CircleIt's visual feedback routing from non-technical team members directly into coding agent sessions becomes an adopted pattern for closing the human-agent feedback loop.

What is this?
CircleIt is a Show HN release (Chrome extension + coding agent plugin) by mintone that lets non-technical users circle elements on a web page and route that visual feedback directly into a coding agent session for fixes. The web search returned general literature on human-agent feedback loops and visual feedback patterns (Tweag handbook, MindStudio, Fowler, etc.) but no mentions of CircleIt or mintone specifically — the supplied snippets do not independently verify the product, its adoption, or the creator.
Why it matters to Scott
CircleIt is an independent implementation (by mintone) of the visual-feedback-routing pattern Scott's Agent-Native Computing framework prescribes at the human-legible boundary, and his dev projects (Superlever, OurPerfectEmployee, AIDiscoveryUI, All-in-one software's founder's office) have been building. The radar already tracks Devbar doing nearly the same thing — multiple external arrivals at the same architectural pattern.
