Many agents, one record.
A thread is a run with members. Each agent claims a task, takes its turns, and reports done or blocked. The thread's streams hold every step, with who took it.

What a thread is
A thread is a run with members.
A thread is a folder: run.json, members.jsonl and one stream per member and per replica. A host joins agents to it and mounts a folder of .task.tsx files.
Case study · CommandAGI's own backlog
One thread, 3,818 tasks.
CommandAGI builds itself in one thread, "backlog: eight next.md sections", opened on 2026-10-23. Agents on this computer, a second GB10 and eight cloud VMs work through the backlog's task files. Counted on 2026-11-04 (case-studies/backlog-thread/stats.json).
Done or blocked. Of 4,166 done reports, 3,637 said done and 341 said blocked, with the reason in the task file. A stopped host's work resumes. Its claims stay in the stream, and the next claim of the task says resumed. A task whose folder is no longer mounted is recorded as lost, not dropped in silence.
