jeda 3cb798b7e9 feat(bd-3sj): P4-002: File Heatmap
Implement file heatmap visualization that tracks which files are modified
most frequently and by which workers. Helps identify hotspots and potential
collision areas.

Features:
- Track file modifications across all workers
- Heat levels (cold/warm/hot/critical) based on modification frequency
- Worker contribution percentages per file
- Collision risk detection for files with multiple workers
- Sortable by modifications, recent activity, workers, or collisions
- Filter by directory or collision-only files
- Statistics overview with heat distribution

Integration:
- Press 'H' in TUI to toggle heatmap view
- Press 's' to cycle sort modes
- Press 'c' to toggle collision-only filter
- Press 'Esc' to return to default view

Also fixed pre-existing DependencyDag component build issues:
- Created missing dagUtils.ts utility module
- Fixed import paths and type annotations

Tests: 20 new tests for file heatmap, all 154 tests passing

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 tui

# Web dashboard
fabric web

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

Intelligence Features

Beyond simple log display, FABRIC provides:

Feature Description
Stuck & Loop Detection Automatic alerts when workers spin their wheels
Inline Diff View See actual code changes, not just "Edit was called"
Cross-Reference Links Click any bead, file, or worker to navigate
Collision Detection Know when workers edit the same files
Session Replay Scrub through past sessions like a video
Smart Error Grouping Errors with context, not scattered through logs
Command Palette Ctrl+K for universal search and commands
Cost Tracking Real-time token usage and budget alerts
Task Dependency DAG Visual graph of task relationships
File Heatmap See where all the action is at a glance
Conversation Transcript See the full Claude conversation, not just tool calls
Semantic Narrative Natural language summary of what workers are doing
AI Session Digest Auto-generated session summaries for stakeholders
File Context Panel See file contents alongside activity stream
Git Integration Live git status, diff preview, conflict detection
Worker Analytics Compare worker performance over time
Recovery Playbook Suggestions based on similar past errors
Focus Mode Pin workers/tasks, hide everything else

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.
