See the day in order. Decide what closes it.

Four registers: what needs you, what moves the book forward, what you are waiting on, and a supervisor's roster, absent unless the server says you supervise. Counts come off one snapshot. Six rows stay visible, the rest fold by matter, and dated work never folds.

Each row opens with one verb: Calendar, Review, Re-scan, Log time, Top up, Send. The verb is derived from the action the row resolved to, so it cannot promise a click the row lacks. Write-path prefixes are stripped and the kind moves to the caption.

Open tasks are reduced to stories by one deterministic module with no model in it and no clock read of its own, so the app, the daily brief and the notification cannot tell three different stories about the same day.

A row says why this one before the next, from a routed model over recorded propositions. It points, never transcribes: a quote survives as a verbatim substring of a recorded one, the pincite is the assertion's page. It writes one field, never the ordering timestamp.

Every kind is an obligation, an idea, plumbing, or owed by an outsider. An obligation has a person or clock behind it and may notify. An idea never rings, badges or mails, and keeps a named home. Unrecognized kinds default to obligation; nothing is deleted.

A hundred and sixty-six task kinds each name their surface, the metadata key holding their subject, and whether they promise an action in the row. Precedence resolves as data rather than by a URL builder, and a destination that cannot render carries its reason instead.

Every candidate carries a stable key, so a re-scan refreshes the open row rather than minting another. A dismissed row is left alone; a person-resolved one is never reopened. Only a row the engine closed may come back, so a retainer can run low twice.

A litigation deadline runs from a trigger, service, entry of judgment, a filing, under a cited rule an attorney confirms, and reaches this board as a suggestion to calendar with its derivation stored beside it. Two recorded acts stop the reminder: met, and cancelled.

The task table is a proposal queue. Acting on a row hands the machine no arguments the client authored: the server reloads the row, compiles them from the authoritative record, then enters the same authorization, conflict, confirmation and audit chain every other surface runs.

Dated and ethics-critical kinds cannot be muted, digested away or buried by a learned preference, enforced at the miner, the route and the predicate every channel calls, so a row reaching the settings table another way is inert. A snooze is clamped to its runway.

Running work has its own board: what needs you, what is running, what is waiting, what finished. A row carries whether a person, trigger or proposal started it, and what its next step would do, from the capability's declaration. A stalled run is named.

A verified inbound message the router could not attach to a matter was discarded. It now lands in a firm inbox with its sender, its channel, a triage classification and a matter picker filing it through the same pipeline as mail that routed itself.

An ask to a client carries why the team needs it, what an answer must contain, and its date's basis. No date is shown bare: a court rule is named, an attorney-chosen date says so, and a basis-free date says it is no court deadline.

Undated work on a paused matter leaves the attention lanes: the pause was deliberate and hygiene waits. Dated work is untouched, and the statute and conflict screen stay on the clock by kind; a court does not pause when a firm does. Holdbacks are counted.

One bounded read answers the three re-entry questions: what you were in the middle of, what people and the record did while you were away, and what you owe within the week. It runs on counts and short lines, and a read failure fails closed.

The evening sweep groups the day's audited work by matter, finds billable activity unbilled that day, lists what you left open, and stages one move for tomorrow. Today is the firm's calendar day. It never writes time, and opening a file is attention, never work.
