Helm: Mobile Mission Control for Agentic Sessions

A mission-control system that turns a spare Android phone into a live dashboard for every Claude Code session running on a laptop — session cards, live transcripts with red/green diffs, an ambient "Standby Mode" board, and a Tailscale SSH terminal. Launch/kill/reply control is fully built and hardened, gated behind device-pinning, TOTP, and an audit log — currently switched off pending a UI pass.

Hooks ping, the transcript is truth

Hooks give the low-latency signal while the JSONL transcript remains the source of truth.

Control, built and switched off

Remote control is protected by separate tokens, device pinning, TOTP, and an audit log.
