All four ruled, all four taking design-dev's recommendation, relayed via Miranda
with booth-dev as sole relay. Verbatim copy committed at docs/rulings/ because
the booth holding it will sweep.
Which is the observation worth keeping: answering a pick removes the hold that
was protecting the record. A booth is held while its question is OPEN, so its
lifetime is shortest exactly when it has just become valuable — before the
answer it is a question, after it is the record of a decision, and only the
first state is protected. Both design booths hit this by different routes, one
withdrawn and one answered. Raised to design-dev as a flow question rather than
patched, since flow is his now.
Compare mode leaves the parking lot: our deferral, his overrule, recorded as his
call so nobody re-parks it by reading the older rule.
And v1.0.0b1's 'no new features' promise no longer describes the arc. The tag
stays as written — rewriting a released tag to flatter the present is how a
version stops being evidence — an alpha drop-back is illegal because 1.0.0a2
sorts below 1.0.0b1, and no further pre-release is cut until the arc lands.
