What it does.
Coding agents stop when they need a person. hwip makes sure that person can answer from anywhere.
Questions reach your phone
A push the moment an agent needs you. Answer yes or no, or type a reply with the context in view.
The diff comes with it
The code change sits next to the question, so you can decide without walking back to the desk.
Sealed end to end
