We have a faff pipeline, which comprises:
5-
- a source of work
6-
- the private log
7-
- a compiler to translate that log into a timesheet suitable for the target audience
8-
- a identity with which that timesheet can be signed
9-
- a faff recipient to receive the signed timesheet

We have a bridged pipeline, which comprises:
12-
- a source of work
13-
- the private log
14-
- a compiler to translate that log into a timesheet suitable for the target audience
15-
- a bridge to the legacy system

In perhaps both cases we might want to track the state of the timesheet. We would want to know when it had been successfully sent.

Notes:
73-
74-
I think the template idea has legs.
75-
76-
A record has:
77-
- an intent
78-
- qualitative data
79-
80-
An intent, fully expressed, has:
81-
- a role
82-
- an activity
83-
- a goal
84-
- a beneficiary
85-
86-
In truth, a role can have _one or more_ roles, goals, or beneficiaries. But that feels like it's going too far - you should jus tpick the main one.
87-
88-
A template might have a role, a goal, an activity, but an empty beneficiary - something like a "1:1" template would be the same RAG but switch in a different B.
89-
90-
A template might have a role, a goal, and a beneficiary but an empty activity - something like "Adfinis Machine" template woudl always have the same RGB but you'd switch in a A.
91-
92-
Mapping to a tracker is a different matter. It's _really_ the job of the compiler, but a next-to-impossible one without a hint.
93-
94-
For templates, you'd want to be able to pick a template then sub in the variable, but the variable should also be pre-populated and if pre-existing should re-use an historic tracker association.

? What are you doing?
108-
109-
1. Type an _activity_.
110-
At the very least, you want to record that you are working on an activity. If you have used
111-
an activity before, we should suggest matches here.
112-
Examples of activities include:
113-
- reading email
114-
- writing a document
115-
- reviewing a proposal
116-
- strategic thinking
117-
- a URL to a Jira task, or the name of task
118-
- working on project X, or sub-project X.1
119-
2. Type an _intent_.
120-
An intent is richer than an activity. It represents everything you _should_ be tracking when
121-
you track time (role, activity, goal, beneficiary), and everything you need to map it to legacy
122-
time-tracking systems.
123-
3. Our goal is to record intents, but folks won't always have the time or energy to do this inline.

It seems obvious at this second that I would achieve all of this by:
127-
128-
- answering the question "what are you doing?"
129-
- hmm, the epiphany evaporated
130-
- it was going to be something like "and if you're reusing an old intent with a new activity or beneficiary, then you can turn it into a template then", but you'd probably need to rename it, too
131-
- maybe, if you've got a _nearly_ right intent, something like "preparing for NSDR", you could:
132-
- choose it
133-
- see the associated intent
134-
- say "yes, no, or tweak"
135-
- if you tweak, you can tweak either the activity or the beneficiary
136-
- in doing so, you create a template
137-
- then in future, if you choose a _template_ rather than a straight intent, you'll be:
138-
- given the list of all the values you've previously put into the template as quick options
139-
- press Esc to see all options or add a new one
140-
- you shouldn't be able to add a new one directly from the shortlist, because you might roll a brand new beneficiary
141-
when there's already a suitable entity
142-
143-
Separate problem - I'm making entities like "element/juhol" but those are _not_ coming from Element - they're local. So should they be
144-
local/element/juhol?

New question - how do we store trackers?
190-
I'm trying to cut down on their complexity now - they're just an identifier and a name.
