Announce a show

Steps

1. 1 None Offstage: provisioning an event to sell (the instance had none on sale) 0:00
2. 2 Administrator Open the announcements form 0:07 ▣

   This field used to want a hand-typed /events/… URL. Nobody memorises URLs, which is exactly why plan 77 built a picker for people.

3. 3 Administrator Type “Announce 741ee8” in the event search 0:09 ▣

   It matches on NAME or VENUE — the search_users shape, applied to events — and each row shows the show the standard way: name, date, venue, status. Never a bare id.

4. 4 Administrator Pick it 0:11 ▣

   The selection becomes a hidden input carrying the event id, so the stored shape is unchanged — the picker fills the same link_href.

5. 5 Administrator Post it 0:13 ▣

   The window came from plan 97's quick buttons on the same form — this whole announcement was made without typing a URL or a timestamp.

6. 6 Member A member sees it 0:21 ▣

   The end of the chain the whole feature exists for — and the banner goes straight to the show, because the link was chosen from the database rather than typed from memory.
