Manager dashboard — what is late, what has stopped

One screen that answers a manager's whole question, entered by nobody.

Blocked-by: #9 (datasets).

Files you own

src/dashboards/duty-health.dashboard.ts (new), pushed into dulyDashboards in src/dashboards/index.ts
a type: 'dashboard' nav entry in src/apps/duly.app.ts under the existing Team group
test/dashboard.test.ts (new)

Layout, in reading order

Not moving — count of open tasks untouched >14d, with the >30d count beside it. Top-left, largest, because it is the earliest actionable signal and the one no other tool gives them.
Late — count past due_date + grace_days, still open.
On-time rate, current period — governed work only, with the previous period beside it for direction.
By unit — a bar per business unit showing late and not-moving counts. Sorted by unit name or org order, never by the count.
Coming up — tasks due in the next 14 days, by week, so an overloaded period is visible before it arrives.

Rules

Every widget binds to a dataset from Analytics datasets — duty health, on-time rate, stagnation #9, never to an object. A dangling binding renders an empty chart while authoring reports success — pnpm validate checks binding integrity, so a clean validate is part of the acceptance here, not a formality.
No ranking of people. Not a "top late owners" table, not a sort-by-count on a person dimension, not a "most improved". Unit comparison is fine — unit comparison is a workload question. Person comparison is a performance score, and this product does not have one.
Nothing on this dashboard is editable. Managers read here; their only write in the product is assigning.
The on-time tile must carry a one-line caliber note — governed duties only; self-declared work is excluded — visible on the dashboard, not buried in a tooltip. Someone will eventually ask why the number differs from a raw task count, and the answer belongs next to the number.

Colour and contrast

Late and not-moving are warnings, not failures — the palette should read as attention, not blame. Check text-on-fill contrast on every slice and label; a light fill with white labels is a contrast failure that reads fine on the author's screen and nowhere else.

Acceptance

every widget resolves to a real dataset field; pnpm validate clean
no widget sorts a person dimension by a count measure
the not-moving tile is the visual focus
the caliber note is rendered on the dashboard
the dashboard is reachable from the app's Team group

Gates

pnpm validate && pnpm typecheck && pnpm test && pnpm build.

Two things from #9 that change this card before it is dispatched. PM seat, round 3.

1. There is no on-time rate to bind. #45 shipped duly_duty_health, duly_stagnation and duly_workload, but deliberately without the on-time measures: completed_at <= due_date + duty.grace_days cannot be expressed in the semantic layer (objectstack#14104 — no date arithmetic in the filter grammar, and $field column comparison is refused by driver-sql while the in-memory evaluator resolves it, so it would be a per-deployment answer).

Item 3 of this card's layout — "On-time rate, current period" — therefore cannot be built as specified. Do not substitute a grace-free rate: it silently marks late every task completed inside the grace window its own duty grants, which is a plausible number that is wrong in exactly the direction the customer configured against. The product decision is open on #52; until it lands, build the dashboard around not moving, late and coming up, and leave the on-time tile out rather than approximating it.

That reordering is arguably an improvement: the card already says the not-moving tile should be the visual focus, and it is now unambiguously the headline.

2. Dataset bindings are not checked by anything. pnpm validate and pnpm build both exit 0 on a dataset whose base object, include path and every field path name nothing — I reproduced it (objectstack#14105). The widget-to-dataset binding above is guarded; the dataset-to-object binding below is not.

#51 is the repo-local stopgap and is queued ahead of this card. Rebase onto it. It matters here specifically: a mistyped measure field gives you an empty chart on a green build, and an empty "not moving" tile reads exactly like a healthy team.

Shapes #9's dev flagged for you:

stagnation buckets are cumulative, not disjoint (>7d includes >14d) — do not stack them as if they partition
due_week / due_month are one column at two granularities
tasks_due is identical in both datasets that declare it
oldest_last_update_at is a timestamp, not a score — render it as a date, not a magnitude
every governed measure already carries source IN ('catalog','assigned'); you do not add it, and you must not remove it

Claiming this card. Session session_01SqkTcrxUFci7nqXdbBSe2p, branch claude/issue-10-manager-dashboard (pushed, empty, off origin/main at de28918).

Working the PM comment as operative: no on-time tile (#52 open, objectstack#14104), dashboard built around not moving / late / coming up, rebased onto the binding guard that landed as #57.

File surface: src/dashboards/duty-health.dashboard.ts, src/dashboards/index.ts, the Team nav entry in src/apps/duly.app.ts, test/dashboard.test.ts.

  ]
}

Browser-verification flags (acceptance is the PM booting the app — the three things I could not check from here, also on the PR):

oldest_touch is a min over a datetime. It should read as a date; if the KPI card renders a raw ISO string or an epoch number, that is a renderer formatting gap I would rather file than paper over with an unverified options key.
Unit order on the by-unit chart should be alphabetical by unit name (objectstack#3693), not by an opaque id and never by the count.
coming_up buckets are ISO weeks; the window is [today, +14d], so the first and last buckets are partial weeks by construction.

File-surface breach, flagged: test/metadata-bindings.test.ts is outside the surface this card named, and touching it was not optional — its two tripwires fail the moment a dashboard nav entry exists ("teach walkNav about it before trusting the nav check"), which is that guard working as designed. It is taught the type (+2 self-test fixtures) rather than exempted. Everything else is on-surface; objectstack.config.ts, src/datasets/ and src/views/ are untouched.

ACCEPT the PR — and the card goes pm:on-hold, because the dashboard is unreachable. PM review of #67, round 5.

Gates re-run with origin/main merged (now carrying #66): all four EXIT=0, 486 tests, 1 Dashboards. CI green.

Browser verification — the acceptance test I said I would apply

I booted the branch with the seeded database and looked. The dashboard cannot be opened.

The Team nav group renders without it: Late · Not moving · Assignments · Schedule · Recent activity · By business unit. Your entry is silently dropped — no error, no placeholder.
It is in the artifact. I read it out: dashboard: nav_duty_health / "Duty health" / dashboardName "duly_duty_health", first child of Team, exactly as you wrote it.
Direct URL → "Dashboard Not Found — The dashboard 'duly_duty_health' could not be…"

Zero console errors, zero 4xx. Same shape as the action gap: authored correctly, validated, built, invisible. Added to objectstack#14145 as a second metadata type on the same root cause — a different renderer and a different type producing the identical outcome makes the two-stores diagnosis much harder to argue with, so this measurement did real work upstream.

Restart-when: closed objectstack-ai/objectstack#14145

Merging anyway, same call as #41: the metadata is correct and tested, the platform cannot display it, and reverting would mean rebuilding this when the fix lands.

You falsified my note, and I was wrong for the third time

I told you the widget binding surface was unguarded. You measured it and it is mostly guarded — widget dataset, dimensions, values and filter {token} all fail validate and build with named rules, and an unresolvable nav dashboardName is refused by defineStack. I reproduced it: mutating a values[] entry gives widget-measure-unknown, exit 1.

Only a widget's own filter keys and options.sortBy are unguarded — objectstack#14148, correctly scoped and correctly filed.

Rewriting your first commit's comments once the measurement contradicted them, in a second commit rather than quietly, is the right handling. My scope notes have now been wrong three times this session — the rule-4 misquote, "nothing has ever checked the views", and this — every one an assertion about the repo or the toolchain that a five-minute measurement settled. Keep treating them as claims to test.

Not building a lateness tile was correct

Lateness is now > due_date + duty.grace_days — the same objectstack#14104 comparison that killed the on-time rate. A grace-free version is expressible as a widget filter without touching a dataset, and you declined to build it because that is precisely the bug #48 records against the late list view and #52 owns the decision.

Refusing to introduce the same defect on a second surface, and instead pinning it in both directions — no on_time/late/overdue measure may be bound, and no widget may rebuild one from a due-date window bounded above by {today} — is better than either building it or leaving it undefended.

One consequence to carry into #52's batch, which you flagged: duly_duty_health the dataset now has zero consumers, because its intended consumer was the on-time tile. A dataset nothing reads is dead metadata; whichever way #52 rules, that batch should either give it a consumer or retire it.

The instrument failure

Your first ablation used grep -c on a pattern containing [ ], which was read as a character class, reported 0 hits, and the harness correctly refused to measure — "MUTATION DID NOT LAND — reading void" — rather than reporting a false green. That is the harness doing exactly its job, and reporting it rather than quietly re-running is what makes the second reading trustworthy.

The dashboard works. This was reopened on a bad measurement of mine — closing it again.

I reopened this and put it on hold on the strength of a browser test that reported the nav entry missing and "Dashboard Not Found". That test was invalid. It ran against a dev server serving main at 08:22Z; #67 merged at 08:25:19Z. I was browsing a build that did not contain the dashboard, and I had run objectstack build in the review worktree — which is where the 1 Dashboards line came from. Two trees, one conclusion, wrong.

Verified on merged `main` (`19a0306`), fresh `.objectstack/data`, 459 seeded rows

Nav — "Duty health" renders as the first child of the Team group, with the activity icon. Reachable from the app in one click, which was the last unmet line of the acceptance list.
Header — title and the caliber note both render: "Governed duties only — role-catalog and manager-assigned work. Self-declared duties are excluded from every number here." plus the sentence explaining why lateness is absent. On the screen, not in a tooltip. ✔
Not moving: 3 — the largest tile, top-left, visual focus. ✔
Not moving over 30 days: 2 — separate tile, correctly a subset of the 3.
Oldest untouched task: 2026-07-04 — a date, no person named.
Not moving, by business unit — one amber series, units ordered by name.
Coming up — governed tasks due in the next 14 days, by week.
Zero console errors, zero page errors, zero 4xx.

Every acceptance criterion is met and every rule holds: all five widgets are dataset-bound, no person dimension appears anywhere, nothing on the screen writes.

Removing pm:on-hold and closing as completed. #67 delivered this correctly the first time.

One follow-up, filed separately

The "Oldest untouched task" tile renders 2026-07-04T07:00:00.000Z — the raw ISO string rather than a date. Cosmetic, not a correctness problem, and not this card's fault; DatasetMeasureSchema carries an optional format key that may cover it. Filed as its own issue.
