I appreciate that! That's really what I'm asking for is ideas. I don't
mind writing a bit of code, but I'm not sure where to start.

The core issue is I want to report on total time as an aggregate, not
on time per task. Clock reporting gives me precise time accounting for
a specific task. I want to fill whole hours with whatever tasks
happened at those times chronologically.

I saw that. Interesting they don't appear to change the result, they
modify the input when you record the time by rounding.

I had considered perhaps converting inactive timestamps into clocking
records. Unfortunately I think the core issue remains in aggregating
by task, not by time.
