+Group chats: every Bot at work shows as one row of the same shape in one place above the message box, the current speaker included, instead of one row on the left and another further right. Each row says what the Bot is doing and on what (for example `Running shell commands: npm test`), names a tool it has no phrase for instead of "On it", and keeps its elapsed time ([#546](https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/issues/546)).

 - The composer `@` in a face-to-face room (`mentionRows` / `atSources` in `at-menu.js`) offers the room's own Bots, each once (a repeated remote seat is folded by handle; Bots that left are out), labelled as the Members panel names them (`Chief (SelfA)`, `Chief (SelfB)`), plus **Everyone** with the room's Bot count (`2 Bots`, #457). Published friends' Bots (`remoteMentionRows`) and plugin rows (the social `Friends' Bots` section) are not offered there, since only the Bots in the room can be reached in it. Only the label changes: the inserted text is still the `@Name` the room routes on (`@SelfA's Chief`), never a handle (#305).
 - A face room's `@` menu shows no DSH Sessions rows (#305, owner decision 2026-10-19: filter in FlyBot for now; #422 asks DSH for an API). DSH's built-in `reference` source cannot be dropped for one Session, so `HeaderPill` (`header.js`) starts `actions.filterFaceAtMenu` for a face room, which watches that Session's trigger controller (`inputTriggers.sessionOf`, the same one the composer uses) with `watchFaceMenu` (`face-at-filter.js`): a `<style data-bt-face-at>` hides the `reference` rows whose icon is `session` (Sessions and Subagents) and their section title by MenuView's option ids, `controller.hover` moves the highlight past them in the direction of the key (so arrow keys skip them and Enter never picks one), and a menu with nothing else left is `dismiss()`ed, so Enter sends. File rows stay. Elsewhere, **Everyone**'s count is the Bots it reaches (local members and seated friends' Bots), `1 member` / `2 members`.
 
+### Group member dock (#546)
+
+Every Bot at work in a group shows in one place, the member dock above the composer (`member-status.js` `MemberDock`), never as a second row in the transcript: `GroupReplies` (`cells.js`) draws only the round's lines, and `splitBusy` puts the round's current speaker first among the rows. Each row (`WorkRow`) is the Bot's mark, `Name · <phrase>: <step>` (`workText`; without a step `<phrase>…`) and the elapsed time from one minute on; the summary line for approvals and work elsewhere (`SummaryLine`) is a row of the same shape and column, with the first worker's time, not a centered `.bt-event`. The step is `work.bots[id].step` from the host, used for a group row only when that view is about the same group and tool (`stepIn`). A tool with no phrase reads `Using <tool>` (`workPhrase`), never only "On it". Rows come from the polled `work` view, so they leave with the turn. Tests: `core/test/member-status.test.js`.
+
 ### Test connection (#409)
 
 - Bot settings → **Model** has a **Test connection** row under the model picker (`ModelTestRow` in `model-test.js`, shown once the Bot has a chosen model). Its hint says the request may be billed. A click posts `test-model` (`{ id }`) once; the button is disabled while it runs (**Testing…**), then the row shows `Works. {model} answered in {seconds} s.` or a short reason per host code (`testOutcome`: NO_MODEL, NO_KEY, AUTH, QUOTA, RATE_LIMIT, TIMEOUT, NOT_SERVED, MODEL_NOT_FOUND, TRANSPORT, SERVER, INVALID_REQUEST, else UNKNOWN) with the code beside it. The host never sends provider text, so nothing a provider echoes (a key, a token) can be drawn. Picking another model clears the result. Tests: `core/test/model-test.test.js`.

+### Work view step (#546)
+
+`work.bots[id]` (`turns.js` `workView`) carries `step`: what the newest running call acts on, from its arguments (`command`, `cmd`, `pattern`, `query`, `url`, `file_path`, `path`, else `description`), whitespace collapsed and capped at 80 characters. It is in the owner-only Bot view (`authz.js` `ownedLive` picks the actor's own Bots), not in `work.rooms`, which other members of a shared group read. It goes with the call's result and the turn's end. Covered by `core/test/group-status.test.js`.
+
 ### Inbound shared rooms
 
 - Bot Social conversations are 1:1; it does not list a FlyBot group. When a room gains a granted remote Bot (create-room, addParticipants, or 新建群聊 picking a friend's chat), the host fans out a `FLYBOT-ROOM-SHARE` envelope (`src/shared/room-share.js`) through `flybotSend` (`via: 'room-share'` for join/leave, `via: 'room'` for lines, `meta.roomId` set) so the Bot's owner's FlyBot can project it immediately — including a room with no chat lines yet. Receive is `rt.applyInboundRoomShare` (`origin: 'inbound-share'`, `recordInboundSharedRoom`), labelled **Shared room from \<inviter\>** with the room name stored. A leave envelope, hide, or grant revoke marks it left/hidden. `reach()` allows a local member to message a remote that already sits in that room when `roomId` is on the send. Still not team mode.
