       <p>The <a href="/docs/#console-installation">Console</a> reads this machine's Commands and opens on its <strong>Inbox</strong>. Filesystem changes wake its Inbox and log readers; process exits and elapsed-time boundaries have their own wakeups. A slow recovery check catches missed notifications and expired sessions. A signed-in account can <strong>Stop</strong> or Requeue a live Command. It does nothing the CLI can't do and starts no work (<a href="https://github.com/JacobStephens2/thirdshift/blob/main/docs/adr/0016-the-console-is-a-long-running-reader.md">ADR-0016</a>).</p>
       <p>The Console reads ready rows' pull requests and Needs you rows' issues and pull requests in a batched GraphQL query in the background once a minute, with blocking <code>gh</code> calls off its async thread. It keeps one answer per machine beside the logs. A changed answer or warning wakes open Inbox pages through the file watcher; unchanged reads update freshness without rendering or waking pages. <code>thirdshift status</code> uses that answer and reads GitHub itself only when it is missing or five minutes old. Failed reads retain the last facts and failure; after five minutes without a good read, both readers warn with when GitHub last answered and why the latest read failed. Both share a quota gate: fewer than 500 GraphQL points or REST requests holds off all their reads until reset, with a warning, preserving the rest for the factory. These limits and timings are not User config settings. An ended Needs you row moves to Done, Resolved or History when its issue closes or its pull request merges; a Triage row also moves when <code>needs-triage</code> is removed. Architect and Security runs use their dispatched Spec run's or Ticket run's issue and pull request. Live Silent and Slow rows stay until their Commands end. Ready rows leave on a merged or closed pull request. Resolved counts from the settlement time, and only rows GitHub cannot speak for age out while still waiting. Reopening brings back rows still in Done or Resolved. Rows in History retain the last facts without further reads, including when another row shares their issue or pull request. Dismissals hold across GitHub changes, and Undo uses the latest kept facts. These reads never write to GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/JacobStephens2/thirdshift/blob/main/docs/adr/0023-the-inbox-reads-github-to-learn-the-day-shift-acted.md">ADR-0023</a>).</p>

Each read adds one paginated REST list per repository with a Security run whose findings were waiting, respecting the quota reserve and using the Security run’s private-storage selection. The kept answer holds only finding URLs and waiting flags, with the first observed triage time; it retains no finding title, severity or write-up. A Finding leaves saying “findings triaged” once its records no longer wait: a draft advisory without severity or an open <code>security-finding</code> issue labelled <code>needs-triage</code> waits, and a record closed by a merged fix does not.</p>
