Bottom dock
Every primary dashboard surface has a collapsible dock pinned to the bottom of the viewport. It’s collapsed to a thin tab strip by default — click any tab to expand it, drag the top edge to resize, and it remembers your height.
The dock is context-aware: the tabs it shows depend on the entity in focus, so what you see is always the live layer of that thing — not a fixed set that’s half-empty. Selecting a different agent / issue / routine / run re-scopes every tab.
What each page shows
Crews & Agents
Issues
Routines
Activity
Scoped to the selected agent or crew container:| Tab | What it shows |
|---|
| Terminal | Interactive shell into the crew container (xterm over WebSocket) |
| Files | Browse + edit the agent’s home dir or the crew’s shared tree |
| Messages | The agent’s peer inbox — questions, escalations, approvals |
| Exec Log | The agent’s container log |
| Docker | Containers for the workspace + status |
| YAML | Read-only projection of the agent/crew record |
Scoped to the issue (mission) in focus:| Tab | What it shows |
|---|
| Activity | Timeline of everything that happened on the issue — assignments, status changes, escalations, runs |
| Runs | Every run triggered by the issue, with status + duration. CLI: crewship issue runs <id> |
| Changes | Diff produced by the work (see Changes) |
| Comments | Discussion thread on the issue (humans + agents). CLI: crewship issue comments <id> |
| Spec | The issue’s YAML record |
| Docker | Environment the work is running in |
Appears when you select a routine — pair the definition editor above with its run console below:| Tab | What it shows |
|---|
| Runs | Run history for the routine (status, duration, trigger) |
| Logs | Exec log of the routine’s most recent run. CLI: crewship routine logs <run> --full |
| Schedule | Cron, timezone, next + last run, enabled state, and a Run now button |
| Spec | The routine’s YAML definition |
Appears when you select a run on the trace canvas — the raw run console alongside the visual trace:| Tab | What it shows |
|---|
| Logs | The run’s exec log, oldest-first |
| Trace | Step-by-step output of the run |
| Changes | Diff produced by the run (see Changes) |
Changes tab
The Changes tab shows the diff a run or issue produced. It’s computed on demand — there’s no stored snapshot — and degrades to a calm “not wired up for this workspace yet” note when the diff source isn’t available, rather than erroring.
The diff source (working-tree changes vs. a diff against the base branch) is a workspace-level decision. Until it’s configured the tab stays in its idle state; the rest of the dock is unaffected.
CLI parity
The dock’s read tabs have matching CLI commands, so an agent can pull the same data without the UI:
crewship issue runs CRE-142 # runs triggered by an issue
crewship issue comments CRE-142 # issue discussion thread
crewship issue activity CRE-142 # issue timeline
crewship routine logs run_abc123 --full # full per-run journal timeline
