I was reading the process docs. A task can wait for one person or for everyone. What happens if an admin edits that process while a run is waiting on a task? Does the run keep the version it started with?
The Certainty view is a nice touch. Is that edge band estimated from the source pixels, or by tracing a few slightly different versions of the image? I'm curious how it behaves on JPEG halos around a logo.
Small bug I hit: Help -> 'Save and reload your work' opens /help/saving-your-work, which is a 404 right now. The save-state file is a useful bit for batch work, so that guide would be worth fixing.

The 'pure noise already scores around 80%' note caught my eye. What's the fitness formula? Maybe the graph could show improvement over that baseline too; 90% sounds much closer than it probably looks.

Curious what happens when the SVG has outlined text instead of text elements. Does it stay as a graphic, or can you recover editable labels from that too?
