Subject: [PATCH] The manual keeps up: the task list is live
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

#165 landed, so the To-do row's "Landing next" pill is now false. It
reads Live, points at /todo, and says the thing worth knowing about
that surface — ticking an item off is the list's own business and
never re-files the Thread. The setup section drops the caveat it no
longer has.

The status pills are the one part of the legend that is hand-held
rather than derived, which is exactly why they need this pass every
time a destination ships.

No-ticket: true
