v0.1.61 — lanes you can read at a glance

The sidebar now shows at a glance what each item needs from you, and several small annoyances are fixed for everyone.

What changed

• Lane glyphs in the sidebar (#454): every row shows what it needs from you: ▲ decide, ● review, ○ read, ◌ waiting on the agent. The glyphs match the Next-up bar exactly. Hover or keyboard focus shows the label, and the glyph shapes stay distinct in high-contrast mode. Low-contrast dots were also fixed in dark mode.
• Reload works after switching projects (#455): a stale-daemon warning could leave a Reload button that did nothing. Now a new warning replaces the old one, and Reload always reloads.
• Quieter indicators (#455):
  • the ⋯ menu dot lights only for things you haven't seen;
  • the session dot pulses only while the agent is actually working;
  • the two approve countdowns now behave the same way.
• With the Next-up bar preview on (#455):
  • a "✎ Request" button in the header;
  • the demo and recap cards are reachable from the bar through a "Next step ⌄" marker;
  • the agent filter becomes a menu.

Release verification

The release changes only the four version sources and the two generated server version stamps to 0.1.61. Both PRs were reviewed adversarially at their exact merged heads by a non-author, using headless-browser probes on a real demo session, and every round is recorded on its PR. The release reviewer booted the plugin and got 0.1.61. A cold rebuild reproduces the committed bundle, the full suite passes (5,508 tests), and CI is green. Details are on release PR #456.
