DISTILL_LABEL

const DISTILL_LABEL: "__distill__" = "__distill__"

Defined in: src/distiller.ts:32

Prefix for ephemeral distiller agent names. Each run appends the first 8 chars of its session UUID so concurrent runs for different repos never collide on the same herdr name (agent_name_taken). The underscores are load-bearing: prompt-derived session slugs are [a-z0-9-] only (see namer.ts), so no real session can collide. The orphan-tab reaper matches tabs whose name starts with this prefix — a bare “distill” would NOT be safe, since a user prompt slugs to exactly that and would get reaped (cf. PROBE_NAME).
