## `fn task list` never printed cards in renamed columns
```ts
for (const col of COLUMNS) { // the legacy six ids
const colTasks = tasks.filter((t) => t.column === col);
```
A task in a workflow-defined column matches **no iteration**, so it is
not printed. This is not a wrong label or a wrong glyph — **the card is
absent**, and the output reads as a shorter, healthy board rather than
as a bug. On a fully renamed board the command prints nothing but the
header. `COLUMNS` also still contains `triage`, which U11 (#2515)
deleted.
## Found where the previous author left it
The `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` note directly above this loop is correct about
its own glyph, and it named the deeper bug rather than hiding it:
> NOT claimed as trait-resolved, and the deeper bug is left alone:
because the loop iterates the legacy enum, a card in a workflow-renamed
column is not rendered AT ALL. That is the R8/U10 surface change […] and
a far bigger fix than this glyph.
It also predicted the coupling: *"If this ever iterates
workflow-resolved columns, that difference becomes live and the right
answer is a trait lookup, not this."* So both move together — once the
loop can yield a custom id, the terminal test **must** stop being an id
comparison. Fixing only the loop would leave a renamed done-lane
rendering as active work.
## Two deliberate choices
**Lanes come from the tasks, not from a resolved IR.** A board can span
several workflows and therefore has no single column list, and a card
must never depend on a resolution succeeding in order to be *visible*.
Legacy ids keep their familiar order and labels; anything else follows
alphabetically, so output is deterministic.
**Terminal lanes are resolved**, via
`resolveProjectColumnsForRoles(TERMINAL_ROLES)` — that is a display
question with a real answer, and this function is async with a store in
hand. Best-effort: a failed resolve falls back to the legacy pair rather
than failing the command, and an unresolved custom lane renders as
*active*. Showing a finished card with the wrong glyph is a far smaller
error than the blank board this replaces.
## Coverage, and its limit stated plainly
The lane-selection decision is extracted to an exported seam and tested
there. It is **not** end-to-end: `runTaskList` resolves a real project
context and ends in `process.exit`, so driving it would need the
mock-the-world shell `docs/testing.md` tells us to avoid when a narrower
seam exists. The call site is held by the compiler instead — the loop's
only source of lanes is that function. I have written this in the test
file rather than leaving it implied, because "5 passed" on a helper
could otherwise read as proof of the command's behaviour.
Reverted — the seam returning `[...COLUMNS]`, which is exactly what the
loop did — **all 5 cases fail**:
```
AssertionError: expected [ 'triage', 'todo', …(4) ] to deeply equal [ 'backlog', 'building', 'checking' ]
AssertionError: expected [ 'triage', 'todo', …(4) ] to deeply equal [ 'todo', 'shipped' ]
Tests 5 failed (5)
```
## Verification (measured)
- **86 passed / 3 files** — new suite plus `bin.test.ts` and
`pr-merge-review-lane.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint` — clean
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring` (26, none
added), `check-fnxc-future-dates` — green
- `pnpm check:changesets` — clean; changeset included (`patch`), since
`packages/cli` is the published `@runfusion/fusion` and this is
user-facing

Install
Zero install, straight from npm:
npx runfusion.ai
Boots the dashboard. Subcommands forward through (npx runfusion.ai task list, etc). Long form: npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard.
One-line installer (macOS & Linux — auto-picks Homebrew, falls back to npm):
curl -fsSL https://runfusion.ai/install.sh | sh
Homebrew (macOS & Linux):
brew install runfusion/fusion/fusion
Fully-qualified install auto-taps and, on Homebrew 6.0+, trusts only this formula. If short-name install fails with “untrusted tap”, run brew trust --formula runfusion/fusion/fusion then brew install fusion.
npm global:
npm install -g @runfusion/fusion
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard
Launch the dashboard
From a shell:
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard / npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard
fn dashboard --paused # start with automation paused
fn dashboard --dev # development-mode dashboard + AI engine
fn dashboard --no-engine # web UI only, no AI engine
The dashboard gives you:
- A live kanban board — tasks move through columns automatically as AI works on them
- Task detail view — generated spec, step-by-step progress, reviewer verdicts, full execution log
- Dependency-aware scheduling — declare task dependencies or let the engine infer them
- Auto-merge — on by default; reviewed work squash-merges without you lifting a finger
- Parallel execution — independent tasks run simultaneously in isolated git worktrees
- Self-sustaining board — agents may spawn follow-up tasks; the board feeds itself
Your entire dev environment. On a single pane of glass.
Describe a task in plain language. A triage agent reads your project, understands context, and writes a full PROMPT.md spec — steps, file scope, acceptance criteria. Then Fusion plans, reviews, executes, and reviews again, in an isolated git worktree, with a human approval gate wherever you want one.
One board. Controlled from anywhere. Laptop, Mac mini, Linux server, cloud VM, phone — all connected.

How it works
You create a task with a rough description. A pipeline of specialized agents takes over.
Specification. A triage agent reads your codebase — file structure, existing patterns, related code — and turns your rough idea into a detailed spec. It breaks the work into discrete steps, identifies which files are in scope, writes acceptance criteria, and assigns a complexity rating that determines how aggressively the work gets reviewed.
Scheduling. Tasks declare dependencies on each other. The scheduler builds a dependency graph and starts work only when upstream tasks are done. Independent tasks run in parallel — each in its own isolated git worktree, so there are no conflicts during execution.
Execution & review. An executor agent works through the spec step by step in the worktree. At each step boundary, a separate reviewer agent, with read-only access, independently evaluates the work. The reviewer can approve (continue), request revisions (fix specific issues), or force a rethink (change the approach entirely). Review depth scales with the task's complexity rating: trivial tasks get light checks, complex tasks get thorough multi-pass review.
Merge. When execution finishes and the reviewer signs off, the task moves to In Review:
- Direct merge (default) — automatically squash-merges the completed task branch into your current branch with a clean commit.
- Pull request — automatically creates or links a GitHub PR, waits for reviews/checks, then merges once policy conditions are satisfied.
autoMerge controls whether Fusion performs completion automatically. If disabled, tasks stay in In Review until you finish the merge yourself. For PR-first mode, authenticate GitHub with gh auth login.
Tasks flow through: Triage → Todo → In Progress → In Review → Done.
This execution model is heavily based on Taskplane.

Working from chat
Manage tasks without leaving the conversation:
"Every ten minutes, analyze the server code for logic the client hasn't implemented yet and create tasks. Tasks may spawn additional tasks, so just add enough to keep the board saturated."
"Create a Fusion task to fix the login redirect bug"
"Add a task for dark mode support, it depends on FN-003"
"What's the status of FN-042"
"Attach screenshot.png to FN-007"
"Pause FN-012 — I want to add more context first"
The Fusion extension exposes tools to create tasks, check progress, attach files, and pause or resume automation.
Standalone CLI
See STANDALONE.md for additional installation and usage options.
Optional provider: Factory AI via Droid CLI
@runfusion/fusion now ships a vendored @fusion/droid-cli extension in the published CLI bundle.
To use it:
- Install the
droidbinary and ensure it is on yourPATH - Authenticate with Droid CLI (
droid auth login) - In Fusion dashboard, go to Settings → Authentication and enable Factory AI — via Droid CLI
- Restart Fusion when prompted so the extension is loaded into the runtime
Once enabled, droid-cli models appear in Fusion model selection.
Maintainer note: workspace plugins in published CLI bundles
When CLI or dashboard runtime code imports workspace plugin packages (for example @fusion-plugin-examples/roadmap), those imports must stay statically analyzable and covered by packages/cli/tsup.config.ts noExternal rules so plugin runtime code is inlined into dist/bin.js.
Do not introduce dynamic or variable module specifiers for workspace plugin runtime paths in the published execution path. If a workspace plugin is needed for bundled auto-install, stage a bundled plugin entry (dist/plugins/<id>/bundled.js) rather than copying raw TypeScript source into dist/.
