+category: fix
+dev: isTaskAgentActive treats needs-replan (and plan-in-place replan freshness) as agent-active for board/list chrome; lock policy documented in taskActivity FNXC.

 FNXC:TaskActivity 2026-07-28-12:00:
 FN-8300 also honors a bounded, client-only fresh planner-log timestamp for triage cards. The log stream can arrive before the authoritative planning-status row; this render-only fallback closes that window without changing routing/model locks.
 
+FNXC:TaskActivity 2026-07-22-09:25:
+FN-8494 requires cards parked in the engine's durable `needs-replan` planning stage to keep their activity chrome on both triage and plan-in-place todo lanes. This is rendering-only: do not add `needs-replan` to ACTIVE_STATUSES, because model and routing pickers use that set as a long-lived lock policy while this predicate only describes live operator chrome. Extend the bounded fresh-log window to the todo replan lane so an incoming planner log remains represented consistently there.
+
 Stuck-killed and both terminal columns are never active, even when stale execution status or workflow-step data remains on the task.
 
 Model-resolution and routing locks intentionally import only ACTIVE_STATUSES and retain their status-or-in-progress policy; using this rendering predicate there would change lock behavior during status-null workflow steps.
