Research direction

Read website/src/content/docs/docs/using-devices/agent-device.mdx and update the commands, example, and messages table. Explain that each agent should set AGENT_DEVICE_SESSION or pass --session, and include both error messages from the issue. Done when the docs cover parallel agents and list both errors; remove the guidance when the upstream fix ships and simlock requires that version.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug:new

When several agents use agent-device through simlock on one machine, commands after open fail unless each agent passes --session (or sets AGENT_DEVICE_SESSION). The errors are No active proxy device lease for this session; run open first. (agent-device CLI) and refused: lease <id> is not one of yours on this gateway (simlock, src/agent-device/front/relay-host-link.ts).

The root cause is in agent-device: without --session, a command falls back to a machine-wide "last saved session" pointer. Upstream: https://github.com/callstack/agent-device/issues/3931

Simlock side: website/src/content/docs/docs/using-devices/agent-device.mdx shows commands with no --session and says nothing about parallel agents. Its messages table lists neither error.

Fix: say that each agent sets its own AGENT_DEVICE_SESSION (or passes --session), show it in the example, and add both messages to the table. Drop this once the upstream fix ships and simlock requires that version.
