+# 05. Fix sequential mode batch labels
+
+meta:
+  id: ralph-loop-fixes-05
+  feature: ralph-loop-fixes
+  priority: P2
+  depends_on: [ralph-loop-fixes-04]
+  tags: [implementation, ui]
+
+objective:
+- Suppress "Batch N:" label for single-task batches; use numbered list format (1., 2., 3.) for sequential task execution to match original behavior
+
+deliverables:
+- Modified `src/executor.ts` — `executeBatch()` console output
+
+steps:
+- Open `src/executor.ts` and locate `executeBatch()`
+- In the batch header log, check if `tasks.length === 1`
+- If single task: log `[ralph] Running task ${task.id}: ${task.title}` (no "Batch N" wrapper)
+- If multiple tasks: keep existing `=== Batch N (M tasks) ===` format
+- Track global task counter for sequential numbered output if needed
+
+tests:
+- Manual: Run a single-task batch — verify no "Batch N" in output
+- Manual: Run a multi-task batch — verify "Batch N" still appears
+
+acceptance_criteria:
+- Single-task batches do not show "Batch N:" prefix
+- Multi-task batches still show batch header
+- Output format matches original: `[ralph] Running task 001: Title`
+
+validation:
+- Check `console.log` output in executeBatch for conditional formatting
+- Verify single-task path uses task-focused label
+
+notes:
+- Original behavior: single tasks show numbered list (1., 2., 3.), batches show "Batch N:"
+- Current code always shows `[ralph] === Batch N (M tasks) ===` regardless of batch size
+- This is cosmetic but matches user preference for compact UI
