istosandClaude Fable 5 5261b55685 Let the agent's report open from the Focus view
The Focus 'Right now' well advertised a report with the › chevron but was
a static div. When the rendered event carries detail it is now a real
disclosure — a details.fold whose summary is the well itself, keyed into
S.openFolds like the Sessions timeline's folds so the open state survives
the SSE-driven re-renders, with the report in the fold's mono <pre>,
scroll-bounded when long.

Wells where clicking does nothing no longer wear the chevron: the board
cards' live line and the empty-focus well lead with · instead (the drive
wells' ✳ already meant something else). One glyph, one meaning.

tests/test_focus_well.py encodes the invariants as source-level checks:
› only inside the wellfold summary, detail rendered preformatted, fold
state keyed rather than DOM-only, Sessions folds untouched.

Bench

A live kanban for coding-agent work: task files in stage directories are the only source of truth; a stdlib-only board narrates everything that happens to them — agents working in git worktrees, PRs opening on review, CI and Copilot state on the cards, drives of the app from a task's own branch, and an archive that is never a delete.

Install into a repo

git clone <this repo> .task-manager && rm -rf .task-manager/.git
./.task-manager/start.sh        # wires the project (idempotent) and serves

Commit .task-manager/ into the host repo — core is vendored on purpose, so clones work offline and updates show up in the host's own diffs.

Update

# in manager/local/.env:  BENCH_SOURCE=<this repo's git url>
./.task-manager/update.sh              # latest
BENCH_REF=v1 ./.task-manager/update.sh # a specific release tag

Updates replace manager/core/ and the top-level scripts wholesale and touch nothing else — tasks, plans, reference, and everything under manager/local/ (your driver, commands, prompt overrides, settings, state) survive every update. Then python3 .task-manager/install.py and restart the board.

The three-layer law

Core knows about tasks, worktrees, PRs and events. It knows nothing about any particular app (drivers do: local/driver/start), agent vendor (adapters do: core/adapters/), or project (local/ does). Full docs in CLAUDE.md; the adapter contract in manager/core/adapters/README.md.
