[datapointchris]

prs draws a recaps tab only where its config names the commands behind it, so until this lands the tab never shows on any machine. This names the three commands in prs's config template: list prints each window recorded over the last 90 days as <kind> <label>, newest first, show prints one window's recap, and write dispatches one with a model call.

What to look at

1. configs/common/.config/prs/config.yml.tmpl, the recaps block. needs: [fleet, jq] keeps the tab off a machine the same template reaches without them, because the list runs through sh -c and hides both from prs.
2. The list script's set -o pipefail. Without it, fleet failing ahead of jq exits 0 with nothing printed, and the tab reads that as no recap written.

How it was verified

The template was rendered with REPOS_REGISTRY filled, and loaded by the prs binary built from datapointchris/prs#16:

$ XDG_CONFIG_HOME=<rendered> prs config show | tail -4
recaps    drawn
  list    sh -c 'set -o pipefail; fleet ledger recap --since 90d --json | jq -r '\''sort_by(.window.since) | reverse | .[].window | "\(.kind) \(.label)"'\'''
  show    fleet ledger recap --{kind} {label}
  write   fleet agents dispatch recap --{kind} {label}
$ XDG_CONFIG_HOME=<rendered> prs tui --view recaps --json | jq -c '[.windows[] | "\(.kind) \(.label)"]'
["day 2026-11-06","day 2026-11-05","day 2026-11-04","week 2026-W45","week 2026-W44"]

Without pipefail, the list run with fleet's daemon unconfigured printed fleet's error on stderr and exited 0. With it, the same run exited 1.

What changes

• prs tui gains a recaps tab on every machine with fleet and jq, after the next dotfiles apply.
• A machine missing either draws no tab, and nothing else changes there.

Risk and rollback

prs 0.15.0 and earlier refuse a config key they do not know, and this adds recaps:

$ XDG_CONFIG_HOME=<rendered> prs config show
Error: reading .../prs/config.yml: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 37: field recaps not found in type config.file

So this merges only once the prs release carrying datapointchris/prs#16 is installed. A revert removes the block, and the tab with it.
