Progress, History, And Assistant
Long-running work is visible, important state changes are auditable, and the assistant can help inspect the workspace without taking hidden actions.
Expansion, seed-connection, continuous-fetch, history, restore, and assistant actions all leave visible progress or reviewable state.
Jobs And Notifications
The header Jobs button opens the workspace jobs panel. Active and finished jobs are separated into tabs, and each tab shows its count.
Manual backward and forward expansion creates one job per selected paper and direction. Seed-connection build and continuous fetch are represented as rolling jobs with progress. Successful expansion jobs report how many accepted candidates came from the provider response; failures surface provider errors.
History And Restore
The history view records important project events such as imports, screening moves, expansion results, metadata updates, and assistant-approved actions. When a history entry supports recovery, the workspace can restore from its snapshot.
History is not a replacement for backups, but it makes review-changing actions inspectable and gives users a recovery path for supported snapshots.
Assistant Pane
The assistant pane supports built-in workspace help and included-paper report generation even before remote chat is configured. The composer keeps the model name as a clickable chip, which opens Workspace Settings for provider, model, and endpoint configuration.
When an OpenAI-compatible provider is configured, the assistant can stream replies and call bounded workspace tools. Mutating tools require explicit approval so snowball sampling and workspace changes remain deliberate.
Good Uses
- Ask for a summary of included papers.
- Ask what to inspect next in the current workspace.
- Generate an included-paper report.
- Run approval-gated snowball actions with bounded stop targets.
- Inspect what a tool did through inline step disclosures.
