README

TaskWatch

A background-task watchboard for the [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) desktop app: every process your chat dispatches through `terminal(background=true)` — **claude, opencode, codex, zcode, a build, a test run, anything** — rendered as a live roster with output tail, runtime, a silence heartbeat and OS notifications.

你派出去的后台编码代理（cc / opencode / codex / 任何终端进程）在干什么、有没有卡死，一块面板看清。

Screenshots

*Expanded row: the append-only live tail — scrollable history while the task keeps running.*

Why

Dispatching a coding agent in the background answers "is it running?" but not **"what is it doing, is it stuck, did it finish?"** — and each agent has its own transcript format. TaskWatch watches at the **terminal-process layer** instead: it renders the gateway's own `process.list` projection for the focused chat, so it is agent-agnostic by construction.

Features

Live roster pane — one row per background process: command, runtime, last output line, status dot
Silence heartbeat — a running task whose output stops changing shows silent N min; configurable threshold (5/10/20/30 min)
OS notifications — task goes silent past the threshold, or exits (success/failure by exit code) → native toast (fires while you are away from Hermes; in-app toast otherwise)
Stop button — two-click confirm, goes through the gateway's process.kill verb and only reaches processes the focused chat owns
Expandable output — click a row to expand a scrollable view of the most recent 32 KB of output (agent thinking included when the agent prints it to the terminal); mouse-wheel through it while the task keeps running
Status-bar chip — runnin
