+summary: The board card overseer eye icon now hides when a task's oversight is off, matching the task detail.
+category: fix
+dev: TaskCard gates the planner-overseer Eye badge AND the card-header-badges wrapper predicate on the freshly-resolved effectiveOversightLevel (not just the transient snapshot's stale oversightLevel) via a shared showPlannerOverseerStateBadge boolean, so a stale non-off snapshot can no longer show an oversight icon or leave an empty header-badge shell while the Task Detail reads off.

 - Task cards show a read-only **oversight-level badge** (`Observe`, `Steer`, or `Auto-recovery`) in the meta-badges cluster reflecting the effective planner-oversight level, but only when oversight is *meaningfully configured* — an explicit per-task override (including an explicit `autonomous` override), or a resolved workflow/effective tier of `observe`/`steer` (`data-testid="card-oversight-badge"`). A card that merely **inherits** the schema default `autonomous` tier (no per-task override, no non-default workflow tier) renders no badge and no empty `.card-meta-badges` shell. The badge is also absent when the effective level is explicitly "off", **and** while an inherited (no per-task-override) workflow tier is still being resolved (in flight or not yet fetched) — it never shows a guessed default during that window.
 <!-- FNXC:PlannerOversight 2026-07-04-HH:MM: FN-7542 removed the FN-7516 active-overseer-state ("Executor") indicator described above as unwanted per-card noise — it fired on nearly every in-progress card. The oversight-level badge documented above is unaffected. -->
 <!-- FNXC:PlannerOversight 2026-07-11-00:00: FN-7592 reintroduced a compact active-overseer state indicator as an Eye glyph instead of a wide text badge, using the engine-provided transient plannerOverseerState rather than locally guessing from task fields. -->
+<!-- FNXC:PlannerOversight 2026-07-18-00:00: FN-8239 requires the card Eye badge and card-header-badges wrapper to use the same freshly-resolved effective oversight level as Task Detail, preventing stale non-off runtime snapshots from contradicting the detail's EyeOff state or leaving an empty wrapper. -->
 <!-- FNXC:TaskRevert 2026-07-16-00:00: FN-8066 adds durable source-task revert provenance to the shared board/List TaskCard footer. -->
 - Completed and archived task cards show a compact **Reverted** footer chip after a clean or already-reverted git outcome has persisted the source task's revert marker; conflicts, AI undo tasks, and revert PRs awaiting merge do not show it.
-- Task cards show a compact **planner-overseer eye badge** (`data-testid="planner-overseer-state-badge"`) when the engine reports a non-idle transient `plannerOverseerState`. The eye badge is an active-overseer state marker, not a human-read/view indicator: `watching` means passive monitoring, `steering`/`recovering` mean active guidance or recovery is underway, and `awaiting-confirmation` means a human decision is required before the overseer can continue. Hover exposes the composed tooltip with the overseer's reason, watched stage/signal, and pending-confirmation note when present.
+- Task cards show a compact **planner-overseer eye badge** (`data-testid="planner-overseer-state-badge"`) only when the engine reports a non-idle, non-off transient `plannerOverseerState` **and** the task's freshly-resolved effective oversight level is not `off`. When effective oversight is off, the eye badge and otherwise-empty `.card-header-badges` wrapper are both absent, matching the Task Detail `EyeOff` state. The eye badge is an active-overseer state marker, not a human-read/view indicator: `watching` means passive monitoring, `steering`/`recovering` mean active guidance or recovery is underway, and `awaiting-confirmation` means a human decision is required before the overseer can continue. Hover exposes the composed tooltip with the overseer's reason, watched stage/signal, and pending-confirmation note when present.
 <!-- FNXC:PlannerOversight 2026-07-04-17:00: FN-7517 adds interactive task-detail planner-overseer controls (quick level change, manual nudge, stop oversight, explain current action) alongside the FN-7516 read-only card badges above. These controls live ONLY in TaskDetailModal, not TaskCard.
 
 FNXC:PlannerOversight 2026-07-05-00:00: FN-7604 collapses the desktop inline cluster (documented below through FN-7545/FN-7546) into the single universal overflow-menu dropdown that FN-7545 originally built for mobile only — the dropdown is now the ONE canonical surface on every viewport, desktop included.
