Description

Currently, supervising running programs takes place through the REPL, via SLIME, on the terminal, and through Slack; in the past, there was also a rudimentary IRC interface. Scrolling through the log turds in Slack is quite clumsy, and the terminal output from the KrakenFX cohort is so noisy as to be almost unusable.

Relevant Slack documentation links:

Relevant Issues:

  1. configurability - #17
  2. terminal output - #14
  3. infrastructure - #13

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current supervision methods: REPL, SLIME, terminal output, and Slack integration. Identify the main usability issues and propose improvements. Review Slack webhooks documentation for better message formatting. Check related issues #17, #14, and #13 for context and dependencies.
