+### Added
+- The top tab bar now prefixes each agent tab's label with its
+  idle-state glyph (✕ error, ? permission, ◐ thinking, ○ idle, ●
+  working), matching the sidebar's vocabulary so the state of every
+  open agent is visible without opening or focusing each tab.
+
 ### Changed
 - Built-in agent presets (`claude`, `codex`, `opencode`) now live in
   memory and user preset files merge over them by name instead of
