Answering "where do we stand" took three separate questions: what is done, what is still running, and how sure the agent is. confidence answers only the last one, and only for a bundle it just staged; observe watches a single named target and speaks only when that target changes. Neither gives the whole picture on demand.
The skill reads the todo list, the working tree, live background jobs and agents, and the branch's PRs with their checks, then prints one table - item, state, fix confidence, break risk, evidence or next step - followed by at most three lines for blocked, residuals and running.
It is read-only by construction: no edit, no stage, no deploy, no started work. The percentages route to confidence instead of inventing a second scale, and done means verified, so work that merely looks finished stays open. A source that could not be read produces no row rather than a guessed one.
