Two things changed in those rows:\n\n- A row carrying an event from a monitor now shows as a short headline and description, cut to fit your terminal width, with the full text shown when you expand it.\n\n- A finished task's row now adds \"sent a message (ctrl+o)\" or \"sent N messages (ctrl+o)\".\n\n**Why**\n\nMonitor output takes up less room in the conversation, and you can see at a glance that a task sent messages and press ctrl+o to see them.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
