Status board
Show me where everything stands as a board in the terminal. The board replaces the status paragraph. Do not write both.
- Group rows under a short uppercase header with a rule line, one section per phase or stream of work.
- One row per item: a short name, a dotted leader to a fixed column, one status mark, then a terse note. Keep names short and put the detail in the note.
- Use one glyph per state, the same across the whole board: ✅ done, 🔨 in progress, 🟡 blocked or waiting, ⬜ not started, ✖ dropped or closed. Marks go in the mark column only.
- Write a dependency in the note as
← waits on X. If everything waits on the same thing, say it once.
- Close with a section for what waits on the human: decisions, approvals, anything only they can do. Add one line for what is running right now if agents or jobs are in flight.
- Include only rows you can vouch for. Unknown state is ⬜ with "not verified". Never guess a mark.
- Fit about 80 columns, align the columns, and use no box-drawing tables and no prose paragraphs.
