The Standing Order

How work on this project has run since 18 October 2026 (named the Watch until 21 October 2026): the Planner files tasks, workers pick them up and open pull requests, the Owner approves public text from a private page, and the Planner merges and releases. Workers never merge, and a STOP switch halts every worker at once.
The same words the glossary hub and the public data mirror carry; this page is the stable address for the term.
