+"""
+box-work.py — Fleet Workspace, Work Scope, and Task Orchestration Engine.
+
+Provides unified visibility into:
+- Scope of cloud workers (ports, tunnel status, busy/idle signals)
+- Recent Gitea tickets & build tasks
+- Actions taken (PRs, merges, closed tasks)
+- Active state of related agent chats & main chat
+- Next-action identification & autonomous dispatch (start, assign, merge)
+
+Usable standalone or as `box work` / `super work`. Works on NetVM (bl), VM, or remote PC/VPS.
