Now, what I want to do is add a FOREIGN KEY (again, I think) that when

Why not just get rid of the status column in incident_comments, and
treat incident_summary.status as the sole copy of the state? When you
need to get to it from incident_comments, you do a join.
I may end up getting to that point ...
The foreign key you really ought to have here is from
incident_comments.incident_id to incident_summary.id
(assuming that I've understood your schema correctly).
'k, where I'm getting lost here is how do I get status changed in
_comments on UPDATE of incident_summary.id? There doesn't seem to be
anything for ON UPDATE to 'run SQL query' or some such ... or I'm reading
old docs :( This is the part that I'm having a bugger of a time wrapping
my head around ...
