Work report

The Queen HUD now explains why free bees are idle from /queen/status, relabels the unreviewed count as finished without a verdict, and no longer crashes when the round popover opens with the real skip summary.

What changed

• apps/website/src/components/queenHud.ts: skipCounts, idleReason and idleLine read the refusal, skip counts and staleness from /queen/status with the server clock.
• apps/website/src/pages/Queen.tsx: the BEES tile sub-line and an idle line with the reason and an example link, the round popover lists counts instead of rendering objects, and new en and ru copy.
• apps/website/src/pages/Queen.css: idle line placement for desktop, portrait phones, landscape phones and the collapsed rail without covering controls.
• apps/website/qa/queen-idle-reason-contract.mjs, qa/queen-idle-layout-contract.mjs, qa/fixtures/queen-status and qa/queen-honesty-contract.mjs: contracts over real status snapshots and layout.

Context and reasoning

The question: the owner saw 0 of 4 bees on the Queen and asked why they were broken.

The answer on the wire: a healthy idle swarm whose scheduler found nothing to choose, because 449 of 488 issues lacked a Boundary section.

The change: the HUD reads the refusal and skip counts and prints them, with an example of an issue bees can take.

The honesty rules: no reason from stale data, counts that must add up, and labels that never need grammatical agreement.

The bug found on the way: the round popover crashed the page on the real skip summary.

Reported verification

• [failed] Command: node --experimental-strip-types qa/queen-idle-reason-contract.mjs before the implementation. Result: Control, expected to fail: queenHud.ts provides no idleLine export.. Evidence: Session scratchpad idle-shots/contract-before.log
• [passed] Command: npm run check:queen-idle; node qa/queen-idle-layout-contract.mjs --dist dist. Result: 71 idle-reason checks over four real status snapshots and edge cases, and 26 layout checks at desktop, phone and landscape sizes, pass on the build rebased onto main.. Evidence: Local runs in the feat/queen-idle-explained worktree after the rebase
• [passed] Command: Headless Chrome render of the base and the branch build with the real healthy-idle status stubbed, clicking the round tile. Result: The base build crashes with React error 31 when the round popover opens; the branch build lists the skip counts with no exceptions and shows the idle line unclipped in en and ru.. Evidence: Session scratchpad idle-shots before and after screenshots
• [passed] Command: npm run typecheck:ratchet; eslint on changed files; check:tri; check:tri-identity; check:queen-languages; check:explorer-languages; npx vite build. Result: Type errors stay at the baseline and every contract and the production build pass.. Evidence: Local runs in the feat/queen-idle-explained worktree after the rebase

Limits and open questions

• On landscape phones 500 px tall or less the idle sentence is hidden.
• The example link is a fixed format example, because /queen/status does not expose the configured repository.
• The layout contract is not wired into continuous integration.
