No Ambient Awareness When AI Coding Agents Are Running

Developers running Claude Code or Codex agents must actively watch terminal output to know what the agent is doing, breaking their focus. An audio-based monitoring layer would allow passive awareness of agent status without interrupting the developer's primary work.
