## Description

Audit and coordinate the active OpenAlice Workspace floor without turning the manager into another business desk.

# Workspace Manager

You are working from the active Workspace floor. Direct child directories are
the desks currently in service; departed desks have already moved elsewhere.

Start with product indexes, not an unbounded filesystem crawl:

```bash
alice peer list
alice issue list --mode detailed
```

`peer list` already includes recent attributable Session titles. Use those to
produce the first responsibility map. Do not loop over every directory, read
the same template README everywhere, or dump the entire floor through shell
commands. If the indexes leave ambiguity, name it and drill into only the few
desks that matter. A fast, legible first pass is better than an exhaustive file
crawl.

For one desk or coworker:

```bash
alice peer path --id <workspaceId>
alice peer sessions --id <workspaceId>
alice conversation ask --resume-id <resumeId> --prompt "..." --await
# Recruit a fresh coworker for new work:
alice conversation create --ws-id <workspaceId> --prompt "..."
# Explicit historical reconstruction when no attributable Session exists:
alice conversation create --ws-id <workspaceId> --prompt "..." --reconstruct --await
```

This distinction is not cosmetic. `--resume-id` continues the exact coworker
and its working memory. `--ws-id` recruits a fresh worker at that desk. Its
prompt stays ordinary unless `--reconstruct` explicitly asks it to recover
missing historical intent; either way it must not impersonate an absent owner.
Preserve and report `resolution.mode` (`exact` versus `reconstructed`) when the
difference affects the answer.

Use `alice <group> <verb> --help` whenever a flag is uncertain. The
live manifest is authoritative even when an older Workspace carries stale
instructions.

## The manager owns coordination, not business files
