Sidebar Task Completion Icons Requirements

Overview

The task sidebar currently gives every finished turn the same green circled check, so users cannot tell whether the agent merely finished its current turn or the task also reached the end of its workflow.

Requirements

REQ-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001: Sidebar Task Completion Icons

Intent: The task sidebar currently gives every finished turn the same green circled check, so users cannot tell whether the agent merely finished its current turn or the task also reached the end of its workflow.

Acceptance criteria

AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.1: A task with a finished turn that is not on the last step of its workflow shows the green progress-check icon with a dashed circular outline.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.2: A task with a finished turn that is on the last step of its workflow keeps the current green circle-check icon with a continuous circular outline.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.3: The last step is the final ordered step of the workflow that owns the task.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.4: Only an exact match between the task's current step and its workflow's last known step is treated as workflow completion. Missing workflow or step data uses the progress-check icon rather than claiming the workflow is complete.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.5: Desktop sidebar rows and the mobile task-switcher drawer expose the same distinction through their shared task-row rendering.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.6: Running, background work, scheduling, pending clarification, pending permission, backlog, failure, and cancellation icon precedence remains unchanged.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.7: GIVEN a task whose turn is finished on a non-final workflow step, WHEN the task appears in the desktop sidebar, THEN its green status icon is progress-check with a dashed circle.
AC-UI-SIDEBAR-TASK-COMPLETION-ICONS-001.8: GIVEN a task whose turn is finished on the final workflow step, WHEN the task appears in the desktop sidebar, THEN its green status icon is the existing continuous circle-check.

Why

What

A task with a finished turn that is not on the last step of its workflow shows the green progress-check icon with a dashed circular outline.
A task with a finished turn that is on the last step of its workflow keeps the current green circle-check icon with a continuous circular outline.
The last step is the final ordered step of the workflow that owns the task.
Only an exact match between the task's current step and its workflow's last known step is treated as workflow completion. Missing workflow or step data uses the progress-check icon rather than claiming the workflow is complete.
Desktop sidebar rows and the mobile task-switcher drawer expose the same distinction through their shared task-row rendering.
Running, background work, scheduling, pending clarification, pending permission, backlog, failure, and cancellation icon precedence remains unchanged.

Scenarios

GIVEN a task whose turn is finished on a non-final workflow step, WHEN the task appears in the desktop sidebar, THEN its green status icon is progress-check with a dashed circle.
GIVEN a task whose turn is finished on the final workflow step, WHEN the task appears in the desktop sidebar, THEN its green status icon is the existing continuous circle-check.
GIVEN finished tasks on non-final and final workflow steps, WHEN the user opens the mobile task-switcher drawer, THEN the rows show the same progress-versus-complete icon distinction as desktop.
GIVEN a finished task whose workflow steps are unavailable or do not contain its current step, WHEN the row renders, THEN it shows progress-check.
GIVEN a task with a higher-priority active or pending state, WHEN the row renders, THEN that existing state icon is shown regardless of the task's workflow position.

Out of scope

Changing task or session lifecycle states, workflow transitions, or step ordering.
Changing status icons on kanban cards, graphs, task headers, recent-task switchers, or Office surfaces.
Adding backend, API, persistence, or feature-flag state.
Changing sidebar or mobile task-switcher layout, navigation, touch targets, or scroll behavior.
