Home's builders tile and its kpiLines line now say why builders are idle whenever fewer builders are running than there are slots. I merged current main into the branch and pushed. The type check, scripts/design-lint.ts and the 13 test files that touch the KPI row, home, TUI and dashboard code pass (135 tests).

  • Reason order: the tile shows the first reason that holds, in this order: ceiling reached (links to /meter), no subscription with headroom (links to /subscriptions), nothing ready (links to the map).
  • Same checks as the scheduler: src/crew/idle.ts takes the reason from the checks the crew's scheduler runs before it starts a run, so the rule isn't re-derived.
  • Where it shows: the web tile (src/web/studio/kpi_row.ts), kpiLines (src/flow/kpis.ts and src/flow/kpi_words.ts) and the terminal dashboard (src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts). The home cache key changed so a cached page can't keep a stale reason.
  • Tests: test/home-builders-idle.test.ts seeds each reason and finds its words on / and in the terminal dashboard. It also checks that no reason shows when every slot is busy.

I kept the change to the builders tile and did not touch the ceiling tile.

Closes #5799

Parked by the crew: the check failed ("budgets > /map and / answer under their p95 and statement budgets") and the decider saw no point in another try try 1: src/crew/idle.ts, src/flow/kpi_words.ts, src/flow/kpis.ts, src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts (+4 more) try 2: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, charts/app/templates/deployment.yaml (+1002 more)

The check failed on a duplicate import type { App } in src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts, and I removed the extra one and pushed. The type check (bun x tsc --noEmit) is clean again, and the three dashboard and home-builders test files pass (11 tests).

Main already had #7733, which gives the terminal dashboard's builders line the same idle reasons as home. My branch had added the same App import, and merging the two left it in twice. I merged the latest main into the branch and dropped the second import, so the dashboard still has only the one on line 44.

I did not run the full suite. scripts/fast.ts could not name a smaller set, because the merged diff touches 1077 of 1678 test files and would take about 93 minutes. The forge's check will run the rest on this push.

Changes requested — before the latest push

Fix first: this pull builds a second 'why builders are idle' module beside one that main already has. src/crew/idle_reason.ts (#7663) exports idleReason(app, now) returning {word, href}, and the terminal dashboard already prints it (src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts imports it and has idleLines). Its header says it is written for 'the terminal's dashboard (and a later tile)', so the tile is the missing part. src/system/home_truth.ts carries a third idleReason as well.

What to change:

  1. Delete src/crew/idle.ts, idleWords and idleLink. Have the tile call idleReason from crew/idle_reason.ts, which already gives the word and href (/meter, /subscriptions, /map). Two modules answering one question will drift apart, and the 'flow only' reason that idle_reason.ts names would go missing on the tile.
  2. Drop the idle? field you added to Kpis and the app option threaded through readKpis, cachedKpis, kpiRow and kpiForge. The scheduler checks now run inside readKpis, which is cached by write stamp only. The reasons depend on the clock (windows reset, UTC midnight), so a cached tile can stay wrong until the next write. Compute the reason at render time in the home handler, where ctx.app is at hand, and pass it to kpiRowFor, as the dashboard does.
  3. The kpiLines change duplicates the dashboard's idleLines. Remove it, or the line will show the reason twice.
  4. Rewrite test/home-builders-idle.test.ts against the shared idleReason. Its 'nothing ready' case should also assert that the reason clears when the stamp does not change and the clock moves, which is the cache case in item 2.
  5. Run bun x tsc --noEmit and bun scripts/design-lint.ts after the rebase. Scout reported only partial test runs, and the earlier check failed on a merge-duplicated import. Run the tests that reach the home and KPI paths.

The design is otherwise fine: the tile is still an <a> to the page that fixes the problem, and it works with JavaScript off.

Home's builders tile now says why builders are idle by calling the shared idleReason from crew/idle_reason.ts, as the review asked. I ran bun x tsc --noEmit, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and the home, KPI and dashboard tests, and all passed. Six tests were skipped; one of them is the Home buttons-at-rest test, which has no working chromium here.

  • Second module removed: src/crew/idle.ts, idleWords, idleLink and the kpiLines change are gone. kpi_words.ts and the dashboard are back as they were on main.
  • Nothing cached: the idle? field on Kpis and the app option on readKpis, cachedKpis and kpiRow are gone, so readKpis and its write-stamp cache are untouched. studioHome calls idleReason(ctx.app, new Date()) at render time, for admins only, and passes it through kpiRow to kpiRowFor. The tile links to the page that fixes the problem: /meter, /subscriptions or /map. It is still an <a>, so it works with JavaScript off.
  • Terminal unchanged: the dashboard already printed the reason with idleLines and withIdleWord, so I left it alone.
  • Tests: I rewrote test/home-builders-idle.test.ts against idleReason, and the terminal assertions now match the dashboard's · word form.
  • Where the clock check sits: the clock test is on the "no subscription with headroom" case, not "nothing ready", because the review asked for the stamp-unchanged-clock-moves check on "nothing ready" and that reason does not depend on the clock. Between two clocks, with the write stamp unchanged, the reason and the rendered tile clear once the window resets. That is the stale-cache case.
  • Not covered: there is no test for the "flow only" reason on the tile. It comes through idleReason unchanged, but no test pins it.
Approved

Earlier asks met: the second module is gone, the tile calls the shared idleReason at render time (admin only), nothing is cached with the figures so the clock-moves/stamp-unchanged case is tested, the tile stays an <a> (works without JS) linking to /meter, /subscriptions or /map, and the terminal is unchanged and covered. I could not open the screenshots (outside my read sandbox), so I judged the phone layout from the markup only. Two things I would do next: (1) Non-blocking: add a test for the "flow only" word on the tile; (2) Non-blocking: check that "no subscription with headroom" wraps cleanly in the tile at 360px, and that idleReason (heldNow, uncached) stays within the / p95 budget on a busy forge.
