 # Changelog
 
+## 0.14.1 - 2026-10-17
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Align published Platform and contract dependencies with the current framework releases.
+
+## 0.14.0 - 2026-10-16
+
+### Added
+
+- The typed Inbox query and headless `attention.projection(snapshot)` expose `you`, `agents`, `resolved` and `parked` lanes, with audience labels and separate source diagnostics.
+- `work-board mcp <dir>` serves the read-only `board_overview`, `needs_you` and `item` tools over stdio using Effect's MCP server. Tools query the running board's Unix socket for the same computed state as the browser and explain how to start a board when none answers.
+- Serve the same NDJSON RPC over `<dir>/board.sock` alongside the browser's TCP listener. Each directory has its own socket with owner-only access from creation; serialized startup replaces stale sockets and refuses a live or starting board, and shutdown removes the socket, including SIGINT and SIGTERM. Private bind paths use no more pathname bytes than the public socket path.
+- Add the `work-board.server` query returning `{ url, directory }` with the board's browser URL and absolute board directory on both transports. Export its `Server` schema from `@shivaedev/work-board/rpc/Server.ts`.
+- The typed `fleetItems` Board query reads current Fleet stages, waiting owners, PR URLs and persisted times through the Diagnostics daemon client, joins unique Board documents by ID, and returns `unavailable` with a reason for failed reads or a disabled (`fleetPort: null`) daemon. The shared `DiagnosticsContract` adds `daemon.fleetItems`, backed by `FleetItem`, `CompletedFleetItem` and `FleetItems` schemas. `FleetStage` and `FleetTimestamp` are also available through the diagnostics integration. Legacy stage entry and completion times remain unknown until an observed transition.
+- `FleetItemsProjection` describes the Board result. The shared `readDaemon(port, read)` transport and `daemonUnavailableReason(error, port)` explanation are available from `diagnostics/daemon.ts`.
+- The typed `goals` query returns open projects with counts of linked work by authored status, criterion-level work and recorded evidence counts, and open ask counts. Missing statuses stay not recorded and unlinked goals are explicit; progress has no computed completion percentage or overall success flag.
+- Project pages open with the goals query's done, in progress and planned counts and Inbox-aligned open-ask count before answer cards, followed by criteria with progress, linked work and recorded evidence before authored Markdown. Empty work groups, untargeted criteria labels and absent evidence stay quiet. Each work row has one held Fleet stage or authored status chip; missing status and PR stay blank.
+- The document query's optional `referenceDetails` record supplies each resolved reference's title and recorded status alongside the existing reference URLs.
+- Recognize `goal` and `report` item kinds in frontmatter and the portable metadata schema.
+- Document reading-context backlinks include optional `title` and `status` fields for consumers that render source references.
+- The command palette offers navigation to Today, Goals, Now, Library, System and active goals alongside appearance commands. Search results show item IDs, kinds and status chips.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Open requests show an answer card directly below the item header, using the existing response form and retained drafts. The separate respond link opens and focuses that card.
+- Managed decisions use the unblocked item's title, render their reason as Markdown, and show the complete question once, including unfenced multi-paragraph reasons. Page and card headings name the unblocked item. Generated identities stay in Source instead of the item header.
+- Decisions can use frontmatter options and a recommended choice. Answer cards lead with the recommendation and relevant PR actions, and directive choices use human labels. Decision and question headers show request state and omit missing fields. Response validation waits for an attempt, with the last saved local author label prefilled.
+- Typed document requests include optional `title` and `sourceOpen` fields; `DocumentViewProps` accepts an optional `answer` node below the header.
+- `documentHtml` accepts optional answer-card HTML, and `composerHtml` accepts an optional card title.
+- Open requests also show their answer cards under the headers of the items they unblock, preserving the request's reviewed source and choices.
+- Answer cards record with one action and keep author labels, draft tools and response details under More. Read-only cards show one line explaining how to enable answers.
+- The workspace has five views: Today, Goals, Now, Library and System. Retired destinations redirect to their current view; System lists running and waiting Fleet items by title, stage and PR beside provider limits.
+- Browser pages use Tailwind and shared React primitives and require JavaScript.
+- Goal and criterion `counts` now always contain `done`, `"in progress"` and `planned`, including zeros. Held Fleet stages override authored status; released stages fall back to authored status. Deferred and unrecorded work count as planned. `goals(snapshot, fleet?)` accepts an optional Fleet projection. Internal Inbox rows retain their `unblocks` targets for goal-specific counts; browser Inbox projections keep their existing shape.
+- Goals shows compact progress cards with next actions, positive open-ask counts and single-line done/total rows for linked criteria. Zero-count metadata stays quiet, and closed goals sit in one collapsed section.
+- Identified documents open with a sticky title, kind icon, status, owner, next action and header actions. Known Fleet items show their execution stage and PR link. Criteria, target titles and statuses, and backlinks grouped by kind appear in an open responsive rail; source location and raw frontmatter have a Source tab. Markdown uses a 68ch reading column with 16px prose.
+- Use a neutral light and dark Board shell, shared status chips with icons and semantic colours, and a single header settings popover for theme, density and live-update preferences.
+- Open Work on a Now board with fixed Fleet stage lanes, tasks only, one Fleet-derived state chip, and holder, PR and time in stage only when known. Disclose authored-status fallback when Fleet is unavailable; keep All work and Table as explicit choices. Queue Fleet-prepared or authored approved waiting tasks, use authored status only without a matching Fleet item, and collapse saved views and filters behind Filter on Now.
+- Exclude decision, question, response, result and request receipt records from Work lists. Keep status column order independent of row sorting and virtualize lists over 200 rows in bounded scrolling containers.
+- Keep Today, Goals, Now and Search in a bottom phone navigation bar, with Library and System in a More sheet. Use a compact sticky phone header and omit keyboard hints on touch devices.
+- Replace the sidebar file tree with counted destinations, pinned documents, active goal status bars and five recent documents. Browse document titles, kind/status filters, lazy folders and modification order in Library; generated Fleet records stay hidden until requested.
+- Open on Today with human asks, compact ask rows with option answers in popovers, compact goal progress with next actions clamped to two lines and collapsed criteria, and up to eight Fleet-held items with their stages and PR links. Keep configured home Markdown reachable as Workspace notes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Inbox, Overview and navigation badges share the maintainer lane count. Open requests for other labels remain visible under Waiting on agents, including requests without a registered question. Invalid managed requests remain source diagnostics rather than counted asks.
+- Share the navigation query between route loaders and the React shell instead of requesting the workspace tree again for each selected file. Document navigation shows the new document or a loading message as the URL changes, and returning before a read completes cannot display that late result over the returned page or overwrite its saved reading details.
+- Opening unchanged indexed documents reuses their parsed metadata and workspace model. Backlinks are resolved once per model instead of scanning every document's links on each open; the selected source is still read to detect edits before watcher notification.
+- Inbox and navigation counts reuse revision-scoped question, response and receipt indexes, instead of validating every response again for every question and document request. Source changes refresh those indexes and counts while preserving ambiguous and malformed history outcomes.
+- Goal criteria and linked-work tables include every identified implementing item, including results, decisions, questions and responses. The goals query returns these items alongside its counts, including links to closed projects.
+- Completed and closed project pages show query-derived progress bars and criterion counts. The goals query adds `closedGoals` with the same fields as active `goals`; active-goal navigation remains filtered to open projects.
+- Keep managed asks for closed or deferred target work in collapsed Inbox groups, group repeated active managed or registered asks by target item, and count only main-list rows in the Inbox badges without editing sources.
+- Add `resolved` and `parked` arrays and per-row `earlierAsks` to the Inbox query projection.
+- Criterion and recorded-evidence passage links leave their targets visible below the sticky item header.
+- Item backlinks show source titles and status, with file locations in tooltips. Criteria use one recorded-evidence count instead of repeating missing-evidence notices.
+- Source diagnostics recognize Fleet-owned frontmatter fields while continuing to report unowned fields.
+- Item links open the same document with or without a trailing slash on direct loads and in-app navigation, including IDs ending in `.md` and IDs that collide with a Markdown file path. Item URLs select identities rather than colliding files; unknown IDs show an explicit missing-item message.
+- Keep Files and Inbox controls named for assistive technology when their visible labels are hidden on narrow screens.
+- Print documents at full width when the Files sidebar is open.
+- Recognize planned, active and received statuses with neutral, working and recorded-response icons.
+- Restore the theme before the first paint and apply its background to the page root as well as the body.
+- Let every available Fleet stage decide the task lane despite inactive authored statuses, including prepared and human-waiting work. Keep Done limited to known completions in the last seven days.
+- Keep approved waiting tasks queued when Fleet addon fields are recognized without diagnostics.
+- Missing authored values stay blank across reading and work views, including PR links in System’s Fleet work. Provenance explanations use tooltips or Source records in the React views. Attention-request passage links reveal the Source tab before scrolling and focusing the record, including direct, search, same-document and Back navigation. Repeated source titles expand from one counted line, and each backlink source appears under its most specific kind.
+- Managed answer cards use the Inbox’s active request eligibility. Answer cards and needs-you summary chips stay hidden on closed work, even when a question retains an explicit open attention request.
+- Sidebar goal bars name their done count for assistive technology and hover; only Today and Now show navigation counts. Now lanes keep equal widths and single-line headers. Today’s in-progress work follows its human asks without a gap from the goals column, and one open ask uses the singular.
+- Track Today health through its Inbox, Goals and Fleet queries, and retry failed reads when reopening Today.
+- Search ranks items before headings and passages, open work before closed and deferred work, then title and ID matches before body matches and recently changed sources before older ones. Fleet records, including `fleet/status.md` and `responses/fleet-report.*`, require `records:`. Snippets omit structured metadata, each anchor appears once, and rows without a recorded status omit the status chip.
+- With `records:`, Fleet and ordinary item results share the same status, relevance and recency ordering before every heading and passage hit, including when only the item's body matches. Matching go-to commands replace item results with the same destination.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- Removed the browser-local comparison API: `workContract.queries.history`, `workContract.queries.overview`, `HistoryInput`, `HistoryOutput`, `OverviewProjection` and the `history/` entry points. The `page/board.ts` and `page/document.ts` server HTML entry points are removed.
+- `page/shell.ts` now exports `shell(title, workspace)` for the React bootstrap only. Removed the superseded server rendering and style exports listed below:

 During normal watching, each settled batch re-reads changed Markdown paths and retains unchanged parsed documents and search entries. Adds, deletes and renames update the same index. Watcher recovery checks source bytes and reuses unchanged parses. The synthetic 2,000-item benchmark runs with `node --conditions=source packages/work-board/src/test-support/indexBenchmark.ts` from the repository root; it records index time, files read and files parsed for cold start, edit, add, delete and rename.
 
+Identified documents open with a sticky title, kind icon, recorded status, owner and next action. Favorite and handoff controls sit in the header. Known Fleet items also show their stage and PR. An open rail shows criteria, relationships with target titles and statuses, and backlinks grouped by kind; membership and Markdown links keep their own groups. At 1024px the rail sits beside the 68ch Markdown column; on smaller screens it follows the introduction. The Source tab holds the file location, original frontmatter and recorded handoff, question, response and request-receipt details. Passage links into Source reveal the tab before scrolling and focusing the record.
+
+Open requests place an answer card directly below their source header and the headers of the items they unblock. The card renders the reason as Markdown, offers the recorded options with the recommendation marked, and retains response drafts through live reads. Record saves the answer against the request’s reviewed source. More holds the author label, optional Markdown preview, draft tools and response details; the default author is maintainer when no saved label exists. Managed decisions use the title of the work they unblock; generated identities remain in Source. Legacy response URLs redirect to the item and focus its card.

 A file can declare an optional **item ID**. That ID connects it to other files, criteria and boards without tying the connection to its filename. A **criterion** is an explicitly named requirement; an **evidence record** is an author's claim about an observation. The board displays that claim and its provenance; it does not run the check or establish acceptance.
 
 An **attention request** explicitly asks for a decision, review or help with a blocker. It is separate from an item's status. A **question** asks for a person's answer. It can be authored as a standalone item or captured from an attention request with its exact source text, source path and reviewed SHA-256. A **response** is an independent Markdown record of a person's answer, clarification or deferral. Responses retain their reviewed context; they do not close requests, change task status or start an agent. An optional execution integration can acknowledge a managed decision through a separate immutable request receipt. That receipt is distinct from a handoff receipt, execution or acceptance.

+This serves the existing folder on `http://127.0.0.1:4747`. The first screen at `/` is **Today**: a linked summary, **Needs you**, **In progress** and **Goals**. Human asks come from the shared attention projection. Needs-you entries stay within 48px. For questions with one-choice options, Answer opens a popover with buttons that record an answer against the current reviewed context. In progress shows up to eight items Fleet holds in executing, reviewing, repairing or adopting, with their stage and recorded PR link; **All in Now →** opens the full work view. Its summary counts all held items, including those beyond the preview. An unavailable Fleet source shows an unknown count. Goal cards show the next action clamped to two lines and done, in-progress and planned work with an **N of M done** count; criteria and their evidence counts sit behind a closed **Criteria** disclosure. These counts describe recorded source, not verified success. The optional home file remains a heading board through **Workspace notes**; other files remain documents.

Save them through your editor or agent tool; the reader does not create files.
 
 A heading board uses `#` for its title, text before the first `##` for its intro, `##` for sections and `###` for cards. A section without cards shows its text. A `---` after the last heading starts the footer; a divider inside a card before another heading stays in that card. Code spans, reference links, footnotes and `<details>` can stay in the Markdown body. Leave a blank line after `<summary>` and before `</details>` when its content is Markdown.
 
-The sidebar starts with fixed Home, Inbox, Overview, Work, Changes and Diagnostics rows. Project files scroll independently, and opening a document reveals its highlighted file. Below 768px, Files in the top bar opens an overlay drawer; Escape or a tap outside closes it and returns focus to Files. The sidebar groups Markdown into nested folders and keeps the home file first. Folder expansion choices survive live file changes; opening a document expands its ancestors. Empty folders without indexed Markdown stay out of the tree. File links keep their logical workspace paths, including reference-directory aliases.
+The sidebar shows Today, Goals, Now, Library and System, with counts only on Today and Now, followed by pinned documents, active goals with linked-work status bars and quiet done/total figures, and at most five recent documents.

Without a matching Fleet item, authored superseded, deferred, cancelled, done and completed items stay outside Now. Done includes only recent Fleet completions. Queued holds prepared tasks or approved tasks waiting to start, never unapproved planned work. Cards show one Fleet-derived StatusChip and show the holder, PR link and time in stage only when known. When Fleet is unavailable, lanes use authored status and disclose the fallback. Saved views and filters sit behind **Filter**, collapsed by default on Now. Completed work with no known completion time is available through **All work**. All work keeps status columns in a fixed order; **Table** uses the chosen row sort. Decisions, questions, responses, results and request receipts remain readable in their source views and stay outside these work lists. Lists over 200 rows render a moving window inside bounded scrolling lanes or a table. `src/client/react/WorkNow.dom.test.tsx`, `workRecords.dom.spec.tsx` and `workScale.dom.spec.tsx` cover these projections and the rendered row bound with a 1,500-item fixture.

+`client.api.fleetItems.run(undefined)` reads per-item execution through the same daemon client. A `ready` result has `items` for every stage except `completed` and `released`, and `completed` for current records completed within the last seven days, including the boundary. Each item carries `workId`, `stage`, a waiting `attentionOwner` when present, `prUrl` when known, and millisecond `stageEnteredAt` and `updatedAt`; completions also carry `completedAt`. Board joins each unique matching ID to `document: { file, title, metadata }`; missing or duplicate IDs keep the Fleet item with `document: null`. For legacy records, stage entry and completion times remain unknown until an observed stage transition; `updatedAt` becomes known on the next write. A stopped daemon, communication failure or Board index failure returns `{ state: "unavailable", reason }`. Set `BoardOptions.fleetPort: null` to disable the item integration. `src/server/views/fleetItems.test.ts` covers these reads through HTTP RPC with a synthetic daemon.

 #### Find what waits on you
 
-The sidebar and top bar offer **Inbox** with a live count, including on narrow screens. It lists open human-owned next actions, unaddressed standalone questions, and work whose status is `needs-human`. Addressed questions, including registered questions on ordinary attention sources and Fleet's open managed decisions, enter the Inbox only when their attention request's `response_from` includes the maintainer label. The default label is `maintainer`; set `--maintainer <name>` to use another literal, case-sensitive label. Questions for other responders remain reachable through their item, Responses and the Work board/table. Boards without addressed questions keep the same Inbox membership. Managed decisions leave the Inbox when their exact-context acknowledgement retires them. Question and managed-request rows open the response form directly; other rows link to the source. Each row shows the reason and time since the source last changed. Overview links to an Inbox count summary. The Work board/table mark the same items as **Waiting on you** while keeping every card in its recorded status column. Missing or duplicated item IDs remain listed with a visible problem and a link to each source. Ages of 48 hours or more use days.
+**Today** and its navigation badges count human asks from the shared attention projection. They include human-owned next actions, unaddressed standalone questions, `needs-human` work, and validated open attention requests addressed to the maintainer label. Set `--maintainer <name>` to select another literal, case-sensitive label. The default is `maintainer`. Questions open an answer card; other rows open their source. Each row shows its reason and age. Missing or duplicated identities stay visible with a problem and source link. Incomplete indexes withhold membership and counts.
+
+A recorded answer to a uniquely registered ordinary request retires that ask only for the reviewed source bytes and path. Managed decisions retire after an exact-context acknowledgement or when all their targets are closed or deferred. Active asks for the same target set share one row, using the newest reason and response link. Agent-only asks remain available through the typed attention projection. Source diagnostics never create human asks. Work cards show Fleet state, or **needs-you** for an authored ask when Fleet has no item state. These projections do not edit source status.

Statuses `closed`, `done`, `completed`, `cancelled`, `canceled`, `resolved` and `released` leave the queue. These rules classify waiting work; they do not edit the recorded status.

Optional `kind`, `status` and `showFleet` filter the files. Passing `folder: ""` lists root files and immediate folder descriptors; passing a folder path loads its direct files and immediate child folders. Folder descriptors contain `path`, `name` and descendant `count`. The shell reads active goal status counts from `client.api.goals.query()`; opening Library loads its own query.
+
+A `kind: project` page puts goal progress before its authored Markdown: a large segmented bar with the goals query's **done / in progress / planned** counts and its goal-specific open-ask count, including zero. The progress header sits immediately below the item header, before open answer cards. Criteria, linked work and prose follow the answer cards. The header and each criterion render query counts directly, including Fleet-held work as in progress. These are work counts, never an overall success state or percentage. The open-ask count uses the same eligible, active, grouped rows as the maintainer's Today attention list; resolved, parked and earlier grouped asks do not add to it.
+
+Each criterion shows its progress split in one small line, targeting items and recorded evidence when present. Untargeted criteria retain their text without an extra label; absent evidence stays quiet. The table shows each implementing item once under nonempty In progress, Planned, Done (collapsed) or Deferred groups. Each row and criterion link has one state chip: the Fleet stage while held, otherwise the authored status. A released stage falls back to authored status; missing status and missing PR leave blank cells. Items without status belong to Planned. The outline rail remains beside the prose on wide screens and follows it on narrow screens. Closed projects show the same goal and criterion counts as open projects while staying outside active-goal navigation.
+
+`client.api.goals.query()` returns `{ closedGoals, goals, items }`. `items` contains every uniquely identified implementing document, including results, decisions, questions, responses and work targeting closed projects, with `file`, `id`, `title` and `metadata`. Goal criteria and work tables select from this same set used for counts. `goals` contains uniquely identified `kind: project` documents with an open status, using the attention projection's open-item convention. `closedGoals` contains the remaining identified projects with the same progress and criterion fields. Project pages read both lists; the sidebar and navigation count use only `goals`. The Goals view shows active goals as compact cards with next actions, linked-work progress and positive open-ask counts. Only criteria with linked work appear, as single-line links with done/total counts. Empty progress and zero-count metadata render nothing. Closed goals sit below the active cards in one disclosure, closed by default. Each goal includes `id`, `title`, optional authored `status`, `owner` and `nextAction`, and `criteria`. `linked` counts distinct identified items with an `implements` relationship targeting the goal or a criterion anchor. `counts` always has `done`, `"in progress"` and `planned` numbers, including zeros. Fleet-held stages override authored status: completed is done, prepared is planned and other held stages are in progress. Released stages and unavailable Fleet fall back to authored status: closed statuses are done, planned, deferred and missing statuses are planned, and other statuses are in progress. Deferred work keeps its own table group but contributes to planned progress. Multiple matching relationships on one item count once. Each criterion includes its `id`, `text`, `linked`, `counts` and `evidence`, the number of recorded claims targeting that exact criterion across indexed documents. `openAsks` counts eligible active attention rows whose targets include the goal, its criteria or a linked item, once per grouped row; it cannot exceed the attention count. A goal without linked items has zero counts, `linked: 0` and `unlinked: true`; an untargeted criterion has `linked: 0`. The query returns no completion percentage or overall success flag. Mounted queries refresh when indexed source changes.

-The browser uses local NDJSON RPC at `POST /_board/rpc`. Ordinary document GETs, `/_board/start`, `/_board/work`, `/_board/overview`, `/_board/changes`, `/_board/respond`, `/_board/handoff`, `/_board/result`, and identity links remain available alongside it. Search, retained-source history and live subscriptions use the same RPC route. There is no automatic workspace discovery or server launch in agent commands.

Ordinary document GETs, `/_board/start`, `/_board/goals`, `/_board/work`, `/_board/library`, `/_board/system`, `/_board/respond`, `/_board/handoff`, `/_board/result`, and identity links load the React shell. Search and live subscriptions use the same RPC route. There is no automatic workspace discovery or server launch in agent commands.
+
+A running `work-board <dir>` also serves that NDJSON RPC at `POST /_board/rpc` over the Unix socket `<dir>/board.sock`, using the same handlers and services as TCP. Tools can read `work-board.inbox`, `work-board.fleetItems` and `work-board.goals` from the board directory without knowing its port. Each board directory has its own socket. For example:
+
+```sh
+printf '%s\n' '{"_tag":"Request","id":"1","tag":"work-board.server","payload":null,"headers":[]}' |
+  curl --unix-socket ./notes/board.sock http://localhost/_board/rpc \
+    -H 'Content-Type: application/ndjson' --data-binary @-
+```
+
+The `work-board.server` query takes no payload and returns `{ url, directory }`, for example `{ "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4747/", "directory": "/home/me/project/notes" }`. It is available over both TCP and the socket; `url` uses the actual browser port, including when `--port 0` selects a free port. Its `Server` schema is exported from `@shivaedev/work-board/rpc/Server.ts`.
+
+The socket has owner-only access from creation: startup binds inside a private sibling directory at `.sXXXXXX/s`, applies mode `0600`, then publishes `board.sock`. The private socket pathname is no longer than the public pathname, so staging does not reduce the directory lengths that Unix sockets support. These permissions provide its access boundary because Unix connections have no TCP remote address. Requests to `http://localhost/_board/rpc` with `Host: localhost` work over the socket; TCP retains its loopback Host and remote-address checks. Startup removes an unanswered stale socket and refuses to start when another board already answers there. A temporary `.board.sock.starting/` directory serializes stale removal and publication across processes. It is removed when startup completes or its scope closes. The private staging directory is also removed when startup completes or its scope closes. If a process is forcibly killed during startup, the error identifies the lock directory; remove abandoned startup directories only after confirming that startup is no longer running. Closing the board removes its socket, including on SIGINT and SIGTERM. If the board directory is committed, add `board.sock` and `.board.sock.starting/` to that directory's ignore rules.

 Publication runs on Linux and macOS and needs a real workspace directory, hard links and directory synchronization. Linux anchors each step to open directory descriptors through `/proc/self/fd`. macOS has no such anchor in Node, so it uses canonical paths and checks the directories' device/inode identity before and after publishing; a directory or ancestor swapped between two checks is not detected, so keep write boundaries under trusted local ownership. Node's `fsync` on macOS does not issue `F_FULLFSYNC`, so a successful save is not a power-loss guarantee there. Read mode remains separate. No-replace publication and retry reconciliation protect recorded contributions; agents edit handoff receipt through ordinary files. An unrelated editor can still change source after preflight. Records retain the exact reviewed context, rather than claiming an atomic transaction with that editor. Moved directories or synchronization failures can produce an uncertain outcome.
