[Epic] Deferred work · conditions and budgets recorded in risks-and-decisions.md #929

Epic · Roadmap · 24 issue(s)

Scope

Work that was deliberately deferred and recorded in risks-and-decisions.md with a condition or a budget instead of a date. Each sub-issue states the recorded condition: issues labelled deferred should not be started until it holds; the others are plain leftovers that can be picked up any time. A row leaves the decisions table only when the fix is on main, the CHANGELOG names its ID and any promised guard exists.

How to work on it

Each sub-issue can be claimed on its own. An issue labelled deferred names a condition: check that it holds before starting, and say so in the PR. See CONTRIBUTING.md, Finding Work: Issues and the Project Board; progress shows in the sub-issue list and in the project's Sub-issues progress field.

Done when

• Every sub-issue is closed (done, or closed with a reason).
