Scoring Algorithm:

score = 100
  - (tasksCompleted * 0.1)        // Load penalty
  - (status === 'busy' ? 50 : 0)  // Busy penalty
  - (status === 'error' ? 80 : 0) // Error penalty
  + (status === 'idle' ? 20 : 0)  // Idle bonus
  + max(0, 20 - (avgTime / 1000)) // Performance bonus

Test Coverage: 7 tests

Features:

• Real-time agent console attachment
• Live log streaming with filtering

• Multi-agent attachment support
• Graceful session cleanup

Key Methods:

• execute(options: AttachOptions): Promise<AttachSession>
• createAttachSession() - Initialize monitoring session
• startMonitoring() - Begin real-time monitoring
• monitorLogs() - Log stream with file watching
• monitorMetrics() - Periodic metrics polling
• monitorEvents() - Event bus subscription
• getActiveSession() - Session retrieval

Event Emitters:

• log - Log entry received
• metric - Metrics update received
• event - Event notification received

Test Coverage: 6 tests

5. ✅ agent detach

File: src/cli/commands/agent/detach.ts (298 lines)

Features:

• Graceful console detachment
• Session statistics display
• Session data archival
• Resource cleanup (intervals, listeners)
• Force detach option
• Batch detach from all agents
• Old session cleanup utility

Key Methods:

• execute(options: DetachOptions): Promise<DetachResult>
• stopMonitoring() - Clear intervals and listeners
• displaySessionStats() - Show session summary
• archiveSession() - Save session data
• cleanupSession() - Remove session metadata
• detachAll() - Batch detachment
• cleanupOldSessions() - Archive maintenance

Test Coverage: 7 tests

🔗 Integration with AgentRegistry

All commands integrate seamlessly with the centralized AgentRegistry service:

Service Methods Used:

• getAgentRegistry() - Singleton registry access
• getRegisteredAgent(agentId) - Agent retrieval
• spawnAgent(mcpType, config) - Agent creation
• terminateAgent(agentId) - Agent termination
• executeTask(agentId, task) - Task execution
• getAgentMetrics(agentId) - Metrics retrieval
• getAllAgents() - Fleet-wide queries

Registry Features Leveraged:

• Agent lifecycle management
• Task tracking and metrics
• Status monitoring
• Resource management
• Error handling
