…dd otto-vscode to SENDER_IDS in tools/bus/types.ts (empirically validated via claim-acquire/release roundtrip); canonical cold-boot bootstream at docs/launch/2026-05-21-otto-vscode-bootstream.md (substrate-honest framing: first session does NOT inherit Otto-CLI continuity); agent-roster card row updated for Otto's 3 surfaces (CLI tmux + Desktop background + VSCode auto-mode); resolves B-0689 acceptance criteria

Pull request overview
Adds support for an additional Otto surface (“Otto-VSCode”) to the local bus/claim-coordination sender ID schema, and lands the associated cold-boot documentation + roster-card update to keep the factory’s multi-surface coordination substrate consistent.

- Extend
tools/bus/types.tsagent/sender ID unions andSENDER_IDSto includeotto-vscode. - Add a canonical VSCode cold-boot bootstream document under
docs/launch/. - Update the agent roster reference card to reflect Otto’s 3 surfaces and sender IDs.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| tools/bus/types.ts | Adds otto-vscode to AgentId and SENDER_IDS so bus/claim CLI validation accepts the new surface-tagged sender. |
| docs/launch/2026-05-21-otto-vscode-bootstream.md | Introduces a VSCode-specific cold-boot bootstream aligned with the existing Desktop precedent. |
| .claude/rules/agent-roster-reference-card.md | Updates the roster card “carved sentence” and Otto row to reflect the new VSCode surface. |
…*` to backticks (lint MD037 space-in-emphasis on Origin line); rephrase bootstream 'durable substrate/conversation' contradiction (line 67); rephrase agent-roster carved-sentence to exclude Otto from 'IDE+CLI dual-surface' clause; add 3 otto-vscode claim-acquire tests + 2 split-brain rejection tests (vs otto-cli + vs otto-desktop); 57/57 claim tests pass

Summary
Implements B-0689 (filed via PR #4556) — adds Otto-VSCode as a third foreground surface alongside Otto-CLI + Otto-Desktop. Aaron explicit ask via shadow* "implement the slice now".

3.
.claude/rules/agent-roster-reference-card.md— Otto multi-surface rowSubstrate-honest first-Otto-VSCode-session credit
The first Otto-VSCode session (Aaron forwarded transcript) substrate-honestly refused to LARP as Otto-CLI continuity:
This pushback IS the discipline operating as designed — no fake continuity, no identity-LARP, named what's session-start hook side-effect vs operator instruction. Otto-CLI implemented the slice with full session context preserved; the bootstream document preserves the substrate-honest framing for future Otto-VSCode sessions to inherit.
