Conversation
The agent panel showed "Idle" whenever no action was executing — which also covers bots that are chatting, deciding their next move, or whose self-prompter has stopped. getFullState() now derives a real status from the conversation manager and self-prompter state, exposed as action.kind, and the dashboard color-codes it. States: Acting (action label) / Chatting with <name> / Thinking / Stopped (self-prompter off, won't act on its own) / Idle.

What
The dashboard's per-agent panel showed Idle whenever no action was executing. But an agent counts as idle (
!actions.executing) even while it's chatting, deciding its next move, or has its self-prompter stopped — so very different states all looked identical.This derives a real status in
getFullState()and color-codes it in the dashboard.States
<action label>Chatting with <name>ThinkingStoppedIdleWhy "Stopped" matters
A stopped self-prompter is a state an agent can't leave on its own (e.g. after
!stfu/!endGoal). It previously looked identical to a momentary "Idle", making a silently-dormant agent hard to spot. Surfacing it in red makes that obvious at a glance.Changes
src/agent/library/full_state.js— computeaction.current+ newaction.kindfrom conversation / self-prompter state.src/mindcraft/public/index.html— color the status line byaction.kind.Backward compatible:
action.current/action.isIdlekeep their meaning;action.kindis additive and the UI falls back gracefully when it's absent.
