moves to awaiting-input and surfaces in your Inbox and on Today. Answer in the HITL console and the agent resumes from where it paused. See the FAQ for details.

When the session completes, review the work and the generated PR draft. Every session traces back through task → issue → requirement → PRD, so nothing ships without a line back to why it exists. See Traceability & compliance.
