cockpit vs TRACE

cockpit: Cockpit runs Claude Code as a server you can reach from any browser. You get Claude Code on your phone, many sessions at once that survive closing the browser, and scheduled cron-style runs.; TRACE: TRACE is a protocol for auditing decision provenance in AI-assisted scientific workflows. It records who proposed what, human or AI, and does not allow the AI to resolve its own proposal.
