Plans, phases, tasks

Plans hold phases, and phases hold tasks. Tasks can depend on each other: `previewTaskDependencyCascade` shows how a date change ripples through before `applyTaskDependencyCascade` makes it, and items flagged for review can be accepted or dismissed by a person or another agent.
