1Project header carries a small mono # 14 count chip (hover / always) — 11 open + 3 snoozed, never counting done. Clicking it, or the pinned "Tasks" row beneath, opens this surface. The chip mirrors the ledger exactly; the honesty contract that keeps the surface alive.

2One thin filter row is the entire chrome: segmented text counts, right-aligned search, a "Group: none ▾" ghost. No toolbar, no view switcher, no board.

3Pinned tasks float to a top group with a pin glyph; everything below sorts stable by id desc. Rows never reorder on status change — a stable list is what makes a 300-row ledger trustworthy.

4Signal chips render only when true: amber blocked (with the dependency named), sky pulsing live attempt, ↗ when promoted to GitHub, faint "dup?" hint. A quiet row is a quiet row.

5#249 was suggested by an agent mid-thread — it sits in the ledger as a proposal with inline Accept · Dismiss; nothing enters the count until a human accepts.

6Done collapses into a "Done · 41" tail section, same gesture as the sidebar's Settled tail — finished work settles downward instead of cluttering the working set.

Focus ring lost after closing command palette with Esc

▸ Start Snooze Done •••

Esc closes the palette but focus returns to <body>, so the ring disappears until the user tabs. Repro on Safari + Chrome. Likely the restoreFocus path in usePalette.

Focus ring bug — #245 Working now

Focus ring repro spike Failed 3w

▸ History · 7 events

1Selecting a row opens detail beside the list — the T3 diff-panel pattern. Selection ≠ navigation: the ledger never leaves the screen, so triage keeps its rhythm.

2Panel header = identity, status, flags, age, then Start (primary) · Snooze · Done · ••• (Drop, Promote to GitHub, Copy id). Everything destructive or rare hides behind •••.

3Provenance is first-class: origin thread, age, and the exact quoted excerpt that spawned the task, with "Open origin thread →" jumping to the anchored chip in the timeline.

4Attempts are threads, each wearing its own thread-status pill. A failed attempt does not touch the task: it stays Open until a human marks it Done.

B4 · CAPTURE MID-CONVERSATION — LOG MODE + CONFIRMATION CHIP

the flicker is back when the socket drops on a big workspace — can you chase it down?

Reproduced with 240 threads. The reconnect handler re-mounts the whole virtual list; I'll debounce the reconnect events and diff the thread snapshot instead.

Logging a task — won't interrupt the agent

# reconnect also wipes whatever I had typed in the composer claude · opus

1The agent's Working pill stays sky and pulsing the entire time — capture never interrupts a run.

2Plan chip = the agent's execution checklist: chevron, pip segment bar, current step, 4/7. Deliberately distinct from tasks — pips mean "the run's steps", never "your ledger".

3Confirmation is this inline chip and nothing else — no toast. The chip IS the provenance anchor: #245-style detail links back to this exact spot in the timeline, so confirmation and provenance are one object.

4Typing # first flips the composer to log mode: thin indigo top border + hint line. Enter logs to this project's ledger and quietly returns the composer to normal.

5Chip anatomy: #246 mono id, inferred title, small "Logged" affirmation. One line, subtle border — never a card, no pips.

…and the ledger row, meanwhile

📌#245 Focus ring lost after closing command palette… attempt · working Open 6w

1Start defaults to a new focused thread, seeded from the task; the provider + model chip (codex · gpt-5.3) is selectable — tasks are provider-neutral by design. "Continue here" reuses the current thread instead.

2Task status ≠ run status. The row wears a sky pulsing "attempt · working" chip while the status pill stays Open — "in progress" is a property of the attempt thread, never of the task.

B2 · EMPTY LEDGER — A NEW PROJECT

#

Nothing logged yet. While an agent works, type # in the composer — or just say "log that as a task."

·No count chip on the project header while the ledger is empty — the chip only exists when it has something honest to say. Empty state teaches the capture gesture, not the surface.

Verification

Swapped the legacy renderer for @pierre/diffs v3 behind a flag, soaked for a week, removed the flag. Word-level highlights now match upstream; no perf regression at 4k-line diffs.

✓ pnpm test — 214 passed ▣ screenshot diff +38 −6

·Done is a claim with receipts: agent summary + evidence chips (tests, screenshot, diff stat) and a ghost Reopen. Reopening restores the row to its stable id-desc slot — no reshuffle.

Reconnect flicker fix

Working

the flicker is back on big workspaces — chase it down?

Reproduced with 240 threads. Debouncing the reconnect events and diffing the snapshot instead of re-mounting the list.

#246 Composer loses draft on reconnect Logged

Logging a task — won't interrupt the agent

# reconnect also wipes my draft

# Log task @ File ／ Command

·The # chip lives in the accessory bar above the keyboard; tapping it (or typing #) flips the composer to log mode — same indigo top border, same hint, same inline chip confirmation as web. One gesture, both platforms.
