[ANT1OFF]

Simplifies how orchestrator work shows in the sidebar and on the Board, and makes the two agree. Presentation only: features and groups stay in the server and the ledger, and nothing in packages/ changes.

Sidebar

• Orchestrator → workers. The feature headings are gone, in the open sidebar and the compact rail's flyout. A worker's feature stays on its hover card.
• Order was spawn order; it is now needs you, working, waiting on CI or a review, then the rest, stable within each, with held briefs last.
• Plain status lines. The sidebar showed the raw activity (Running grep -n …, Reading …/scratch/…, Running: a background shell • ssh …). It now goes through activityGist, the Board's own words, so a command or path can't reach a row. Waiting on CI · #69 and other headlines are unchanged.

Board

• Ungrouped lines get an Other heading under the bands, so they no longer read as the last group's. No heading when no band is above them.
• Line name is the worker's title, with +N for more workers. The slug moves to the hover. A line's only worker no longer repeats that title on its chip.
• Finished work leaves for Done. A line goes when its workers are merged, delivered or archived, or when the ledger no longer has them and nothing runs, the rule the sidebar already used. The second part is what clears the stale "reported done" lines: a closed worker's card stays as it last was. A held brief, a worker still running or asking, and a merged worker that still has work going all keep a line on the Board.
• Show archived became Show finished, and brings all of it back. It keeps the existing boardArchivedShown setting.

Decision: one-feature groups stay as bands

Stages and the plan editor live on the band. Now that finished lines leave, a group shrinks to one line mid-effort, so flattening it would make its stage disappear and reappear as work moved. Bands also stay stable when a second feature joins.

Known limits

• A worker that only reported done, and is still in the ledger, stays on the Board because the orchestrator may act on its report. The sidebar already hides those, so the two differ there.
• Reading is worded "Reading code" rather than "Reading a file", because this reuses the Board's words so both surfaces agree.
• Sidebar order follows tone, so a row can move when its state changes.
• Not run against a live provider or real workspace data: screenshots and e2e use the synthetic mock.

Verification

On this head, rebased onto main:

• bun run typecheck, bun run fmt:check, bun run check:scaffold: pass
• vitest run src/orchestration src/views src/thread src/sidebar src/shell: 1082 passed
• bun run --filter @gram/web e2e overview-sidebar board-parity board-rail board-virtual feature-sheet orchestration workers-list held-briefs worker-questions getting-around --workers=1: 105 passed, 1 failed
  • The failure is orchestration.spec.ts:1870, the digest's report evidence, which this change doesn't touch. It passed in the earlier run and 3/3 with --repeat-each=3 alone, so I read it as a flake under load on a shared machine.
• Not run: the full bun run check, left to the merge gate.

The e2e caught one real bug on the way: an Other heading as its own list entry had no tab stop, so Tab died there. The heading now belongs to the first ungrouped line's entry, and board-virtual's Tab test covers it. Specs that pinned the old headings and Show archived are updated, not deleted.
