Agent Breadcrumbs – Unified Work Log Across Claude, Codex, OpenClaw

Turns every agent client into a unified work log via a tiny MCP server and a single log_work call. Schema profiles and multiple sinks (jsonl, webhook, Postgres) let teams standardize payloads once and collect logs from Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw or cron jobs. Practical and low-friction — useful as an ops-level glue — but the dashboard is an in-repo MVP and delivery semantics (retries/schema evolution) will determine if it scales beyond a small team.
