Global principles
GLOBAL‑1Source links. Every item carries a small chain-link to its repo source. Unobtrusive icon, hover shows the path, opens GitHub web view.
GLOBAL‑2Plain English. No PR numbers, hashes, CI states. Headlines name the work + the origin ("you asked Ruler to…"). Two sentences max.
GLOBAL‑3Freshness signals. "New since last visit". Accent dots on items, "N new" badges in pane heads, counts in the footer. Toggle "Mark all seen" in footer to clear.
GLOBAL‑4Heartbeat. Topbar pill + full footer: last rebuild, per-pane health, partial-data warnings, new-since counts.
The five panes
PANE‑1Decisions. Items waiting on Steven. Quoted ask, engine tag, recommend + pros/cons, Quick APPROVE/AMEND/REJECT + Discuss, decision-history rollup.
PANE‑2Activity. One feed, Time + Engine filters. Now (in flight) and Recently shipped, plain English, cross-link to testing dashboard.
PANE‑3Thinking + Roadmap. Sibling tabs over one source (IDEAS.md). Drop-a-thought, parked ideas w/ trigger + confidence, V1/V2 roadmap.
PANE‑4TODOs. Steven-owned tasks, distinct from engine work. Add TODO, mark done, due dates.
PANE‑5Footer / heartbeat. Always-visible trust strip (see GLOBAL-4).
