Summary

  • Inbox button renamed Ready → Hand to agent → ready (desktop quick action + mobile action bar), matching the existing Approve → Done / Hand back → ready naming pattern.
  • ready status pill gets a title tooltip: "Agent picks this up next" (shown on board column header and card tiles).
  • New-card dialog adds a hint under Type: "New cards start in inbox. Move to ready when you want the agent on it." (only shown when creating into inbox, not when creating directly into a target status).

Follow-up on task_44c3: a new user reading just the word "ready" has no cue that it hands the card to the agent. Proposal was posted as a card comment on 2026-09-14 and went unanswered for over a month; implementing now since the changes are small, reversible, copy/tooltip-only, and match patterns already used elsewhere in the UI.

Test plan

  • npm run build (tsc) succeeds
  • Ran the built server against a scratch data dir (not production data), verified in a real browser: inbox card shows "Hand to agent → ready" button (desktop + mobile action bar), new-card dialog shows the inbox hint when targeting inbox and hides it when targeting ready directly
  • Visual check of the ready-pill tooltip text itself (title attribute added per code pattern used by other title-based chips in the file; not independently re-verified via hover due to tooling)

Research (card task_44c3) found three spots where a new user could
read "ready" without realizing it triggers the agent: the inbox
button just said "Ready", the ready status pill carried no
explanation, and the new-card dialog never mentioned that cards wait
in inbox until moved.
