AI coding assistant taskbar widgets

This cluster covers Windows taskbar widgets that surface AI coding assistant conversations with live status indicators and quick jump-to-chat functionality. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from—only 0 dated entries exist. Traction leaders are agentbar, islebar, and dsh-desktop-notify, each with 1 star activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
