Pain

Improve the author selection process when editing a rule in Rules V3 (TinaCMS) by providing a more intuitive interface, default author suggestions, and handling of non-SSW links.

Acceptance Criteria

1. When editing a rule, the default author should be 'Adam Cogan' if applicable.
2. If no default author is needed, display a message prompting the user to add an author.
3. Ensure that users can add both SSW and non-SSW links,
4. Include a a placeholder silhouette image for non-SSW links.

OPTIONAL (If the team thinks it's feasible)

5. Provide a list of SSW people for easy selection, reducing the need to manually type names.
6. Include an option to customize the link and name for non-SSW authors.

Screenshot

Figure: Default author selection is not intuitive, risking incorrect saves.
