 - Wrap the app in `machineUiHmiTheme`.
 - Give the app an Operate page at `/`, any setup pages it needs (such as Recipes), and a Logs page: a `LogsPanel` fed by the Events stream, as the example's `logs-page.tsx` does, where the operator finds out why a cycle faulted. Nav labels name the page and never echo a top-bar action, and their icons don't suggest one. Never "Run", "Start" or a play icon: beside the top bar's Start, the operator reads it as a second Start button.
-- The Operate page is what the operator watches during a run, so it reads from across the cell. Copy the example's `operate-page.tsx` and adapt it rather than starting from a blank page. Top to bottom: a heading saying what the station is doing or the recipe running, the run's segmented progress bar, the settings for the next run (disabled while one runs), and one short paragraph on what Start and Stop do. Lay it out with `Box` or `Stack` gaps, each readout a label above its value in theme text variants. Never set `fontSize` or `lineHeight`: a value sized by hand overlaps its label.
+- The Operate page is what the operator watches during a run, so it reads from across the cell. Copy the example's `operate-page.tsx` and adapt it rather than starting from a blank page. While a run is on, show from top to bottom: the step in progress named inside a ring that fills against the last cycle's time, beside the recipe and the cycles done and rate; the cycle's steps as a row of tiles, the current one lit; and the run's progress bar. Copy the example's StepRing, StepRail and CycleProgress as they are, and publish the step and the cycle's elapsed time on the status stream as its enter_step method does. A single `VentionProgressBar` cannot mark the cycles a Stop cancels. Below them go the settings for the next run (disabled while one runs) and one short paragraph on what Start and Stop do. Leave out what the operator can neither change nor act on, such as axis stops, taught positions or device names: they are the program's constants, not the run's. Lay it out with `Box` or `Stack` gaps, each readout a label above its value in theme text variants. Never set `fontSize` or `lineHeight`: a value sized by hand overlaps its label.
 - Show each piece of information in one place only. The `StatusTopBar` already shows the state, so a page never repeats it, not even as a status indicator or an alert titled with the same word. A page adds only what the bar cannot say: the cause of a fault, what happens next, what to do.
 - The screen fits the pendant without scrolling: keep `body { margin: 0 }` from the example's `index.html`, or the full-viewport root overflows it. Only the page area between the two bars scrolls.
 - Exactly one way back to Control Center: the `NavigationBar`'s own button, which confirms before leaving. Keep `ui.showDefaultBackToControlCenterButton` `false` in `project.json`, or the pendant lays a second one over the screen.

 description: Diagnose deployed Vention machines from controller state, history, health, and activity data. Use when the user reports a machine that is down, faulted, offline, slow, or underperforming, asks why a cycle time regressed, wants to interpret MachineMotion event data or drive and brake status, asks about OEE or uptime, or wants to know which machine in a fleet needs attention. Trigger on a MachineMotion serial number plus any complaint.
