Work Registry

One honest answer to 'is this actually still open?', across every session and every machine.

Live No public endpoint Registry

The problem it solves

Long-running work spread over many sessions produces phantom tasks: items carried forward for weeks that were quietly finished on another machine, and real gaps that everyone assumed someone else had closed. Memory is not a ledger.

How it works

01
Open
work items registered when started
02
Attribute
linked to the session doing the work
03
Close
auto-closed from the commit that finished it
04
Reconcile
nightly sweep against reality
05
Project
one cross-machine view of what is genuinely open

Under the hood

Why it matters

The failure mode of an ambitious system is not doing too little. It is losing track of what it already did.
