 This is the markdown version of the [PyAutoMind Dashboard](https://pyautolabs.github.io/PyAutoMind/), which puts a task's command on your clipboard with a single tap of 📋.
 
 Every task the Mind is holding, on one page: what is in flight, what is parked, and the whole backlog to pick from. Pick a task and run its `/start_dev` command in a Claude Code chat to start it. [Recent](#recent) is the same work by date — what has been happening rather than what to do next.
 
-> **Last updated 2026-08-25.** This page is generated from `active/`, `draft/` and the registry files, so it is only as current as they are. `dashboard_refresh.yml` re-renders it on every push to `main` — that heals a stale page, but not a stale prompt: a task that shipped without its prompt advancing to `complete/` keeps rendering here as pickable backlog. Reconciling those is the refresh below.

+
+The flag used to `source scripts/pyauto_status.sh` and call a `pyauto-status`
+shell function. Both went with the cross-repo dashboard when it became a leg of
+the Heart-owned health door, so the branch sourced a missing file — and because
+it ended in `exit 0`, it reported success while printing nothing at all. Silent
+success is the part worth pinning: a caller could not tell the dashboard had
+gone (issue #331).
+
+These tests run the real script rather than grepping it, because the failure was
+in what the shell *did* with the branch, not in how it read.
+
+Fictional fixtures only, per `test_spawn_privacy.py` — `tests/**` is KEEP-copied
+verbatim into the public template, so nothing here names a real task or prompt.
