This seems pretty cumbersome. You have to type:
arc track --start --task T123
Is there a reason you went with that instead of:
arc start T123
...as in D7326?
Generally, I think the examples in D7326 (arc start, arc stop) are a lot easier to use than this. You can implement them like this:
- Accept a wildcard argument, which matches the T123 part.
- Throw if there are zero args, or more than one arg ("specify exactly one object to start work on").
- Use the phid.lookup method to look up the object the user names. This will convert a string like T123 into an object PHID.
- Call phrequent.start on the PHID.
The --task stuff is both cumbersome and not general. Phrequent supports tracking any object type, including types introduced by third-party applications. If you use phid.lookup, all of this works for free. If you don't, you'll have to implement --paste, --revision, --commit, --mock, etc., for every object type, and third-party applications won't be accessible from the CLI.

Looks like this is this parallel work to D7326, right? Should one of these be finished?

The author of these changes is a third-party contributor, so presumably he just hasn't found the time to finish them.
We'll build support for these things in the upstream eventually even if he never picks these back up, but Phrequent is a very low priority right now.

|---|---|---|
| 93–94 | Because the current timestamp is the same as the time that just ended, it can't distinguish between a user time that's currently running (where end time == now) and a user time that's been ended at the current time (where end time == now as well). We should probably fix this inside Phrequent at some point, but all of the strata and time block calculations stuff is complex and I don't want to break it. | |

What do you think about arc time instead of arc tracking? Offhand, it's a little shorter and seems a little more closely related...
Couple of minor inlines. This mostly looks good.

| 56–57 | This permits arc start T1 T2 but ignores T2. This also permits arc start --object T1 T2 but ignores T1. | |

| 75–85 | These calls could use futures, although probably not worth bothering. | |
| 93–94 | Sleeping seems pretty bad. We should find another way to get around this for now so users arent' stuck watiing. | |

| 6–8 ↗ | (On Diff #23798) | It would be slightly nicer to make this abstract and extend all three (start, stop, tracking) from it. This workflow isn't inherently any more core. |
| 89–99 ↗ | (On Diff #23798) | Can we just fake this instead of doing the sleeps? |
| 101–107 ↗ | (On Diff #23798) | Use PhutilConsoleTable |

| 64 | Given the way the API currently works, this will never print 'Stopped' and always print 'in progress' on the first item. Maybe just a "*" or something to reinforce that the top item is the active one? This is easy to tweak later. | |
