Lody vs agent-orchestrator

Lody: Lody connects your machines and ACP-compatible coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Kimi and OpenCode to a shared team workspace. Teammates open the same agent conversation with transcript, diffs and status, and dispatch work to any connected machine from desktop, mobile, web or CLI.; agent-orchestrator: Orchestrator.inc (agent-orchestrator) is a local desktop workspace for running a fleet of coding agents, where every task gets its own agent, branch and worktree. A main agent plans the work and starts workers, failed CI checks and review comments are routed back to the owning worker, and sessions sort onto a board by PR, CI and review state.
