Three ways to break out of the TUI
The useful stuff: popup dashboard, yolo babysitting, and live session streaming
botctl is most fun when it stops feeling like a pile of terminal panes and starts feeling like something you can actually steer.
Dashboard Popup
Keep a live control panel one keypress away
Launch the dashboard in a tmux popup, keep it alive with --persistent, and jump straight into the Claude pane you care about without losing the bigger picture.
YOLO
Let botctl babysit the boring parts
Turn on yolo for one pane or one workspace and let botctl handle the repetitive safe confirmation flows while keeping the guardrails intact.
Serve
Stream live session state for humans or tooling
Run serve when you want a live event stream, use human output for watching, or switch to JSONL when you want to wire botctl into something bigger.
