## What to do

Wire a button/action on the (authenticated) dashboard that submits a task-runner job equivalent to "pick up epic X and proceed" (per `epics/PICKUP.md`), so Kris doesn't have to leave the dashboard to start a session.

## Definition of done

Clicking an epic on the authenticated control surface starts a real agent session against it, using the same pick-up protocol any manually-typed instruction would trigger.

## Where the work lands

`site/` in this workspace repo, or wherever the authenticated control surface (task 003) ends up living.

## Docs to read first

`epics/PICKUP.md`; task 003 (this depends on the control surface existing first).
