OTel Query Integration
Query Prometheus metrics and Loki logs directly from the orchestration monitor with built-in cost
tracking, token usage, and tool analytics. The integration pulls data from your always-on OTel
Docker stack through cached HTTP clients, adding enriched session views without impacting
performance when OTel is disabled. Configure endpoints in ~/.catalyst/config.json or use
PROMETHEUS_URL and LOKI_URL environment variables.

AI-Powered Status Briefing
The orchestration monitor now includes an optional AI briefing panel that generates natural-language status summaries and suggests session labels using Claude or OpenAI models. Click the briefing panel’s generate button to get contextual insights about your current development sessions, with auto-refresh available for ongoing projects. The feature routes through Cloudflare AI Gateway and includes XSS protection for safe rendering of generated content.

Session Detail View
Click any worker row in the orch-monitor to open a dedicated session page with phase timeline, live cost tracking, tool usage bars, and event history. The detail view updates automatically when new snapshots arrive, giving you real-time visibility into individual Claude sessions without leaving the dashboard.

Ghost Worker Filter & Cost Tracking
The orchestration monitor now filters out ghost worker rows caused by output files and correctly discovers all orchestrator directories regardless of naming. The cost card shows total token counts with input/output/cache breakdown and per-model cost aggregation for better resource tracking.

Historical Analytics & Session Querying
Navigate to /history in the monitor dashboard to explore session analytics with cost trends, skill
performance metrics, and a searchable session table with filtering and pagination. The new CLI
commands catalyst-session.sh history, stats, and compare let you query and analyze session
data directly from the terminal. Full API support available at /api/history/* endpoints for custom
integrations.

Zero-Config Monitor Management
Run catalyst-monitor start to launch the orchestration monitor in the background, then use stop,
status, open, or url commands to manage it without manual server juggling. The monitor now
writes a PID file for clean lifecycle management and automatic stale process cleanup.

Session Labeling System
Add meaningful display names to Claude sessions using the optional label field in worker signals,
automatically derived from <skill> <ticket> patterns or set with the --label flag. Labels appear
in both terminal and web monitor dashboards, making it easier to identify and track specific
development sessions at a glance.

Multi-Frontend SSE Event Architecture
Catalyst now sends all orchestration events through a standardized envelope format with filtering
support. Connect multiple frontends or tools to the same session using SSE query params like
?filter=session-update,metrics-update or ?session=abc123 to get only the events you need. The
new typed event system supports session updates, metrics changes, and annotation events with
automatic envelope wrapping for consistent downstream processing.

Session-Aware Skills
All six Catalyst skills now automatically track their execution as observable sessions with lifecycle events and phase transitions. Each skill run creates a session entry that links parent workflows to child operations, giving you full visibility into your AI-assisted development workflows. The skills gracefully degrade when session tracking isn’t available, so existing workflows continue working unchanged.

SQLite Session Integration
Solo Claude Code sessions now appear directly in the orchestration monitor alongside workflow
workers, giving you one unified view of all AI development activity. The session store reader
integrates with existing filesystem monitoring, so you can track and filter both orchestrated and
standalone sessions through the same /api/sessions endpoint and live SSE streams.
