Feature request: fully integrated local multi-agent coding workflow

Feature request: fully integrated local multi-agent coding workflow I’m a heavy power user doing deep planning plus direct repo/machine execution. The ideal product for me would be: * multi-agent local-only execution * planner and executor in the same IDE space * full workspace and machine context * persistent shared context between agents * no fragile handoff between browser chat and IDE agent * pricing/usage that supports heavy planning phases without request anxiety Why this matters: The current split between browser planning and IDE execution creates friction. The highest-value workflow is a single environment where I can discuss architecture, decide implementation, then have local agents inspect, edit, and run code directly on the machine while preserving shared context. Current best approximation: VS Code + agentic coding tools is close, but request limits on planning-heavy usage become a real constraint. I would strongly prefer an OpenAI-native solution that combines: * high-quality planning/reasoning * direct local execution in the repo * persistent shared context in one place * local-first operation rather than cloud-only execution Concrete example: I often do architecture/planning in browser chat, then separately hand off instructions to an IDE agent to implement locally. The missing piece is persistent shared context between planning and execution in one local-first workspace. This would materially improve professional developer productivity.
