The problem
Overdue activities pile up after a busy week
Overdue Pipedrive activities pile up after a busy week or a holiday, and moving them one by one is tedious. Shifting them all to tomorrow just creates a new pile, and moving a meeting without warning affects the other people invited.
Without PopdockAI
- Open each overdue activity
- Pick a new date one at a time
- Move everything to tomorrow and start again
- Shift a meeting others were invited to
With PopdockAI
- Overdue open activities are read for the user
- New dates are spread across five business days, most overdue first
- Meetings are left out and very old items marked to cancel
- Only due dates change after you confirm, then it re-reads

**Objective:** Reschedule the open activities assigned to `{user-name}` that are overdue by up to `{lookback-days}` days (default 30), moving them to `{new-date}` or, if blank, spreading them over the next 5 business days.
**Step 1: Resolve the user**
Call `pipedrive-get-user` with `name.contains`. If more than one matches, list them and stop.
**Step 2: Pull the overdue activities**
Call `pipedrive-get-activity` with `assigned-to-user-id`, `done` = false, `due-date.from` = today minus the lookback and `due-date.to` = yesterday.
**Step 3: Propose, then wait**
Show a table: subject, type, deal, contact, current due date, proposed due date.
* With `{new-date}`, propose it for all of them.
* Without it, spread them across the next 5 business days, the most overdue first, no more than a fair share per day.
* Leave meetings out by default: they involve other people. List them separately and move them only if the user asks.
* Mark anything over 21 days overdue as a candidate to cancel rather than move.
Wait for explicit confirmation.
**Step 4: Write**
For each approved activity, one `pipedrive-update-activity` with `id` and `due-date` only.
**Step 5: Confirm**
Re-read with `pipedrive-get-activity` (`assigned-to-user-id`, `done` = false, `due-date.to` = yesterday) and report what is still overdue.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Pass only `id` and `due-date`. Do not change the subject, type, note, due time or links.
* Do not call `pipedrive-add-activity`. This tool set cannot mark activities done or delete them; list the cancel candidates for the user to handle in Pipedrive.
**Validation:**
* If `{new-date}` is in the past or not an ISO date, ask for a valid date.
* If nothing is overdue, say so and stop.Who it's for
