For a dev team using agents as coding tools + coordinating via git, that workflow makes sense.

I built cast for other (non-coding) scenarios. A shared agent that multiple people interact with conversationally in real time, with different permission levels.

Think a household assistant on Telegram, or a small team's internal tool where sales and engineering collaborate but shouldn't see each other's data. There's no PR workflow there, just people chatting with a shared service.

On Mac Mini: Runs on anything with Node and a container runtime. Just trying to tap into the zeigeist.

Right, but wouldn't that happen by default? Lets say I slap a PHP API in front of a local Codex instance running somewhere, then let people login and chat with those, then by default nothing is shared? Sharing stuff between, is extra stuff on top, not things that happen by default, so I'm still not sure what the "duct-taping row-level access into the prompt" actually means in practice? You mean people would ask to access other's data and you want to prevent them from that?
