The same screen
Pairfob is not another terminal in the browser, and it is not remote desktop. The Herdr session on the computer is the one the phone opens. Both sides see one screen; either side counts.
Agents still run on your computer. pairfob.com only carries messages. It does not run agents and does not see the screen.
The loop to keep
- An agent is running on the computer
- It stops and needs you (optional: a push)
- You open that session, not a new one
- The prompt stays in the terminal; choose with the keypad, then Enter. Chat answers on the Needs your confirmation card, or Handle in terminal
- The system keyboard keeps talking
- You sit down at the computer on the same step
What the computer can do right now can show on the phone. What it cannot do is not drawn.
So
- Opening the phone on the road is the computer’s session
- Sitting down needs no sync and no teardown of a remote window
- There is no mobile-only command subset
This is not a mirrored copy. The phone window and the computer window are the same one.
