Labor Hub Activity Monitor Types

[cemreinanc]

let's divide into news/advancements (shows up on timeline with newspaper icon) and interesting studies/opinion pieces/etc that people can dig into (not on timeline, maybe lightbulb icon). <@U0A3AV24BEU> I can send you a list of the current ones and how I'd designate them if you'd like, but it's probably intuitive if you just want to divide them.

Labor Hub Activity Monitor Types

• Explore the labor hub activity monitor code
• Understand the current data model and types
• Update ActivityType to introduce "insight" (replacing "comment")
• Add faLightbulb icon mapping in activity_card.tsx and the timeline-marker overlay
• Filter out "insight" entries from timeline markers in activity_monitor.tsx
• Recategorize entries in activity_data.tsx
• Commit changes

Summary of changes

Split the activity monitor into two types, per the Slack thread:

Type	Icon	On timeline?	Used for
news	newspaper	✅ yes	News / advancements
insight	lightbulb	❌ no	Studies, reports, opinion pieces, forecaster quotes

Files changed

• front_end/src/components/charts/primitives/timeline_markers/types.ts — ActivityType is now "news" \| "insight".
• front_end/src/components/charts/primitives/timeline_markers/group_timeline_markers_overlay.tsx — Icon map updated (faComment → faLightbulb).
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/components/activity_card.tsx — Icon map updated to match.
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/sections/activity_monitor.tsx — Timeline markers now filter to type === "news" so only advancements drop a marker on the chart.
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/activity_data.tsx — Recategorized entries:
  • news (newspaper, on timeline): Claude Mythos system card, Meta/Microsoft layoffs, California Governor executive order, Claude Opus 4.8 release
  • insight (lightbulb, off timeline): Nathan Metzger & Adonis forecaster quotes, Anthropic Economic Index Report, Epoch AI survey, Budget Lab at Yale study, Indeed Hiring Lab report, Pope Leo XIV encyclical

I made my best judgment on the recategorization since the issue noted the split would be intuitive. Feel free to send your designated list and I can adjust any entries you'd categorize differently.

keep the comment type too with its own icon, leave that out of timeline too. @claude

Labor Hub Activity Monitor Types — keep comment type

• Read current state of changed files
• Add "comment" back to ActivityType (alongside "news" and "insight")
• Restore faComment icon mapping in activity_card.tsx and the timeline-marker overlay
• Ensure timeline filter only shows "news" (so both "insight" and "comment" stay off the timeline)
• Commit changes

Summary

ActivityType now has three variants — "news" | "insight" | "comment":

Type	Icon	On timeline?	Used for
news	newspaper	✅ yes	News / advancements
insight	lightbulb	❌ no	Studies, reports, opinion pieces
comment	speech bubble	❌ no	Forecaster quotes

Files changed

• front_end/src/components/charts/primitives/timeline_markers/types.ts — added "insight" to the union.
• front_end/src/components/charts/primitives/timeline_markers/group_timeline_markers_overlay.tsx — icon map now maps all three types (faNewspaper, faLightbulb, faComment).
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/components/activity_card.tsx — same three-way icon map for the card view.
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/sections/activity_monitor.tsx — timelineMarkers filters to type === "news", so insights and comments stay off the chart timeline.
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/activity_data.tsx — recategorized:
  • news (newspaper, on timeline): Claude Mythos system card, Meta/Microsoft layoffs, California Governor executive order, Claude Opus 4.8 release
  • insight (lightbulb, off timeline): Anthropic Economic Index Report, Epoch AI survey, Budget Lab at Yale study, Indeed Hiring Lab report, Pope Leo XIV encyclical
  • comment (speech bubble, off timeline): Nathan Metzger and Adonis forecaster quotes (unchanged from before)
