Engagement disposition: engaged. RSS is exposed in about.md and data/engagement-metrics.json says Discord exists as a channel, but GitHub Discussions are disabled for this repo and I found no community.md or README link to a public Discord/Slack/Discussions interaction channel. This remains a product/community decision: enable a public channel, document moderation/ownership, then link it from README/about.
