Discussion: Could the "Status" field from the :status command be more useful?

When you run /conductor:status, you almost always see something like this:

✦ Project Status Overview

  Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2026
  Status: On Track

  ---

I've only ever seen the "Status:" be "On Track", which makes sense - I would assume something is off track if the rate of development isn't tracking towards a deadline, and there's currently no concept of deadlines/ETAs/Target Dates in Conductor.

It might be nice in :newTrack to ask if the user wants to put a target date. Then Conductor could extrapolate - based on the steps in the plan and the rate of development, is the track going to be completed on time? If the user doesn't set one, we could omit the Status field from the :status output, or consider other ways to make it more useful.

Another idea is to invert the relationship. Based on the progress so far, could Conductor guestimate when the track would finish? ex:

Status: In active development. 
Estimate: < 2 hours of work remaining

Start by reading the implementation of /conductor:status and :newTrack to understand how the current Status field and track setup work. Resolve whether target dates, progress-based estimates, or omission of the field is intended, then define completion around a concrete status behavior and its validation.
