Watchers Tab

Watchers shows live watcher processes for the active project.

It reports watcher mode, repository root, owning agent session, heartbeat, restart attempts, and health such as healthy, stale, restarting, or failed. This is the liveness view; the Project tab is the broader summary.

Watchers carry an explicit Desktop session or CLI session monitoring label; older watchers without that metadata show Session type unknown.

Controls

• j / k choose a watcher.
• PgUp / PgDn and Home navigate details.
• r forces a fresh project snapshot.
• h opens help.

For normal Codex-linked work, prefer the watcher manager. Legacy service-managed and foreground watchers remain available for advanced cases.
