Hand the FogBugz cases to a companion
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the FogBugz cases, does the 3-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the case. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the FogBugz afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a case until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what FogBugz exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 1 read and 2 writes. In practice that means it can update a person and create a case, and work across the cases, persons and projects.
The FogBugz API stops at FogBugz. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it list projects on its own?
1 of the 3 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list projects, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from FogBugz's documentation.
The cases are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the persons. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of FogBugz admin becomes a queue you review.
- List Projects
What happens before it can update person?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a person and create a case, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the case, the field and the new value before it lands in FogBugz.
Nothing in FogBugz is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the case exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Update Person
- Create Case
Can it update person on a schedule?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the FogBugz cases pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the FogBugz cases sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
