Orchestrator Intelligence & Communications
Three productivity-focused areas land in the monitor: a restructured dashboard puts “what needs me?” first without scrolling, a new Comms view surfaces real-time catalyst-comms channels with live message feeds and cross-links from worker activity, and orchestrator briefings now include an auto-generated rollup that aggregates what shipped across all waves. Worker cost tooltips explain when metrics are unavailable, and PR status badges show merge conflicts or blocks at a glance across tables and cards.

Loki-Backed Monitoring Panels
OTel configuration now supports project-scoped files and the monitoring dashboard displays live tool usage metrics and API error feeds pulled from Loki. The tool usage panel shows your top-8 most invoked tools over the last hour, while the error feed displays the 5 most recent API failures with timestamps. Both panels automatically hide when OTel is unconfigured and poll every 30 seconds alongside your existing health checks.

Dev UI Mockup Suite
Complete static mockup harness for the orch-monitor redesign with 6 new views (home, worker, orchestrator, briefing, comms, todos, agent graph), global keybindings, AI summarization endpoint, and brand V2 assets. Each mockup supports both design systems and includes detailed state variants for visual review. The harness includes drift detection for local dev marketplace registration and improved worker communication discipline guidelines.

Canonical Wave Dispatch & Chrome Navigation
The orchestration dispatcher now reads all waveN queues dynamically instead of hardcoded wave limits, so you can dispatch wave5 or wave10 without manual script edits. Click the Catalyst logo to return to the mockup gallery, use the new breadcrumb navigation, or press ⌘K for a filterable command palette with nav shortcuts and appearance controls. Worker usage and costs now aggregate correctly into state.json during monitoring phases.

Session State Tracking & Restart
Active sessions now show liveness status and crash detection via catalyst-session.sh status, with automated restart commands for crashed Claude sessions that preserves your conversation history. Orchestrator worktrees get readable names like orch-deal-to-opportunity-2026-04-25 and write completion markers for clear done/in-progress distinction. Post-merge verification runs automatically on merged PRs when allowSelfReportedCompletion is disabled, filing remediation tickets instead of blocking merge.

Session Outcome & Iteration Tracking
Catalyst now emits session outcome events (success, fail, abandoned) and iteration counters to your observability stack, enabling cost-per-successful-outcome analysis and complexity measurement. The claude_code_iteration_count_total metric tracks plan-replan and implement-fix cycles separately, giving you visibility into which tickets require more rework. Run your database migrations to add the new session tracking columns.

- dev: emit claude_code.session.outcome at session end (CTL-157) (#278) (6505cb0)

Warp Tab Directory Tracking
The launch-worktree-tab.sh script now supports --shell-eval mode to properly set the working directory in Warp tabs. When you open Catalyst worktree tabs, Warp’s path indicator will now show the actual worktree path instead of defaulting to the main checkout directory.

Shell Evaluation CWD Fixes
Fixed Warp terminal integration where --shell-eval mode would show incorrect directory paths, create unwanted shell block splits, and kill the tab’s shell on Claude exit. Warp’s file explorer and path indicator now correctly track worktree directories, and Claude sessions return cleanly to your shell without spawning extra blocks.

- dev: drop exec from —shell-eval to preserve tab shell (CTL-201) (#307) (3ee4048)
- dev: force Warp CWD update before exec in —shell-eval mode (CTL-199) (#302) (d7c9ad8)

Orchestration Monitor Refresh
Unified Kanban board with view toggles, project filters, and GitHub-style PR status indicators across home, orchestration, and worker views. Worker detail pages now show hero metrics (elapsed time, tokens, cost) above the phase timeline, while the orchestration view promotes todos to the top with an expanded 5-column worker board. Polling loops now include explicit sleep intervals to prevent GitHub API rate limit exhaustion.
