Research direction

Start in Sources/LocalVoice/WorkbenchHome.swift around lines 425–427 and trace how the recent-work row handles Open result and Copy instructions. Show their failure beside the row, and clear the error when the row changes. Done when failures started from Home are visible there and no longer remain after the row changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

On main (9578d8c), Home's recent-work row offers Open result (Sources/LocalVoice/WorkbenchHome.swift:425) and Copy instructions (:427). Both report failure only through handoffJobs.error and notice, which only the History page displays. A failure started from Home shows nothing on Home: a dead end under the Grammar's rule 6.

Fix (Quality, no new entry): show the error where the action was taken, beside the recent-work row, and clear it when the row changes. Found while integration-testing #144 with #142.
