Comments, history and watching

At the bottom of every task sit two tabs: Comments and History.

The comment thread

Markdown, with @mentions that notify the person named. ⌘ + Enter posts. Anyone can react to a comment with an emoji, which is usually enough to close a question without adding another comment.

Comments are text only — they take no file uploads. Screenshots and files belong in the task’s description, which accepts a pasted or dropped file directly. See Creating and editing tasks.

Comments are also where automation reports in. A worker running a task posts its progress here — which gate rejected a diff, which pull request it opened — so the task’s comment thread doubles as the run log.

Every change to the task, oldest first: who created it, each status transition with its before and after, field edits, and comment activity. Nothing here is editable; it is the audit trail for the task.

Watch on a task adds you to its watchers. Watchers are notified about status changes, new comments and mentions. Assigning someone adds them automatically.
