## Issue Worker starvation alert triggered despite 18 open beads existing. ## Root Cause Ready queue was stale (last updated 2026-03-04T14:03:40) while new frankentui migration epic (bd-2gy) and child tasks were created on 2026-03-05. Worker couldn't find work because queue wasn't regenerated. ## Resolution 1. Closed bd-yxm as FALSE POSITIVE - work exists 2. Regenerated ready-queue.json (now shows 11 ready beads) 3. Updated ROADMAP.md to reflect Phase 5: Frankentui Migration ## Key Metrics - Open beads: 17 (11 ready with no blockers) - Closed beads: 165 - Project completion: ~91% (Phase 5 in progress) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

FABRIC
Flow Analysis & Bead Reporting Interface Console
A live display for NEEDLE worker activity, available as TUI or web dashboard.
Purpose
FABRIC tails NEEDLE's logging output and renders it in real-time. It answers:
- What is each worker doing right now?
- What events are happening across all workers?
- Which workers are active, idle, or erroring?
- Is any worker stuck or looping?
- Are workers colliding on the same files?
- How much is this costing?
Display Modes
TUI (fabric tui)
Live terminal dashboard:
- Worker status grid
- Scrolling log stream
- Worker detail panel
- Keyboard navigation and filtering
Web (fabric web)
Live browser dashboard at localhost:3000:
- Worker overview cards
- Real-time activity feed
- Timeline visualization
- WebSocket-powered updates
Quick Start
# Terminal dashboard

FABRIC reads from ~/.needle/logs/ by default.

Relationship to NEEDLE
NEEDLE (orchestrates workers) → logs → FABRIC (displays + analyzes)
NEEDLE does the work. FABRIC shows you what's happening and helps you understand it.
Status
🚧 In Development - See docs/plan.md for implementation roadmap.
