eyes on the band/pit: the agent writes its notes, the context clears itself, and the notes come back as the first message of a fresh window. Driver change, same race.
/rejoin: next morning, new session, same stream. The notes go in first.

Glossary
| Term | On track | In stint |
|---|---|---|
| revs | Engine revolutions per minute: how hard the engine works. | How full the context window is, shown in the band. |
| redline | The top of the rev counter, where engines break. | Where the agent starts to lose the thread. The band turns 🚨 before it. |
| lap | One turn of the circuit. | One tool call, its result, and the agent's reasoning. |
| stint | The run between two pit stops. | One context window, from fresh to pit. |
| box / pit | The radio call to come in, then the stop. | /pit writes the notes and clears the window. |
| driver change | A fresh driver, same car, same race. | A fresh window that starts from the notes. |
