Live Activity — the dispatch in flight.

When the desk dispatches a long-running task, the Live Activity carries the state from your wrist, your lock screen, and the top of your phone. Three states, one schema — the chrome shrinks but the meaning is the same.

routing → sending → agent replied

Compact · sending

Idle island shape. Project glyph left, 3-bar step indicator right (2/3 lit, third pulsing).

GlyphProject initials in the accent square — same glyph used everywhere (chat, widget, audit).

Step bars3 bars = routing / sending / replied. Filled = done, pulsing = current. Reads at a glance.

Expanded · long-press

Tap-and-hold the island. The pill stretches to 280×116, reveals title, status, progress.

CancelAlways present. Cancels the dispatch (not just hides the activity). Confirms via haptic + brief fade.

ETAHonest ETA from the receiving agent — not a fake spinner timer. Shows "~Ns" only while reasoning is computable.

Lock screen · full

Routing

Hi Lisa, confirmed for 14:00 on Thursday. The agenda

0:04 elapsed ~2s left Open ›

Input echoOne line, accent-railed. The user sees what they asked for — no surprise dispatch.

StreamLive partial reply rolls in below. Words fade in at 35% → 92% as the agent emits. Cursor pulses at the head.

OpenAuthenticate → app launches straight into the thread at this position. No "where was I?" loss.

Offline · queued

No connectivity. The Live Activity persists with a queued banner, muted palette, and a "will dispatch on reconnect" footer. No fake progress.

9:41 No service

Queued

Best guess: Yemaya / Board Prep Edit ›

HonestNo animated progress bar when nothing is happening. The activity says queued, not sending.

Best guessPre-computed route shown inline so the user can verify or Edit › the target before reconnect.

PersistenceActivity survives reboot — ActivityKit + BGTask. When connection returns, transitions to sending without user action.
