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.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 5: Metrics & Observability' (Protocol in workflow.md)
