It starts the worker (src/worker.py, which runs runner/worker.py; engine/worker.py stays as an alias for supervisors started before 2.201) and starts it again whenever it exits: RELOAD on a new build, RELAUNCH to restart the agent, STOP to end, HEAL or a quick crash to roll back a build through journal heal. The worker holds everything else: seating the session, the start-up confirm typed through the typist, services, viewer, update check, check-in, and the one-time relaunch of sessions launched before agents/terminal.py LAUNCH. agents/terminal.py holds only journal-side helpers. The server (serve.py) still runs the engines and re-execs itself on a .py change.
