/**
 * The badge a session wears while work it started in the background is still running.
 *
 * The bug this pins: an agent that arms a monitor, backgrounds a shell or hands work to a
 * cloud session is told to end its turn, so the pane falls quiet, Claude Code's idle
 * notification arrives a minute later, and every Codeman surface files the session under
 * NEEDS YOU. Nothing wants the user there. The CLI itself says so on the last row of its
 * screen (`⏵⏵ bypass permissions on · 1 monitor · ← for agents`), and reading that row is
 * what tells a session waiting for its own background work from one waiting for a human.
 *
 * The pane fixtures below are verbatim captures (`tmux -L codeman capture-pane -p`) from a
 * live Claude Code 2.1.278 session on 2026-09-21.
