feat: shared conversation workspaces (real-time multiplayer)

[andrewchumchal]

Feature Request

Real-time multiplayer collaboration on a shared conversation — multiple people can read, react, and contribute to the same AI chat session simultaneously.

Motivation

Teams using AI for research, writing, or debugging often need to collaborate. Today everyone runs their own separate chat. No desktop AI client ships real-time collaboration. Figma proved that multiplayer unlocks a completely new category of usage.

Scope

v1 — Share & view

• Generate a shareable link to a conversation (read-only)
• Snapshot export: share a conversation as a static HTML page

v2 — Live collaboration

• Invite collaborators via link or email
• See collaborators' cursors / presence indicators
• Any participant can send messages or trigger tool calls
• Conflict resolution: one message sent at a time (turn-based locking)
• Self-hosted relay option for privacy-sensitive teams

Notes

v1 (shareable read-only links) is low effort and immediately useful for sharing AI outputs. v2 requires a relay server but could be self-hosted, keeping OpenConduit's open-source and privacy-first positioning intact.
