01 · The problem
The 👍 that wasn't a task.
A thumbs-up is the entire record. No owner field, no due date, no ticket — just a reply that forty messages will bury before you've finished your coffee. Come Friday, "did the deck go out?" means re-finding the thread before you can even ask. The tasks are real; the tracking is a scroll-back.

From thread to tracked task.
Set where the asking happens and what a "done" gets checked against. Every step rewrites itself to match — she chases the owner rather than the channel, and remembers what she already tried, so silence leads to a different move rather than the same nudge again.
