Comments and Activity Log
Each task detail page has two tabs:
- Comments — free-text discussion, rendered through the markdown subset. Posting requires
comments:create; viewing requirescomments:view. - Activity — an automatically-generated, system-written history of what happened to the task (stage changes, review-status changes, field edits, etc.), kept separate from human discussion so the two don't get mixed together.
Both comment and system entries share the same underlying task_activity table, distinguished by an entry_type column (comment vs. system-generated).
Editing comments
Users can edit their own comments after posting (comments:edit); admins can edit anyone's. Edit history is preserved rather than overwritten — so a comment's prior wording remains visible/auditable rather than silently disappearing when it's changed.
Export
Both comments and system activity entries for a task are included when exporting a project — see Export and Import.
