# File Locks Endpoint

`GET /api/v1/dashboard/file_locks`

Return active file locks grouped by agent for the dashboard.

Reads the persisted lock state from ``.sdd/runtime/file_locks.json`` and
returns it in a dashboard-friendly format with both a flat list and an
agent-grouped view.

Returns:
    JSON with ``all_locks`` (flat list sorted by path), ``locks_by_agent``
    (dict keyed by agent_id with files list + task info + elapsed_s),
    ``count`` (total lock count), and ``ts`` (generation timestamp).
