task-status

Track Linear task poller progress by combining a local poller tracking JSON, Zellij session states, and JSONL transcript entries to map sessions to ACTIVE, EXITED, or MISSING and compute durations. This provides real-time status visibility for auto-processed background tasks.

Missing Zellij terminal sessions occur when the poller tracking JSON indicates a session should exist but Zellij no longer reports it. The task status check maps this discrepancy to a MISSING state, surfacing sessions that exited unexpectedly or lost their terminal attachment.

View the last assistant activity from a JSONL transcript by reading the most recent assistant message from the per-session file. The status summary formats this output with truncation by default, or displays the full last assistant output when passing the --all flag.

See detailed task status output for all Linear poller sessions at once by requesting deeper details or passing the --all flag. This overrides the default truncated view and displays the full last assistant output alongside the computed session durations and state mappings.

A Linear auto-task session marked as EXITED means the background agent process has terminated and is no longer actively processing the issue. The status check identifies this by comparing the poller tracking JSON against active Zellij session states to confirm the agent stopped running.

Zellij is required to monitor automation status for Linear background tasks because the session state mapping relies on Zellij to report active terminal processes. The tracker cross-references Zellij session states with poller JSON and JSONL transcripts to compute accurate task durations and states.
