@@ -20,7 +20,9 @@ Everything in the office, room by room. Back to the [README](../README.md).
 - **Minesweeper on the boss's monitor.** In the boss's chair, **E** plays Minesweeper on the monitor: the camera moves in close and the board sits right on the screen. Click to dig, right-click (or Shift-click) to flag, and click a number to dig around it once its mines are flagged. The first click is never a mine. **Stop playing** leaves your game up on the monitor, with its clock paused, until you come back. Walk off to get up.
 - **Pick your character.** The first time you join, a character select screen lets you choose your name, skin tone, hair style, hair color and shirt, with a spinning preview. No name in mind? Leave it blank (or skip the screen) and you go by the made-up one shown in the box, like *Sunny Otter*, or press **🎲** for another. The office remembers your name and look in that browser, so you only pick once. Change it any time from **⚙️** or by clicking your name under *In the office* (turn on **👥 People** in the **☰** menu).
 - **Hire workers.** Walk up to an empty desk and press **E** to choose Claude Code, OpenCode or Codex, or press **P** to write a task first. A little worker sits down, a laptop opens, and the agent's live screen appears on it. Choose the agent for each queue task too.
-- **Bean bags for the overflow.** There are 16 desks. Once they're all taken, a bean bag comes out on the floor with a low lap desk in front of it. Hire a worker there the same way as at a desk, and the next bean bag comes out, up to 12 around the room. The task queue seats workers on them too. A bean bag stays out while a worker sits on it, and the empty one goes away again as soon as a desk frees up.
+- **Signs over the desks.** Press **L** at any desk, empty or not, to hang a big sign from the ceiling over it: *Operations*, *Code cleanup*, *Frontend*, whatever that desk is for. Type up to 32 characters (or pick one of the ideas), choose one of seven colors and press **Enter**. It hangs over the far edge of the desk, facing the chair, so it reads over the shoulder of whoever sits there; while the desk back to back with it has no sign of its own, it says the same on the back, so you can read it from across the room either way. Everyone on the floor sees it, the hint at the desk names it, and it stays up across restarts. **L** again changes it or takes it down. Each floor has its own.
+- **Room to grow.** When a floor needs more desks, the north wall past the gong comes down. Walk up to the yellow **🚧 Room to grow** sign on it and press **E**, then **🔨 Knock through**: the wall goes, and a back office opens behind it with a pair of desks, a rug, a lamp and a window, in a puff of confetti. Knock through once more and it goes back another row, for two more desks (two rows is as far as it goes before the street behind the building). New workers, and the task queue, take its desks once the room's are full, before any bean bag comes out. The sign moves to the back wall, where **E** can also wall the last row back up, once nobody's working there. Each floor is built out on its own, and from outside you see it: the back office sticks out of that storey, on posts down to the lawn.
+- **Bean bags for the overflow.** There are 16 desks, and up to 4 more in the back office. Once they're all taken, a bean bag comes out on the floor with a low lap desk in front of it. Hire a worker there the same way as at a desk, and the next bean bag comes out, up to 12 around the room. The task queue seats workers on them too. A bean bag stays out while a worker sits on it, and the empty one goes away again as soon as a desk frees up.
 - **Shared shells.** Press **B** at an empty desk to open a plain login shell for dev servers, git or tests. It's shared the same way as a Claude terminal.
 - **Isolated branches.** When you hire with a task, you can tick *own git worktree*. The worker then gets its own `office/<name>` branch under `.agent-office/worktrees/`, so parallel workers never share a checkout. The branch starts from the latest on GitHub, pull requests merged since anyone last pulled included, so a task never undoes the one before it. When you send that worker home you choose whether to keep the worktree and branch, delete the worktree, or delete both, and the office warns you first about uncommitted changes or commits no remote has. `agent-office prune` clears out whatever was kept, once it is safe. Under **⚙️** → *Workers whose pull request merged*, anyone can have them go home by themselves once their pull request merges: as soon as one isn't working or waiting on you and nobody has its terminal open, it leaves and its worktree and branch are deleted. Uncommitted changes, or commits that aren't on GitHub, keep the worktree, as when you send it home. It's off until someone turns it on, and turning it on sends home the ones already merged.
 - **One task across several projects.** Many systems are split over repositories (an api, an admin, a web app), and one change often needs two or three of them. When you hire a worker in its own worktree, **🗂️ Also work in** lists the building's other floors: pick the projects the task spans (in the hire dialog, or in **🤖 Hand to a worker** / **✍️ Ask a worker** from the boards). The worker starts in a workspace folder with a worktree of each project in it, all on the same `office/<name>` branch, and a short brief (as `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`) saying which folder is which. It works across them, tests them together and commits in each. **O** then opens a pull request in every project it committed to, and each description lists all of them, so they're reviewed and merged as one change. The issue the task came from is closed by the home floor's PR and linked from the others. Press **O** again for each project's PR, with a button to open the ones still missing. The Changes window has a tab per project, sending the worker home checks and deletes every worktree, and *Workers whose pull request merged* waits until the PRs in every project have merged. The brief can be rewritten in ⚙️ Settings like the office's other prompts.

 ### Seats
 
-Every map has the same seats, by id, so that the server, the task queue, meetings and saved workers work on any of them: 16 regular seats (`desk-1` to `desk-16`), 12 more that come out once those are taken (`beanbag-1` to `beanbag-12`), the three board agents' places and the five meeting chairs. The tables' seats are handed out in order: first the side of every table toward the middle of the hall (its inner side), table by table in the order they're listed, then their other sides the same way. Along a table they go from one end to the other, north to south for one that runs along z. So `desk-1` is the first seat on the first table's inner side, and a map's tables must seat at least 28 between them; any seats past that are just bench.
