Quiet operational feedback

Processing Status

Monitor local runner health, model availability, freshness, and live queue progress without leaving the work.

What it does

A compact status strip keeps runner health, local-model readiness, live progress, and actionable freshness visible. A queue menu exposes explicit refresh actions without repeating controls across every row.

Why it matters

A serious manuscript has too many scenes for one-off prompting to be useful. Passive status feedback makes background work legible while keeping attention on the manuscript.

  • Healthy, warning, and stopped states pair color with explicit labels.
  • Freshness updates automatically when active work finishes.
  • Outdated results are distinguished from stale or never-run work.
  • Start, queue, refresh, and stop actions remain deliberate and inspectable.
