The Crew Shows Up — Live Character Indicators on the Run Panel

Six steam-punk character portraits — Financial-Analyst, Researcher, Writer, Editor, Fact-Checker, Scorecard-Generator — now sit above the JobView's 3-column grid during a memo run. The character whose stage is active glows with a slow breathing border; the rest stay visible but quiet. A live caption under the active character names the work in progress, swapping as the underlying milestones advance. The cast is authored in a single human-editable markdown file (`src/lib/characters.md`) — frontmatter holds names, stage mappings, default captions, and forward-compat agent-precise captions for v2. Mike retunes the wording without touching code.
