Run curate and query tasks without dropping to the terminal. Kick one off, watch it run, and come back to any past task — everything stays where you left it, even after you restart the daemon.

​

What you can do

• Curate new knowledge into the context tree
• Ask a question about the context tree and read the answer alongside the agent’s reasoning
• Follow a running task step by step while it works
• Browse, filter, and revisit every task you’ve ever run on this project

​

Curate vs query

Curate writes new knowledge into the context tree. Query asks a question about the context tree and returns an answer grounded in the knowledge the agent pulls from it. Both start from the same place — only the intent differs.

​

Task history

Every task is journaled to disk per project, so the list survives daemon restarts and brv upgrades. The most recent 1000 tasks per project are kept; older entries roll off automatically.

​

What’s in the list

Each row shows the task’s ID, type (curate or query), provider and model, the input, status, when it started, and how long it ran.

​

Filter and search

Use the filter menu to narrow the list:

• Status — running, completed, errored, cancelled
• Type — curate or query
• Provider and model — the LLM that ran the task
• Duration — short, medium, long, or very long
• Date range — created after / before
• Free-text search over the task input

Active filters appear as removable chips above the table; one click clears them all.

​

Pagination

Long histories are paginated, with the page and active filters reflected in the URL so refreshing the tab keeps you in place.

​

Open a task

Click any row to open the task detail view. The full event log replays exactly what happened — agent reasoning, tool calls and their results, the final answer or curate summary — so a finished task reads the same way it did while it was running.

​

Bulk delete

Tick the checkbox on one or more rows to select them; the bulk-actions bar shows {N} selected with a Delete action. Removed tasks vanish from the list immediately.
