+# Implementation Plan: Comprehensive Conductor & MMA GUI UX
+
+## Phase 1: Track Lifecycle & Management UI
+- [ ] Task: Implement the Track Browser panel.
+- [ ] Task: Add GUI forms for `/conductor:setup` and `/conductor:newTrack`.
+- [ ] Task: Create a visual indicator for "Active Track" and its status.
+- [ ] Task: Write tests for Track initialization via GUI.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Track Lifecycle & Management UI' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 2: MMA Orchestration Dashboard & History
+- [ ] Task: Implement a multi-viewport docking system for MMA panels.
+- [ ] Task: Create dedicated view panels for each Tier (Orchestrator, Tech Lead, Worker, QA).
+- [ ] Task: Implement real-time streaming for each tier's discussion history.
+- [ ] Task: Apply arcade-style "blinking" and color-coded status indicators.
+- [ ] Task: Write tests for asynchronous log streaming and UI updates.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: MMA Orchestration Dashboard & History' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 3: Interactive Task DAG
+- [ ] Task: Build the interactive DAG visualizer using Dear PyGui nodes.
+- [ ] Task: Implement logic for node state visualization (Ready, Running, Blocked, Done).
+- [ ] Task: Add functionality for manual DAG editing (reorder, insert, delete tasks).
+- [ ] Task: Write tests for manual DAG manipulation and synchronization.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Interactive Task DAG' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 4: Execution Clutch & Spawn Interceptor
+- [ ] Task: Implement the global "Execution Clutch" (Step Mode vs. Auto-Queue).
+- [ ] Task: Build the "Approve Worker Spawn" modal with prompt and context editing.
+- [ ] Task: Add explicit "Accept" buttons for all major orchestration transitions.
+- [ ] Task: Write tests for "Human-in-the-Loop" flow and blocking behaviors.
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Execution Clutch & Spawn Interceptor' (Protocol in workflow.md)
+
+## Phase 5: Metrics & Observability
+- [ ] Task: Implement high-density telemetry widgets (FPS, CPU, latency).
+- [ ] Task: Add real-time token and cost tracking per tier/track.
+- [ ] Task: Integrate API metrics into the Hub/Operations view.
+- [ ] Task: Write tests for data aggregation and real-time visualization.

+# Track Specification: Comprehensive Conductor & MMA GUI UX
+
+## Overview
+This track aims to implement a comprehensive, high-density, and tactile GUI for controlling all aspects of the Conductor orchestration and the 4-Tier Hierarchical Multi-Model Architecture (MMA). The focus is on providing the user with explicit, granular control over the entire lifecycle of a track, from initialization to task execution, with a "Manual First" philosophy.
+
+## Goals
+1.  **Conductor Lifecycle Management:** Implement UI components for `/conductor:setup`, `/conductor:newTrack`, and a robust Track Browser.
+2.  **MMA Orchestration Dashboard:** Create a multi-viewport modular system for monitoring and managing the 4-Tier hierarchy.
+3.  **Task DAG Management:** Implement an interactive DAG visualizer that allows the user to reorder, insert, and delete tasks/tickets incrementally.
+4.  **Tier-Specific Discussion History:** Provide dedicated visual panels for each tier agent's (Orchestrator, Tech Lead, Worker, QA) discussion history and streaming output.
+5.  **Manual Execution Control:** Ensure every event, task transition, and sub-agent spawn requires manual user acceptance by default, with opt-in automation.
+6.  **Metrics & Observability:** Integrate real-time telemetry, token usage, and cost tracking for each tier and track.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+-   **Track Browser:** A central hub for viewing, selecting, and managing implementation tracks.
+-   **Interactive Task DAG:** A node-based UI (using Dear PyGui) for visualizing task dependencies. Users can manually manipulate the graph (reorder, add, remove nodes).
+-   **Tier History Panels:** Separate viewing modes for the logs/discussions of each tier agent.
+-   **Execution Clutch:** A global toggle for "Step Mode" vs. "Auto-Queue", with the default being manual step-through.
+-   **Spawn Interceptor:** An improved modal for reviewing and editing worker prompts/context before they are dispatched.
+-   **Observability Widgets:** High-density monitors for FPS, CPU, and API metrics (latency, token burn, cost).
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+-   **Arcade Aesthetics:** Use blinking notifications, visceral color-coded feedback (Ready, Running, Blocked, Done), and high-contrast visuals (USA Graphics style).
+-   **Asynchronous Responsibility:** The UI must remain responsive during multi-model generation using the `AsyncEventQueue`.
+-   **Modular Layout:** Support for docking, floating, and rearranging all Conductor/MMA windows.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+-   Users can initialize and manage tracks entirely through the GUI.
+-   The Task DAG accurately reflects the state of the active track and allows manual editing.
+-   Each tier agent's history is viewable in a dedicated panel.
+-   The "Manual Acceptance" flow is enforced for all MMA actions by default.
+-   API metrics and telemetry are visible and update in real-time.
+
+## Out of Scope
+-   Automated "Auto-Fix" loops without user intervention.
+-   Remote management via web browser (staying local GUI for now).
