Cockpit Matrix Panel

The Matrix panel is a cockpit view that lets pilots juxtapose two dimensions of Chronos data and inspect the intersections, like a Chronos-aware pivot table.

Goals

• Expose cross-cutting patterns without chaining multiple CLI commands.
• Enable repeatable dashboards (habit streak boards, template coverage grids).
• Stay extensible for new dimensions and metrics.

Panel Anatomy

• Config bar with row/column dimension selectors and metric control.
• Grid canvas with sticky headers and formatted metrics.
• Hover tooltips and click actions to drill into the Item Manager.

Dimensions (Examples)

• Item type, status requirement, item status, priority, project.
• Template, routine, weekday, date, habit, commitment.

Metrics

• Count, duration, points, list, completion rate, streak.
