Live QControl Stream

Why we did this

qcontrol had started reporting which MCP servers and tools an agent uses, but the map ignored those events and could only poll for updates.

What happened

The map now updates live as an agent works: a bridge streams qcontrol's events to the browser, and MCP servers, tools, files, hosts and AI providers appear as they're used.

Also in this cycle
  • Each browser stays on the session it joined, so things stop popping in and out between processes. In words
  • A saved recording and a polling fallback let the map run with no bridge. In words

How we got here

Brought the map to life on a real agent

Matched: the record names nobody and the work is uncommitted, so there is no git authorship; its setup notes run the pipeline against Claude Code from Mark's own machine.
