 # QUEUE — the one task list

-are the owner of that row.
+Read this first. One row per piece. The table between the markers is
+rendered from `docs/plans/queue.json`, and `scripts/mosaic queue` is its only
+writer. Don't edit the table by hand: `queue verify` and the commit hook
+refuse a table that isn't the render. `packages/queue/README.md` has the verbs.
 
 How to find your next thing:
 
-- **Jason**: the first row whose State starts with `Jason:`.
-- **A seat**: the first row where Owner is you and State is `in progress`,
-  `in review` or `briefed`. If there is none, you have nothing; say so on the
-  board and stop.
-- **Sage, project lead** (Jason's ruling 2026-09-26; Darkwing before that): update this table at every gate, before
-  anything else is written. CURRENT.md is the narrative log; this table wins
+- **A seat**: run `scripts/mosaic queue next`. It names the row to resume,
+  review or start, or says there is nothing; if nothing, say so on the board
+  and stop.
+- **Jason**: rows in state `waiting-on-jason`, and parked rows to reopen.
+- **Sage, project lead** (Jason's ruling 2026-09-26): changes the queue with
+  `scripts/mosaic queue` and commits `queue.json` with QUEUE.md through
+  `scripts/queue-commit.sh`. CURRENT.md is the narrative log; the queue wins
   if they disagree.
 
-States: `queued` (no brief yet) → `briefed` (brief written, not started) →
-`in progress` → `in review` → `Jason: <what he must do>` → `done`. `parked`
-means not before the rows above it and not without Jason's say. `required`
-means it cannot be parked or reordered below `queued` rows; only Jason moves it.
+States: `queued` (brief exists, not accepted) → `briefed` → `in-progress` →
+`in-review` → `waiting-on-jason` → `done`. `blocked` returns to the state it
+left. `parked` rows wait for Jason to reopen them. A `required` row can't be
+parked, and only Jason clears the flag. `after` names the rows a piece waits
+for.
