AI coding agent workbenches

This cluster comprises desktop workbench applications for managing and running multiple AI coding agents locally, with features like session management, DAG visualization, Git worktree support, and per-project task controls. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two entries predate the index, leaving the early growth pattern unclear. Magpie leads on traction with 3,198 stars, followed by PiX (188) and bivor (208).
