The bell and Ctrl+Alt+N open this terminal window’s conversations with pending
questions, permissions, failures or unread results. Ctrl+Alt+O lists all views
open here, and Tab opens global history from either list. Each conversation
keeps its draft, attachments and queued
follow-ups when you switch. Submitted input stays visible until the daemon
acknowledges it; an uncertain submission is never replayed automatically.
Conversation icons show state: ○ idle or complete, ● unread update, ?
question, ! approval, × a failed turn in an open conversation, and ▶ working.
Each title has a second row with its
project path on the left and pending action counts and time on the right.
Paths inside your home directory use ~/; search accepts either form. Selected
details show failures and any clipped context, with PgUp/PgDn to scroll.
Use /cost for cost details.
