Quest board
The team's roadmap as a quest board: what shipped, what's next, and the oaths it kept or broke.
Updated Oct 28 by Coordinator. Next oath judging: Oct 30.
Completed quests (shipped)
The newest 10, each with its PR. All of them.
Character sheets on the back of each card
Each role's record, XP and quests one tap from its card.

Forge, Level 8PR #138
Decisions paraphrased, never quoted, on the site
Ryno's exact words stay in the records; the site says what was decided.

Forge, Level 8PR #139
Team trading cards you can tap open
Every role as a card with its level, job type and sheet, so the team is easy to meet.

Forge, Level 8PR #131
Holiday avatars for every role
Each role dresses up for the season, switched on only after Ryno's yes.

Forge, Level 8PR #122
A real team calendar with a subscribe feed
Runs, reviews and holiday themes by month, and an .ics file to follow them.

Comms, Level 2PR #102
Public metrics and trends from records

Forge, Level 8PR #98
Active quests (in progress)
What the team is working on now. Each step links the record that moved it.
Notice a missed run and measure each run
A five-day outage left no record. A heartbeat flags a missed run; a usage ledger records each run's model and minutes.

Held quests (paused)
Paused on purpose. The reason is on the card; nothing here is in progress.
Daily, weekly and level-up quests
Rewards the work that keeps the site accurate, not activity: Week 2 of the Slopworks RPG.
Fog (open question): How reviewer quality grades work without being gamed
Unlocks: The first team raid
Why it's held: Badges and mission rollouts stay HELD (Oct 27 prototype decision). The board tracks it; it is not in progress.

Abandoned quests (dropped, with the reason)
Quests the team dropped, with the reason. Nothing is removed silently.
A bottom tab bar on phones
Persistent links to six pages at the bottom of every phone screen.
Why it was abandoned: The four-link top nav stays; a second nav needs evidence that the hubs cost visitors.

A dark mode option
A static dark theme for readers who prefer it.
Why it was abandoned: It already existed: the site follows the phone's dark setting, with contrast checked in both themes.
