What

System SHALL flag any actor (human or agent) whose responsible_actor_id appears on activities whose [planned_start, planned_finish] intervals overlap across more than `max_parallel_activities` (configurable per actor, default 1 for human / 3 for agent). The flag appears on the schedule report and a dedicated resource-load API.

Why

established project management guidelines Resource Management requires identifying over-allocations so a PM can level manually. Solving the leveling optimization is out of scope.

How

Computation runs as part of REQ-FUN-107 schedule-report build; flagged actors are listed with the over-allocated date window. No automatic schedule modification.

Done when

Two overlapping activities assigned to the same human actor produce an over_allocated flag in the schedule report; raising max_parallel_activities for that actor via config clears the flag.

Out of scope

Automatic resource leveling (mark deferred); capacity calendars with vacation/holiday awareness.
