refactor: use hiring_intent_action table for Orbit Signal actions

- Replace action_status field with hiring_intent_action relationship
- Add HiringIntentAction type for action records
- Implement createHiringIntentAction() to create action records
- Update getHiringIntentsBySpace() to fetch related actions
- Modify filtering logic to check actions array (completed/skipped)
- Change button labels: "Ignore" → "Skip" for clarity
- Update documentation to reflect database schema usage

Database: Uses existing hiring_intent_action table with status enum
Status mapping: completed (Add to Actions), skipped (Skip), null (Pending)

 ### Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETED (2025-12-22)
 
 ### Features Implemented
-- ✅ Action status tracking (`pending`, `added_to_actions`, `ignored`)
-- ✅ "Add to Actions" and "Ignore" buttons on each signal card
-- ✅ Dedicated "Actions" section displaying signals marked for action
-- ✅ Automatic removal of ignored signals from UI
-- ✅ Real-time state updates when action status changes
+- ✅ Action tracking using `hiring_intent_action` table
+- ✅ "Add to Actions" and "Skip" buttons on each signal card
+- ✅ Dedicated "Actions" section displaying signals with completed status
+- ✅ Automatic removal of skipped signals from UI
+- ✅ Real-time state updates when actions are created
 - ✅ Count badges for both Actions and Orbit Signals sections
 - ✅ Visual distinction between pending and actioned signals
+- ✅ Proper relationship loading (hiring_intent with actions)
 
 ### Frontend Changes
-- **Type Updates**: `src/lib/utils.ts:1486`
-  - Added `action_status?: 'pending' | 'added_to_actions' | 'ignored'` to `HiringIntent` type
+- **Type Updates**: `src/lib/utils.ts:1472-1497`
+  - Added `HiringIntentAction` type for action records
+  - Updated `HiringIntent` type to include `actions?: HiringIntentAction[]` array
 
-- **API Functions**: `src/lib/utils.ts:1540-1586`
-  - Added `updateHiringIntentActionStatus()` for updating signal status
-  - Updated `getHiringIntentsBySpace()` to fetch `action_status` field
+- **API Functions**: `src/lib/utils.ts:1549-1603`
+  - Added `createHiringIntentAction()` to create action records in hiring_intent_action table
+  - Updated `getHiringIntentsBySpace()` to fetch related actions using Directus field expansion
 
 - **Component Updates**: `src/components/interactive/HiringIntentDashboard.tsx`
-  - Added action buttons (Add to Actions, Ignore) with icons
-  - Implemented filtering logic for pending vs actioned signals
+  - Added action buttons (Add to Actions, Skip) with icons
+  - Implemented `hasActionStatus()` helper to check action array
+  - Filtering logic checks actions array for completed/skipped status
   - Created separate sections: "Actions" and "Orbit Signals"
-  - Added real-time state management for action updates
-  - Implemented conditional rendering based on action status
+  - Real-time state management adds new action records to intents
+  - Conditional rendering based on action existence
 
-### Database Schema Required ⚠️
+### Database Schema Used ✅
 
-**CRITICAL**: Add `action_status` field to `hiring_intent` collection in Directus
+**Using Existing `hiring_intent_action` Table**
 
-```sql
--- Add action_status field to hiring_intent table
-ALTER TABLE hiring_intent
-  ADD COLUMN action_status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending'
-  CHECK (action_status IN ('pending', 'added_to_actions', 'ignored'));
+The implementation uses the existing `hiring_intent_action` collection to track user actions on signals.
 
--- Create index for faster filtering
-CREATE INDEX idx_hiring_intent_action_status
-  ON hiring_intent(action_status);
+**Schema Structure**:
+```
+hiring_intent_action:
+  - id: integer (PK)
+  - intent: integer (FK → hiring_intent)
+  - category: string (e.g., 'user_action')
+  - status: enum ('pending', 'completed', 'skipped')
+  - user_created: uuid (FK → users)
+  - date_created: timestamp
+  - user_updated: uuid (FK → users)
+  - date_updated: timestamp
 ```
 
-**Directus Configuration**:
-- [ ] Add `action_status` field to `hiring_intent` collection
-  - Type: `string` or `dropdown`
-  - Default: `pending`
-  - Options: `pending`, `added_to_actions`, `ignored`
-  - Interface: Dropdown or Radio Buttons
-  - Required: NO (defaults to 'pending')
+**Status Mapping**:
+- `completed` = Signal marked as "Add to Actions"
+- `skipped` = Signal marked as "Skip"
+- No action = Pending signal (no action record)
 
 ### UI Design

 ### Testing Checklist
-- [ ] Verify database field `action_status` exists in `hiring_intent`
-- [ ] Test "Add to Actions" button functionality
-- [ ] Test "Ignore" button functionality
-- [ ] Verify ignored signals disappear from UI
+- [x] Verify `hiring_intent_action` table exists in Directus
+- [ ] Test "Add to Actions" button creates action with status='completed'
+- [ ] Test "Skip" button creates action with status='skipped'
+- [ ] Verify skipped signals disappear from UI
 - [ ] Verify actioned signals appear in Actions section
 - [ ] Test with multiple spaces
 - [ ] Test with space filter (All vs specific space)
 - [ ] Verify count badges update correctly
 - [ ] Test on mobile responsive layout
+- [ ] Verify actions array is properly fetched with hiring_intents
 
 ### Future Enhancements (Optional)
-- [ ] Add "Undo" functionality for ignored signals
+- [ ] Add "Undo" functionality to remove action records
 - [ ] Add bulk actions (select multiple signals)
 - [ ] Add export functionality for actioned signals
-- [ ] Add filtering by action status
-- [ ] Add notes/comments on actioned signals
+- [ ] Add filtering/tabs by action status (All, Pending, Actions, Skipped)
+- [ ] Add notes field to `hiring_intent_action` for user comments
 - [ ] Add notification when new signals arrive
 - [ ] Add CRM integration for actioned signals
+- [ ] Show action history (who acted when) with user_created info
+- [ ] Add action analytics dashboard
 
 ### Files Modified
-- `src/lib/utils.ts` - Type and API updates
-- `src/components/interactive/HiringIntentDashboard.tsx` - UI and logic implementation
+- `src/lib/utils.ts` - Type updates, added `createHiringIntentAction()`, updated fetch query
+- `src/components/interactive/HiringIntentDashboard.tsx` - UI and logic implementation with action array handling
+- `TODO.md` - Updated documentation to reflect `hiring_intent_action` table usage
 
 ### Dependencies
 - Lucide React icons: `CheckCircle2`, `XCircle` (already imported)
 - Button component from ShadCN (already available)
 - Badge component from ShadCN (already available)
+- Directus `hiring_intent_action` collection (already exists)
