01 / What it was

A small local desktop app that shows logs, service health, agent jobs, and API costs in one window.

It sampled every minute into a local store, so opening it never waited on an outside service.

02 / How it worked

  • Read-only, local only, sampled every 60 seconds.
  • Anything it couldn't measure was shown as “not wired” instead of zero.

03 / What we saw

Good for “is anything broken?” and for costs. It said nothing about what the agents were actually working on.

04 / Where it led

Omo Space now puts a status lamp on each desk instead: working, idle, or interrupted, visible from across the room.
