- The catch board lists named boats with landing times, elapsed runtimes, and statuses including “STILL RUNNING” and “SHIPPED + REVIEWED.”
Field notes
The catch board gives the metaphor an operational layer: it lists CLAUDE NO.7, CODEX NO.2, and other boats with landing times, time at sea, and status. A separate feature description says parallel agents use git worktrees to avoid editing the same file; the page also presents a local token-counting proxy as a real mechanism, while calling the displayed fish weights a joke.
