Claude builders and architects report turn start, tool activity, permission prompts, questions and turn end through a fail-open hook, and Tower fuses that with process liveness to serve working, needs-input, idle, blocked or dead on the overview. The VS Code extension (Agents view, Tower view, status bar, badge) and the dashboard (builder card, Needs Attention list) show the same state from one shared rule. A permission prompt is counted the second it is drawn; a silent long-running tool stays working; an exited agent reads dead within about ten seconds. Codex and OpenCode builders, and Claude sessions started before the update, keep the previous silence-based behaviour. Attention state lives in Tower memory only and is rebuilt from the agents' next reports after a restart.
