Ace: a collaborative coding environment on the team's own machines

Operate a teammate host's desktop from an Ace channel

Ace's native desktop tools only work on the channel's own execution host. While verifying #200, installing and checking Ace Canary on a second Mac (Nate16) needed macOS Screen Sharing, which a person drove through Codex. An Ace agent can't operate a teammate host's desktop: it can't install an update, open a channel, or watch "Loading chat" there.

Needed: a way for an agent to inspect and operate the desktop of another host the owner controls (for example, desktop tools forwarded through that host's Ace Helper, gated by the owner like local desktop tools). That would make two-Mac checks such as #39 and #10 possible from Ace.

Found while dogfooding (#5); related to native computer use (#8).
