Timeline Guide
The Timeline is a DAW-style observability view for your AI team. It shows who did what and when — across all workers, in a single lane-based view.
Opening Timeline
Click Timeline in the left sidebar (clock icon). Timeline is visible on all plans.

- Lanes — one row per worker. Inactive workers are collapsed.
- Event chips — colored blocks on each lane; width = duration, position = timestamp.
- Playhead — vertical line marking the current time (live) or scrubbed position.
- Zoom — scroll horizontally to zoom in/out. Default view = last 24 hours.
Event Types

Controls
| Control | Action |

Filtering
Use the filter bar above the lanes to show only:
- Specific worker (
developer,consultant, etc.) - Specific event type (
issue,message,skill, etc.) - Time range (last 1h / 6h / 24h / 7d)
Live vs Replay
Timeline starts in Live mode — playhead tracks real time and new events appear as they happen.
Click any point in the past to enter Replay mode. The playhead stays at that timestamp until you click Live to resume.
Export
Click the Export button (top-right) to download the current view as a JSON event log. Useful for post-mortems or sharing with team members.
The export includes: worker_id, event_type, timestamp, duration_ms, content_preview (truncated to 200 chars).
