It is drawn only when the server says the setting is empty — a payload that does not mention it (an older server, the first frame) shows nothing rather than guessing. +- **The launch, at the moment it matters.** This is the design decision the card left open: it is a **note in the ticker**, appended to the launch's own line, rather than anything on the `▸ start work` action. It fires for the two intents that would have run the commands — work (`start_agent`, which phase members go through too) and act-pr (`start_pr_fix`) — and not for read-only kinds, which never had those commands. The launch itself is untouched: the card still runs, commits and lands in `review/`. +- **One answer to "what is empty".** `config.agent_commands()` splits the setting the way the adapters' standalone `split_commands()` does, so whitespace and a lone comma are nothing configured everywhere. A test asserts core and both shipped adapters agree over the same table of inputs. +- `AGENTS.md` (the install-detection passage) and `manager/core/.env.example` now describe the indicator where the trade that created it is already explained. + +**To know** + +- The chip's visible text names the setting; the file that holds it is in the tooltip, following the "no driver" chip's precedent of explaining the fix on hover. +- Nothing writes to `.env` and nothing guesses a command — the board still only reads settings. + +**Worth a reviewer's first look** + +- `manager/core/board.html:1070` — `renderAgentCommands()`, its wording and colour choice (no `--alarm`, no `--accent`). +- `manager/core/agents.py:257` — `_no_commands_note()` and its two call sites, if you disagree that the ticker (rather than the action) is the right channel at launch.
