Shared session | `agent-shared` | Workspace + memory + conversation | Slack + GitHub webhooks in one thread | | 2. Same agent, separate sessions | `shared` / `per-thread` | Workspace + memory only | One agent across 3 Telegram chats | | 3. Separate agent groups | (different `agent_group_id`) | Nothing | Personal vs work channels | ## Two-DB Split (why) ```mermaid flowchart LR subgraph Mount["/workspace (volume mounted into container)"] In[("inbound.db")] Out[("outbound.db")] HB["/.heartbeat (file touch)"] end Host[Host process] -->|"writes only
