Journey fit
A session HUD is operational visibility while you work—not ideation or launch—so it belongs on the Operate shelf as continuous monitoring of the agent runtime. The plugin category is monitoring and surfaces real-time health signals (context, tools, agents, todos), matching Operate → monitoring.
How it compares
In-IDE agent session monitor, not a Ship-phase test pack or external observability MCP.
