+**Every ten minutes, and at once when something lands, stops or needs the operator,** the lead reports, in
+one of the two layouts below. Times are local and absolute; every number has its unit and its bound or
+baseline; an issue is named by its number and a few words, never by its number alone.
+
+**The full layout** (in the session):
+
+```
+Feature <slug> · step <n> of <m> · phase <name>, <minutes used> of <bound> min
+Issues: <landed> of <total> landed · <fixing> fixing · <waiting> waiting
+
+| Issue | What | Repository | State | Since | Bound |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 652 | assignments on the bus | mesh-controller | landed | 14:02 | |
+| 736 | placement words leave the layers | mesh-controller | fixing, 23 min | 13:51 | 30 min |
+| 751 | config keys named | mesh-catalog | waits for 736 | 13:40 | |
+
+Past its bound: <the wait, how long, what is being done> — or "none"
+Needs you: <one line per question, with my recommendation> — or "nothing"
+Allowance: week <n> % (<+d> since the last report), session <n> %
+Next: <the next action, one line>
+```
+
+**The short layout** (on a channel such as Telegram, or when nothing changed but time):
+
+```
+<slug> step <n>/<m> · <phase> <used>/<bound> min · <landed>/<total> landed · past bound: <none | what> · needs you: <nothing | what> · week <n> %
+```
+
+A report says what changed since the last one first; an unchanged table is not repeated, the short layout
+says it instead.
