The [Sessions] Pipeline screen is confusing:

I know this screen only refers to one authbridge-proxy, but I don't understand what the IDs refer to. I first thought it was Authbridge-Proxy IDs. Then I suspected Claude harnesses.

Although the column is titled ID it would be better if it indicated what kind of ID it was.

The ID is also very long. It is a globally unique UUID. It might be better as six hex digits, or even a randomly generated two-word name.

It would be good to include COST, if it can be calculated, in addition to TOKENS.

I don't understand what ACTIVE means. One of these Sessions/Pipelines is only 26 seconds old, but it is not active.

Operating system and architecture

Darwin arm64

Agent and model

Claude code, sonnet I guess

Cortex version

dev

Service status and logs

Did anything else on your machine change?

• git, gh, ssh or curl stopped working after I installed Cortex

Start from the [Sessions] Pipeline screen shown in the report and determine what the ID and ACTIVE columns represent. Review the requested shorter identifier, clearer labeling, and optional COST value as one coherent UI change; done means the screen's session information is unambiguous and the requested display improvements are addressed.
