Write-once timestamp markers stored on the card: material_paid_at, ordered_at, delivered_at, final_paid_at, review_requested_at. They record WHEN something first happened, and an explicit clear can take a badge back off.
Also called: ordered · delivered · material paid · final paid · review requested
- 1Badges merge into the card's state; an existing timestamp is never overwritten by a later re-save
- 2A null value explicitly clears the badge
- 3Badge-only stamps are possible without any stage move
- 4A stage move keeps only the badge cluster and snapshots the outgoing checklist onto the lifecycle row
Two ways to lose a fact. The 'ordered at' time was overwritten every time anyone saved anything on that stage, so the only record of when a material order actually went out silently became the last time somebody touched the stage. And a badge could not be taken back off, so a mis-click marking material delivered was permanent, and the card claimed lumber had arrived that nobody had seen. Badges keep their original timestamp and come off when the checkpoint behind them is unticked.
- Timestamps drifting to 'last touched'
- Permanent badges from a mis-click
