wardian askfor bounded peer handoffs with response evidence - List workflows, show workflow definitions, and start or stop workflow runs when the desktop app is available
- Inspect Wardian-managed agent worktrees, teams, and watchlists for automation-friendly coordination without treating the CLI as the primary human UI
