When a project is occupied, its badge reads like a tiny status line: Busy - who - objective - expires. Here is each part.
Reading the badge
- Busy - the project currently has one active work session; a new START would get
PROJECT_BUSY. - Who - the holder of the turn: an AI assistant, or a collaborator's session.
- Objective - the short purpose line set at START, for example "fix checkout page".
- Expires - roughly when the turn lapses if it is not ended or kept alive sooner.
Why it is useful
The objective and expires values are chosen when the session starts; who is the party that claimed the turn; Busy is the project state SyncNow maintains and shares across PCs. At a glance you know not just that a project is taken, but by whom, for what, and for how long. That is usually enough to decide whether to wait, let the session expire, or revoke it.
