Integrate Proposal discussion flow into Voting flow

[m-i-k-e]

On the Proposal Discussion Forum Figma, the proposal part of Governance Actions is not integrated with the flow on the GovTool Figma (which is being built). A Governance Action (or it could be called a Governance Proposal) is a single thing with multiple stages.

1. Enter proposal in a form, which can be saved as a Draft
2. The proposal can be made 'live' on GovTool and discussed
3. The proposal can be abandoned before going on chain
4. It can go on-chain for a vote (requires a large deposit)
5. It can be enacted
6. It can be not-enacted (expire or get voted down)
7. It can be viewed in perpetuity after the vote has closed.

All of these stages must be supported by the design and navigation of each proposal.

Furthermore, the Governance Action section currently on govtool must support aggregated searching of all the above, with a clear indicator of what stage any proposal is in, and also with properly-structured filtering to help users find the proposals they are interested in.

this is implemented I believe if not, discussion can move to newer issues

I've tested this flow, and there are some UX problems. Unfortunately, I've ran out of test ADA (could only do one test) and will have to re-test tomorrow.

What I've found:

The Proposal part of govtool is not integrated properly, full stop. To be well designed, and usable, we need to look at the overall UX of how Governance Actions are created, managed, voted on, viewed, etc. What are the problems:

• First off, what is the difference between a "Proposal" and a GA? Nothing, They are the same thing: a Governance Action, but in different stages. Hence, it is confusing to have both in the main navigation. There should only be Governance Actions, and some governance actions are in the proposal stage, which the users will need to clearly see when they look there.
• In reference to the above, If I am a user and I see, for example, a GA in the proposal stage, and come back some time later, and want to find it, it is logical to look for it under "Proposals", but if its been promoted to a 'votable' GA, then I will not find it there. Furthermore, the proposals list and the GA list have two different designs, and two different search scopes.
• If I create a Governance action, or actions, there needs to be an easy way to see where my Actions are. So we need to provide a place where creators of GAs can find their Actions quickly.
