Bug Description

Kanban task detail drawer has poor readability

The task detail drawer (right panel when clicking a kanban card) has several UI issues that make it hard to follow agent work:

1. Drawer is too narrow

• The drawer occupies ~30-35% of screen width with no resize handle or drag-to-expand
• All content (metadata, description, context, Run History, comments) is crammed into this narrow panel
• No way to expand it horizontally or pop it out into a full view

2. Font size is too small for technical content

• Body text appears to be 12-14px — fine for card titles but too small for file paths, code snippets, and agent output
• File paths like /root/.hermes/profiles/zhongli/kanban/workspaces/T_54fb2b13 wrap badly at this width
• No monospace font used for technical/terminal content

3. Run History section is barely visible

• The tutorial shows a full Run History table with outcomes, summaries, metadata blobs, and error messages
• In the actual dashboard (v0.12.0), this section (if it exists) is squeezed into the same narrow drawer
• Agent tool call output (💻 $ ssh ..., 🔍 preparing session_search...) is rendered as plain text without formatting
• For running tasks there seems to be no live log/terminal viewer at all — you have to switch to the SESSIONS tab or use hermes kanban log <task_id> CLI

4. Black text is unreadable on all theme backgrounds

• There are UI elements rendering text in black or very dark color that becomes invisible against dark theme backgrounds
• This affects multiple theme colors — not just one specific theme
• The text is present (you can select it) but visually invisible unless you highlight it

Expected Behavior

• Task drawer should be readable without squinting
• Technical content (paths, code, terminal output) should use monospace font at readable size
• Run History and agent output should be clearly visible with proper formatting
• All text should be legible regardless of active theme
• A resize handle or "expand to fullscreen" option would help

Actual Behavior

• Drawer is a fixed-width skinny sidebar
• Small sans-serif font makes dense technical content hard to parse
• Agent output/logs are either not shown in the drawer or rendered as unformatted plain text
• Black text elements are invisible on dark backgrounds

Environment

• Hermes Agent: v0.12.0 (The Curator Release)
• Dashboard accessed via Tailscale: 100.105.213.80:9121 (Zhongli profile)
• Browser: Chromium-based
• OS: CachyOS Linux (KDE Plasma 6, Wayland)
• Multi-profile setup: Furina (root), Zhongli, Raiden, Nahida
• Kanban board actively in use with cross-profile task delegation

Suggestion

Consider:

• Adding a draggable resize handle to the drawer edge
• Using monospace + slightly larger font for the Run History / agent log area
• Making the Run History section collapsible but default-open with proper table layout
• Adding a "View full session" link from the drawer to the SESSIONS tab for the worker's conversation
• Auditing all text colors for contrast against every bundled theme background
