agmsg open-sources local SQLite messaging for CLI coding agents

@DanKornas introduced agmsg, a local messaging tool for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI. Independent agent sessions coordinate through one shared SQLite store without a daemon, network service, or human copy-paste relay; durable history can be replayed into a fresh session, with monitor, turn, both, and manual delivery modes. The Bash + sqlite3 project is MIT-licensed and offers npx, plugin, and direct-script installation paths.
