🤖 Filed by Claude Code on Kai's behalf.

scripts/agent-name.sh accepts the name from coily agent-name only when it matches claude-* (and is [a-z0-9-]-clean):

if [[ "$name" != claude-* || "$name" == *[^a-z0-9-]* ]]; then
  name="$(local_name)"
fi

So a coily-emitted codex-… or openclaw-… name is rejected and the script silently falls back to the claude-only local_name (now claude-…-she-her). The prefix-swap that FEATURES and the AGENTS doctrine describe ("Codex and OpenClaw swap the claude- prefix") was never actually wired through this gate.

Impact today: none. Codex and OpenClaw run their own harnesses, not this Claude Code status-line / SessionStart hook, so the gate only ever sees claude- names. Filed so the gap is tracked, not because it bites now.

Fix sketch: widen the accept pattern to claude-* | codex-* | openclaw-* (or validate the slug shape rather than the prefix), and teach local_name to derive the prefix + pronoun slug from the actual agent rather than hardcoding claude / she-her. Came out of the agent-pronouns work (#104, coilyco-bridge/coily#157).
