# Bottom dock — context-aware inspector

> The collapsible panel at the bottom of the dashboard adapts its tabs to whatever entity you're looking at — an agent, crew, issue, routine, or run — so the live, hands-on layer is always one click away.

# 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

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Crews & Agents">
    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                    |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Issues">
    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](#changes-tab))                                            |
    | **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                                                                 |

    The old agent-scoped **Messages / Exec Log** tabs were removed from issues — they showed nothing when no agent was selected. Comments (issue discussion) is a different thing from Messages (an agent's peer inbox).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Routines">
    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                                                        |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Activity">
    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)) |
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## CLI parity

The dock's read tabs have matching CLI commands, so an agent can pull the same data without the UI:

```bash theme={null}
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
```
