Named work
Pools are identified by their registered job and owner—not by an unexplained wall of process IDs.

/cpu
Your local workers, made legible.
CPU Workers turns an opaque pool of local processes into named work, real counters, rate, ETA, provenance, and machine pressure—without pretending busy cores prove progress.
Release status
The public product preview is available. The source repository and installer are still in final release preparation, so there is no false download button here yet.

Registered counters shown separately from observed activity
Activity is evidence. It is not a verdict.
Honest progress
Worker-published counters, rates, ETAs, and receipts stay distinct from observed CPU activity.
Provenance
Owner-PID deduplication and source labels show which numbers are registered, observed, or unavailable.
Read-only boundary
The viewer inspects. It does not stop, restart, reprioritize, or claim authority over the processes it sees.
Why this exists
Local parallel work is powerful, but the default process list answers the wrong question. It shows what consumes resources, not what the work means.
/cpu joins OS-level observation with product-published receipts so you can tell the difference between a healthy pool, a high-churn loop, stale work, and genuine completion.
Next release gate
Public source, installer, docs, and reproducible checks—together.
Until that exact bundle exists, this page stays a preview and says so.
