## Where this lives

Open a task, reveal the right panel, and use the Stage title to open its surface switcher.

The Stage presents the live surface relevant to the current work: plan, artifact, file, terminal, browser, source-control view, media, process, or recalled memory.

> **Safety:** A rendered preview is evidence, not always the source of truth. Verify persistent output in its actual destination.

## Steps

1. Open a task, reveal the right panel, and use the Stage title to open its surface switcher.
2. Open the plan checklist.
3. Follow active and completed steps.
4. Inspect blocked items.
5. Verify the final step against real output.
6. **Confirm the result.** Confirm the Stage result agrees with the transcript and the underlying file, process, browser page, or artifact.

## Choose the right path

- Follow a plan for multi-step work.
- Open an artifact for a polished output.
- Use supporting surfaces to inspect terminals, files, browser state, or memory.


## Confirm it worked

- Confirm the Stage result agrees with the transcript and the underlying file, process, browser page, or artifact.
