Why we did this

The inventory page listed agents in one flat table. It didn't say which were alive right now, or what was running unwatched.

What happened

After eight rounds, inventory leads with how many agents are alive, how much is watched, and what's at risk. Its agent card shipped into the product on real data.

Before → afterThe page now opens on three numbers: agents and how many are active, how much is watched, and how many are at risk.

What changed

The two changes that matter most, in plain words. Open any one to see it.

  1. 1

    The page now opens on three numbers: agents and how many are active, how much is watched, and how many are at risk.

  2. 2

    Opening an agent shows a card of sections: who it is with score and spend, its sessions and details, and the models, servers, folders and tools it uses.

Also in this cycle
  • The first idea showed every agent as a badge grouped by person, with unwatched installs as ghost cards. New in this cycle
  • An element-by-element check found about 85% of the design could be built on data the product already has. In words
  • The shared library gained an inline agent label, pixel art that follows light and dark themes, the surface panel and a section card for expanded rows. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

We decided

c59-D1 The ledger is the direction; each new round gets its own page so earlier rounds stay archived. — Mark Parson

c59-D2 The overview is three tiles of one size: agents by state, "Visibility - what is monitored", and "At-risk - agent posture". — Mark Parson

So now

The page now opens on three numbers: agents and how many are active, how much is watched, and how many are at risk.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c59-D3 The shipped agent card keeps the governance denied-call count from the old expand panel. — Mark Parson

So now

Opening an agent shows a card of sections: who it is with score and spend, its sessions and details, and the models, servers, folders and tools it uses.

Called inventory "the holy grail"

Matched: on the Aug 25 Tiled demo, after this work, he called the inventory view the holy grail and liked the agents / machines / harnesses / surface split; Surface was the lens this cycle added.

Picked the ledger and drew the agent card

Chose the ledger over the badge wall, ran the reviews that produced the uniform tiles and the "Visibility - what is monitored" label, and drew the designer comps for the expand card, including the stacked-sections version that shipped.
