+## 2026-08-26 — Dashboard operator-home redesign
+
+- Replaced the team dashboard's independent masonry-style stacks with a
+  deterministic operator home: one recommended action and mutually exclusive
+  Now, Next, and Waiting lanes, plus a compact attention rail for decisions,
+  agent exceptions, and blocked work.
+- Consolidated Pipeline, Throughput, Standup, and What's New into one
+  collapsible Workspace health drawer. Only the current What's New release can
+  be cleared; operational health stays visible and the drawer preference
+  persists per user.
+- Preserved the personal dashboard and existing Forge design primitives,
+  limited agent-access onboarding to workspace admins, and added responsive
+  mobile rows plus compact loading feedback.
+- Added deterministic lane unit coverage and desktop/mobile visual QA evidence
+  under `docs/audits/2026-08-26-dashboard-operator-home/`, plus production-build
+  Playwright coverage for responsive hierarchy, deduplication, drawer behavior,
+  and overflow.

+
+## Visual review
+
+- Layout follows the selected operator-home hierarchy: recommended work and
+  trace-linked lanes on the left, attention and live context on the right, and
+  one full-width health drawer below.
+- Independent masonry stacks and their dead-space failure mode are removed.
+- Existing Forge type, spacing, border, badge, and semantic color tokens are
+  preserved.
+- The responsive render has no horizontal overflow. Work remains first, then
+  attention and health context, with compact mobile issue rows.
+- Loading uses a compact row skeleton, avoiding the large blank placeholder
+  visible during the first render pass.
+
+## Interaction review
+
+- Attention tabs expose correct selected state.
+- Workspace-health collapse persists after the preference mutation settles.
+- Clearing What's New hides only the current release notes; operational metrics
+  and the drawer remain available.
+- Browser console review found no warnings or errors attributable to this view.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm lint` — passed with pre-existing repository warnings only.
+- `pnpm typecheck` — passed.
+- Focused Vitest dashboard suites — 9/9 passed.
+- Focused production-build Playwright dashboard suite — passed at desktop,
+  tablet, and mobile breakpoints.
+- Desktop and mobile in-app browser passes — passed.

+# Dashboard operator-home audit
+
+## Problem
+
+The previous dashboard used independently flowing card stacks. At common desktop
+widths that made the left column end early while the right column continued,
+creating large empty regions and obscuring the page's primary question: what
+needs the operator now?
+
+## Implemented direction
+
+- One deterministic work surface assigns each issue to exactly one of `Now`,
+  `Next`, or `Waiting`, with one recommended action above the trace.
+- A fixed attention rail separates decisions, agent exceptions, and blocked
+  work instead of mixing every alert into one feed.
+- Agents and the current week remain compact secondary context.
+- Workspace health is a single collapsible drawer. Pipeline, Throughput,
+  Standup, and What's New stay visible together when expanded.
+- Only What's New can be cleared; the drawer and operational metrics remain.
+- Mobile keeps the same semantic order and uses dense list rows instead of a
+  compressed desktop grid.
+
