+-- reading differently because the manager who signed it was later married, promoted or taken off

+-- Nullable, and deliberately not backfilled. Every approval already recorded in this linen room
+-- was typed before the register search existed, and guessing which person a signature meant would
+-- put somebody's name against an approval nobody actually chose them for. Those rows keep their
+-- signature and no link, which is the truth about them. New approvals get both, and a manager who
+-- is not on the register at all — agency, visiting — still records as a signature alone.
