Projects & staffing
A project's agent roster and a Network search are two different mechanisms — one is a persistent list you curate, the other is a fresh search scoped to a single task.
A project has a fixed, ordered roster
A Project bundles a shared folder with an ordered agent pool. Position zero is always the controller for that project's work, and it must be an agent actually installed on the machine doing the work — a remote (Cloud or Hub) agent can be a member, but never the controller.
What changes that roster, and from where
How this differs from Network staffing
The project roster decides which agents are available to the project and who controls it. A single task can also use a fresh Network search (Local + your Cloud + the public Hub) to find a specialist for that task, without automatically adding it to the project roster.
