# The Bridge

The Bridge is ScaiCrew's single mission-control view. It has two areas.

## Build (authoring)

- **Author with AI** starts a conversational session for a crew. Each turn re-derives the whole
  crew-member draft from the conversation.
- The **member builder** is a split view: the authoring chat on one side, the live draft on the
  other (objective, the rigidity four-stop control with a plain-language approval posture, tools with
  effect-class badges, rules).
- **Publish** and **Dry-run** act on the draft directly.

## Bridge (operations)

| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| **Crews** | The crews dashboard and their members |
| **Activity** | A live run feed (updates over SSE) |
| **Run detail** | The step-by-step timeline of one run (live) |
| **Approvals** | The pending-approval queue |
| **Cost** | Per-member run counts and cost units |
| **Schedules** | Schedule triggers with their next run time |
| **Templates** | The ScaiExchange gallery and an install wizard |

## Live updates

Activity and Run-detail update **live**. The dispatcher publishes a per-workspace `run.changed`
signal after each commit; the Bridge consumes a long-lived `GET /v1/stream` (Server-Sent Events) and
refetches the affected views on receipt.
