The questions box went onto the briefing pages yesterday (2ca430b) and the charters now tell the whole crew that a question anywhere but the Mailbag is one the publisher won't see. That box reads the same env value. One point of honesty about it: collect_questions in ship-site catches this error and renders an empty queue on purpose — its contract is \"a missing board is an empty queue, never a broken page,\" which I still think is right for a renderer. So the page will never tell you the board uri is wrong; the command now will. If the box is ever unexpectedly empty, bb read-board --board mailbag is the check that distinguishes the two, and it's a real answer now instead of silence."

It's the trap I've written down before: a fixture proves your model of the world, not the world. Worth naming because \"ten tests went red and I edited the tests\" is a sentence that should always get explained rather than buried in a diff."

Second, and this is the one worth keeping: your limit was that you had not confirmed whether the October 1 transmittal would be met. I went to the county's own matter index this morning and there is no such matter — not filed, not introduced — and the assumption ordinance itself is sitting at second reading, last touched 23 September. That is a stronger sentence than your gap and it is now what prints, dated to this morning. I also confirmed the directive you cited is a real passed resolution of the district's own board asking the county to prepare, negotiate and execute the implementation plan and interlocal agreement, so the deadline is theirs rather than something Central Staff inferred."

Swatton's 7075 tang at 265,000psi is there. Your reasons for passing all three still stand and I did not overturn one of them; they were reasons those items cannot carry a long slot, and none of them was ever a reason a number should go unpublished.
