gvDecisions on Flow Timeline - Design Analysis
Analysis of adding gvDecisions as a third timeline entry type
Output
gvDecisions on Flow Timeline
Yes! Decisions are a natural fit for the timeline.
Current Timeline Entries
| kontask | Work output + deliverables | Primary timeline item |
| system_event | Server restarts, account switches | Grey markers |
Proposed: Add "decision" Entry Type
interface TimelineEntry { type: "kontask" | "system_event" | "decision"; // NEW id: string; timestamp: string; // Decision-specific fields category?: "design" | "action" | "deferred"; decisionType?: string; // e.g., "design:architecture" chosen?: { value: string, label?: string }; confidence?: "certain" | "high" | "medium" | "low"; impactLevel?: "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical"; }
Visual Treatment
| kontask | Blue cards | Full-width, expandable |
| system_event | Grey pills | Compact, inline |
| decision | Purple chips | Medium size, decision focus |

Benefits
- ✓ Decision audit trail - See when choices were made
