Queue
The Queue is Wardian's app-level triage surface for completed work. It is separate from the workflow engine: agents and workflows can produce outcomes, and the Queue keeps those outcomes visible after the originating terminal or workflow run has moved on.
What Appears in the Queue
Wardian currently records two item types:
- Agent task completed: added when an agent that was active returns to Idle. Wardian uses captured provider or terminal output when available; otherwise it records a generic completion summary.
- Workflow completed or Workflow failed: added when the app receives a final workflow run status. If the workflow produced text output, Wardian can use that as the queue summary.
The Queue is not yet the full human-in-the-loop approval system from the roadmap. Provider approval prompts still surface through agent status and provider-specific UI behavior. The current Queue is for completion review and failure triage.
Reading Queue Items
Open Queue from the top workspace tabs. Unread items appear at the top and increment the Queue tab badge.
Each item shows:
- source type and status
- agent name or workflow name
- relative completion time
- summary text or failure details
Long summaries are collapsed by default. Use Show details to expand them, or Hide details to collapse them again.
Triage Actions
- Click an item to mark it read.
- Use Mark all read when the full queue has been reviewed.
- Use Clear read to remove reviewed items.
- Use the trash icon on an individual item to dismiss it immediately.
Queue items are persisted under the active Wardian home, so unread work survives app restarts. Items older than seven days are ignored when the Queue loads.
Practical Workflow
- Let agents or workflows run from the Grid, Command Panel, CLI, or Workflow view.
- Watch the Queue badge for new completions.
- Open Queue, review summaries, and expand details when the summary was truncated.
- Follow up in the source agent terminal, workflow run, or repository if the item needs action.
- Mark reviewed items read and clear them when they are no longer needed.
