   A background job that produces no output is indistinguishable from a dead one.
 - **The claim goes before the spawn, not inside the action.** If the action claims its own work, an action
   that dies before claiming has claimed nothing and will run again.
+- **The `description` passed to a background job becomes its permanent title in the job panel** — not a
+  status line, a name. Two things follow. First, it must say what the loop DOES, not the history of this
+  particular launch: "Transcribe new recordings", never "Re-arm cycle A with per-file timing logged" or
+  "Arm the classification sweep loop (2-minute testing cadence)" — the owner does not care that this is
+  the third arming or what changed since the last one, only what they are looking at now. Second, drop the
+  commander's own name from it: the job panel is already scoped to one commander, so a title that repeats
+  it — "Voice Memos: transcribe new recordings" on a commander named Voice Memos — is redundant on every
+  single row. Name the loop, not the commander it belongs to.
