Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the Watcher tab and comparing it with the front page UI. Identify where job status is rendered, then make the file being read and a speed indicator visible for each process. Done means the Watcher view communicates the same relevant progress context as the front page and makes crashes easier to identify.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When viewing jobs performed under the "Watcher" tab, the file being read by the process should be displayed, to indicate whether or not the process crashes alongside a speed indicator.
Currently, the UI is too ambiguous, which makes it inconsistent with the front page UI.
