does it support a setup where each agent can be in a different SSH session? or must they all run in the same place.

it seems to support running a remote herdr over SSH but unclear if it can add remote agents (each agent has its own sandbox where its installed and you first SSH into it and then start the agent there)

afaik, you should be able to use named session to achieve this: https://herdr.dev/docs/persistence-remote/

Same question.

I usually have one local clause orchestrating multiple remote Claude in different tmux . And then another orchester and remote vm worker sin tmux for another repo etc...

It gets a bit hard to keep the overview but I don't want to give up my parallelism, your too might help

Just use tmux no?

How would you know if a tab that isn't frontmost is waiting for input or complete or whatever?

You use an agentic harness which terminates with bell character[0]. This lights up tmux, clearly indicating that it's done.

Someone else suggested the bell character. But you can also just set tmux pane names or color. Which you can also do from your agent harnass.
