[idea] Add a way to mark an agent as unread again

idea / problem

I use the Agent sidebar notifications as a work queue. When an agent finishes in the background, Herdr shows it as done until I view its tab. Sometimes I open the tab to read the result, but I cannot act on it immediately. Focusing the tab marks the agent as seen and changes it to idle, so I lose the reminder even though work remains.

The blocked state does not solve this because the agent is not necessarily waiting for input. I want a separate user-controlled reminder state.

requested change

Add a way to mark an agent as unread or as needing action after I have viewed it. The action could be available from the agent context menu, sidebar, and a keyboard shortcut.

The reminder should remain until I clear it or the agent starts a new turn. It should not change the agent's actual lifecycle state, such as idle, working, or blocked.

why you want this

This would let me use the Agent sidebar as a reliable task list across several agents. I could inspect a result, defer the work, and still see that it needs action later.
