Feature summary

On the Internet Archive Bot’s “View Job” page, no job data is displayed by default when the page is loaded. Users must manually enter a job ID to see any output. I would like the page to automatically populate with the most recent completed job, so users can immediately view recent activity without guessing or looking up job IDs elsewhere.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

Here is how I encountered the issue:

• I navigated to the IA Bot’s “View Job” interface: https://iabot.wmcloud.org/index.php?page=viewjob
• Upon landing on the page, no job is selected and no information is shown.
• I had to manually find and input a known job ID (e.g., ID 24688) to see any output.
• This process has to be repeated every time, even though in most cases users are interested in viewing the latest job the bot has completed, if they don't want to look up their own job

The underlying problem is that the interface does not assist users in understanding what the bot has done recently, nor does it offer a usable default. Without entering an exact job ID, the page isn't very helpful.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

• Immediate Context: Users can see the output of the latest job right away, without needing to guess the job id manually.

• Faster Debugging and Validation: Makes it easier to track bot behavior and verify whether it has recently run successfully.

• Streamlined Workflow: Reduces friction for both regular users and developers monitoring job results.

• Improved Accessibility for New Users: Makes it more obvious what the page is for and how it works, even for users unfamiliar with job IDs.
