Pair 3 (internal target Thu 2026-11-12, six days early):
- agent-worktree-contention — 'How do you manage worktrees when your agents
end up waiting on each other?' (backlog 1xlz2bs, Scan 6 #4); git worktree +
Docker Compose project-name docs fetched and read 2026-11-05.
- agent-keeps-asking — 'Why does your coding agent keep stopping to ask you
questions?' (handback cluster: 1xlfqmo, 1xk0ghj, 1xlxw0q); permission +
hooks claims re-verified live 2026-11-05 against code.claude.com; the
1xlfqmo poster's measurement figures deliberately not cited.
Pitch narrowed per CTO reopening verdict: trial→paid placeholder deleted
(FRE-202 cohort too young; ratio waits for FRE-197), second breakage chosen
(NOOK-815 uninvoked suite), any count named as activations, downloads never
quoted.
- agent-done-signal: 'How do you know when your coding agent is done?' —
the zero-looks-like-success cluster (1xjb3j0, 1xm09fs, 1xmnz2c, HN fhub/
sadilek); Stop/Notification/StopFailure hooks cited to the agent's own
docs, re-read 2026-11-05. No product, no competitor, no price.
- agent-waiting-on-permission: 'Why is my coding agent sitting on a
permission prompt?' — the 1xhbc71 thread + invisible-permission cluster;
permission modes, /permissions, rule syntax, acceptEdits cited to the
permissions doc; undo-split attributed to 1xkoz06.
- newsletter-postmortem-pitch: item 2's shape, placeholders only; send
gated on FRE-202 or a CTO-confirmed direct relay-store read.
All drafts: sponsor fact-check moves pending/ -> approved/; nothing
publishes itself.
