## Update (2026-11-10 03:29:19)
## Rich discovery update (2026-11-10 03:29:19)
All six workspaces are built and running in the `paperclip-harness` session. Screenshots in `/tmp/mockups/`: `board-live.png`, `work-live.png`, `reply-live.png`, `new-live.png`, `project-live.png`, `repair-live.png`.
## What you will see when you open it
```
workspace 1 shell a prompt in the project folder
workspace 2 board tasks by group · the chosen task · needs you
workspace 3 work runs · change · facts
workspace 4 reply thread · reply box
workspace 5 new the form that makes a task
workspace 6 project folder, machine, session, costs, verify command
workspace 7 repair health checks · live layout
```
One frame, one palette, one footer everywhere. Focus is a bright rounded edge plus `·focus·`. Every panel says when it last read.
## New since you left
**Project** — folder, machine, session, project identity, the six agents with their state, and a costs tab that reads each task's spend from Paperclip (`total, recent: 8 cents over 8 runs`). Read-only on purpose: a screen that changes settings is a screen that breaks a project while nobody is looking. It also shows the verify command in force, and where it came from.
**Repair** — three-state checks, never two: pass, fail, not run. It currently passes everything:
```
Paperclip answers · project file · harness binary · git · go · ocr · tuios · lazygit · hunk
Nerd Font 384 font files
```
plus a layout tab showing what TUIOS actually has right now, read live, with the note that panels are found by name because closing the last pane deletes a workspace and renumbers the rest.
## Icons
The font is installed, so the panels now ask for Nerd Font icons by default (`-ascii` switches to plain characters). I still could not confirm they draw, because TUIOS's own screen capture returns blanks for private-use glyphs — that is a limit of the capture path, not necessarily of the display. Every icon has its word next to it, so nothing is lost if they do not appear. If they are still invisible in Ghostty, tell me and I will switch the default back with one line.
## Two bugs the screens found
- The Project screen read the wrong key out of `harness.toml` and showed "no project given"; the section prefix was missing. Fixed and verified.
- The Conversation screen was opened with the task pinned on the command line, so it never followed the board. Now `bin/board` opens it without a task, and I watched it switch from `AUD-166` to `AUD-162` a few seconds after only the harness file changed. Sending from the new box posts as you — the test comment landed on the task with `authorType: user`.
Also fixed: a truncation routine that appended an ellipsis even when nothing was cut, which is why several lines ended in `…` for no reason.
## Honest gaps
- Project has no write actions yet (settings are read-only).
- Repair checks but does not repair: no rebuild button, deliberately, because rebuilding would close the pane you are standing in.
- The TUIOS theme is set in the config (`catppuccin_mocha`) but the running session keeps its old chrome until it is restarted.
- The `board` workspaces are 7 panes now; `bin/board --replace` rebuilds them all by name and I ran it to prove it, ending with exactly one pane per workspace.
Committed as `351cb35`. Next, when you are back: tell me which of the six you want refined first, and whether the icons appear on your screen.

## Update (2026-11-10 03:29:19)
Deliverables: built six (plus shell = seven) styled TUI workspaces in the paperclip-harness TUIOS session — shell, board, work, reply, new, project, repair — with a single frame/palette/footer convention and '·focus·' focus indicator. Artifacts: live screenshots /tmp/mockups/{board,work,reply,new,project,repair}-live.png; commits c9a1a61 (Project and Repair workspaces; adoption keeps own pane; truncation fix), 031073f (Conversation/Author screens styled; glyph policy from measurement), 351cb35 (reply follows chosen task; board opens without pinning). Validation: ran `bin/board --replace` to rebuild workspaces by name ending with one pane each; verified reply box posts as user (authorType: user); verified reply workspace follows board from AUD-166 to AUD-162 when only the harness file changed; fixed Project wrong-key harness.toml read and ellipsis-when-nothing-cut bug. Follow-up: user to choose which workspace to refine first; confirm Nerd Font icons visible in Ghostty (else revert default with one line); Project write actions, Repair rebuild button, and theme restart remain deliberately open.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 85%
- Reason: Concrete completed-work summary with artifacts, validation, and follow-ups.

## Update (2026-11-10 03:29:19)
Project costs tab reads each task's spend from Paperclip and shows per-task rows (task, state, cents, runs) plus footer 'total, recent: N cent(s) over N run(s)' with the note 'costs come from Paperclip; nothing is added up twice' (i.e., no double counting). Observed example: AUD-159..AUD-166 where done tasks had 1-3 cents, todo tasks 0 cents; total 8 cents over 8 runs. Repair layout tab reads TUIOS live state: workspaces by name with panes-per-workspace map (e.g. {1:2,2:1,...}) and 'workspaces in use'. Panels are found by name because closing the last pane deletes a workspace and renumbers the rest. Repair checks are three-state (pass/fail/not run): Paperclip answers, project file, harness binary, git, go, ocr, tuios, lazygit, hunk; Nerd Font = 384 font files. Repair adopted workspace 7 after rebuild; 'bin/board --replace' rebuilds all workspaces by name, leaving exactly one pane per workspace.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 85%
- Reason: Concrete evidence-backed UI/behavior facts discovered during the turn.

## Update (2026-11-10 03:29:19)
Operational caveats for paperclip-harness in TUIOS: (a) Panels/workspaces must be looked up by name, not index, because closing the last pane deletes a workspace and renumbers remaining ones. (b) TUIOS screen capture returns blanks for private-use (Nerd Font) glyphs — icons may render fine on screen but be unverifiable via capture; every icon has its word label next to it, and '-ascii' flag switches to plain characters. (c) TUIOS theme is set to catppuccin_mocha in config but the running session keeps its old chrome until restarted. (d) The Conversation/reply workspace must be opened without a task argument so it follows the board's chosen task; passing a task pins it.
## Detailed observations from completed turn
All six workspaces are built and running in the `paperclip-harness` session. Screenshots in `/tmp/mockups/`: `board-live.png`, `work-live.png`, `reply-live.png`, `new-live.png`, `project-live.png`, `repair-live.png`.

# paperclip-harness TUI: six-workspace build, screens, and bug fixes (351cb35)
Session context: working in /tmp/pc-sandbox-2026-11-10 on the 'paperclip-harness' session / workspace spike-2026-11-10. Built out six styled TUI workspaces in TUIOS session 'paperclip-harness': (1) shell — prompt in project folder, (2) board — tasks by group/chosen task/needs you, (3) work — runs/change/facts, (4) reply — thread/reply box, (5) new — task creation form, (6) project — folder/machine/session/identity/agents/costs/verify command (read-only), (7) repair — three-state checks (pass/fail/not run) + layout tab. Live screenshots at /tmp/mockups/{board,work,reply,new,project,repair}-live.png. Design conventions: one frame/palette/footer everywhere; focus = bright rounded edge plus '·focus·'; every panel shows its last-read timestamp. Project costs tab reads per-task spend from Paperclip (e.g. 'total, recent: 8 cent(s) over 8 run(s)', no double counting) and is deliberately read-only. Bugs found/fixed: Project screen read wrong key from harness.toml (missing section prefix) showing 'no project given'; Conversation screen was pinned to a task on the command line so never followed the board — bin/board now opens it without a task and it switches tasks when the harness file changes; truncation routine appended ellipsis even when nothing was cut. Reply box posting works (test comment landed with authorType: user). Commits: 351cb35 (reply follows chosen task; board opens without pinning), c9a1a61 (Project and Repair workspaces; adoption keeps person's own pane; truncation fix), 031073f (Conversation and Author screens styled; glyph policy from measurement). Open questions/gaps: Project has no write actions yet; Repair checks but doesn't repair (no rebuild button — would close current pane); TUIOS theme set to catppuccin_mocha in config but running session keeps old chrome until restart; Nerd Font icons default (‑ascii switches to plain) but capture path returns blanks for private-use glyphs so drawing unconfirmed — need user to confirm in Ghostty. Next step: user to pick which of six workspaces to refine first and confirm icon visibility.

## Final answer snapshot
All six workspaces are built and running in the `paperclip-harness` session. Screenshots in `/tmp/mockups/`: `board-live.png`, `work-live.png`, `reply-live.png`, `new-live.png`, `project-live.png`, `repair-live.png`.
## What you will see when you open it
```
workspace 1 shell a prompt in the project folder
workspace 2 board tasks by group · the chosen task · needs you
workspace 3 work runs · change · facts
workspace 4 reply thread · reply box
workspace 5 new the form that makes a task
workspace 6 project folder, machine, session, costs, verify command
workspace 7 repair health checks · live layout
```
One frame, one palette, one footer everywhere. Focus is a bright rounded edge plus `·focus·`. Every panel says when it last read.
## New since you left
**Project** — folder, machine, session, project identity, the six agents with their state, and a costs tab that reads each task's spend from Paperclip (`total, recent: 8 cents over 8 runs`). Read-only on purpose: a screen that changes settings is a screen that breaks a project while nobody is looking. It also shows the verify command in force, and where it came from.
**Repair** — three-state checks, never two: pass, fail, not run. It currently passes everything:
```
Paperclip answers · project file · harness binary · git · go · ocr · tuios · lazygit · hunk
Nerd Font 384 font files
```
plus a layout tab showing what TUIOS actually has right now, read live, with the note that panels are found by name because closing the last pane deletes a workspace and renumbers the rest.
## Icons
The font is installed, so the panels now ask for Nerd Font icons by default (`-ascii` switches to plain characters). I still could not confirm they draw, because TUIOS's own screen capture returns blanks for private-use glyphs — that is a limit of the capture path, not necessarily of the display. Every icon has its word next to it, so nothing is lost if they do not appear. If they are still invisible in Ghostty, tell me and I will switch the default back with one line.
## Two bugs the screens found
- The Project screen read the wrong key out of `harness.toml` and showed "no project given"; the section prefix was missing. Fixed and verified.
- The Conversation screen was opened with the task pinned on the command line, so it never followed the board. Now `bin/board` opens it without a task, and I watched it switch from `AUD-166` to `AUD-162` a few seconds after only the harness file changed. Sending from the new box posts as you — the test comment landed on the task with `authorType: user`.
Also fixed: a truncation routine that appended an ellipsis even when nothing was cut, which is why several lines ended in `…` for no reason.
## Honest gaps
- Project has no write actions yet (settings are read-only).
- Repair checks but does not repair: no rebuild button, deliberately, because rebuilding would close the pane you are standing in.
- The TUIOS theme is set in the config (`catppuccin_mocha`) but the running session keeps its old chrome until it is restarted.
- The `board` workspaces are 7 panes now; `bin/board --replace` rebuilds them all by name and I ran it to prove it, ending with exactly one pane per workspace.
Committed as `351cb35`. Next, when you are back: tell me which of the six you want refined first, and whether the icons appear on your screen.

Choosing a task on the board and pressing Enter writes it into the project's
`.harness/harness.toml`, and every other workspace follows within a second.
### Refresh and rebuild
- **`r`** — read the data again in this panel. Nothing closes, nothing moves, the
layout is untouched. Use it when the numbers look stale.
- **`R`** — rebuild everything: `bin/board --replace` closes each pane the layout
owns and builds all seven again, in order. It runs detached in its own session,
because the panel you pressed it in is one of the panes being replaced; the
output is written to `/tmp/paperclip-harness-rebuild.log`, and the Repair
workspace shows that log on its third tab.
`R` is on every screen except the new-task form, where letters are text.
## How an interface change is tested
Not in a plain terminal, and not in tmux. TUIOS owns part of the keyboard and forwards
