I'll adjust TaskPalette so the amber change-highlight keeps the white task text legible on black.

`swift build` is clean. Editing TasksView.swift, then I'll run the suite.

Running scripts/test.sh now to confirm the full suite passes…

Tasks
Decode hook events into the session reducer
Render Activity window tool rows with status icons
Group tool calls under subagent sections
White-on-black Tasks window with checkbox status
Persist per-window layout + always-on-top
Keep running Claude Code in your own terminal — AltWindow never patches or replaces it.
Activity — one row per tool call: live status, summaries, expandable diffs, and subagent groups.
The Responses window mirrors Claude's replies as they stream.
Every pane is a first-class macOS window — move across monitors, resize, pin on top, dim, split or combine.
Tasks: white-on-black so it's never mistaken for Activity — new or changed items glow ~30s.
The menu-bar icon shows the live session count — open it to switch sessions, split or combine windows, or install the hooks.
