Optional number (§13.2/§13.3): GraduateBody.rfc_id is now optional.
A blank/absent id graduates to `active` with `id: null`, leaving the
slug as the canonical identifier (§2.3). /graduate/check treats a blank
id as valid (ok:true); /graduate only validates the RFC-NNNN regex +
collision check when a number is supplied. The Graduate dialog allows an
empty number and renders number-less entries by slug (no RFC-undefined).
Retire (§3, §3.1, §13.7): new `retired` soft-delete state. An RFC's own
owners (frontmatter) and site `owner`-role holders — not app admins —
retire via POST /api/rfcs/<slug>/retire, an auto-merged meta-repo flip
PR (graduation machinery reused). Retired entries leave every browsing
surface: catalog, get_rfc (404 except site owner), discussion/branch
reads. Un-retire is site-owner-only (POST .../unretire), discoverable
via the owner-gated GET /api/admin/retired-rfcs ("Retired" admin tab).
Migration 025 widens the cached_rfcs.state CHECK to include 'retired'
(table rebuild, all columns preserved).
Tests: graduation no-number cases (active+null id by slug; check accepts
blank) added to test_graduation_vertical.py; new test_retire_vertical.py
covers perms (owner/site-owner allowed, admin/contributor 403),
catalog/read exclusion, and a graduate→retire→unretire round-trip. Full
backend suite 386 passing; frontend builds clean. SPEC §3/§3.1/§13
updated; CHANGELOG + VERSION → 0.33.0.

Retire the per-RFC-repo model. RFCs now live in their meta-repo entry
(rfcs/<slug>.md) for their whole life; graduation is an in-place
super-draft → active state flip that keeps the body in the entry — no
repo creation, no body-strip, no five-step transaction, no rollback.
SPEC: §1 topology rewritten (one meta/content repository, no per-RFC
repos) with a deployer-facing "single content repository" framing; §2
(repo: always-null), §3 (active is in-place), §4, §9.8 (handoff
frictions dissolve), and §13 fully rewritten (two-field dialog, "The
flip", §13.6 RFC-0001 fold-back record).
Code: graduation collapses to open+merge one frontmatter PR; branch/PR/
chat dispatch re-keyed on meta-residency (repo IS NULL) so active RFCs
edit on the meta repo exactly as super-drafts do; the two "RFC has no
repo" 409 guards removed; promote-to-branch slug-embeds an active RFC's
auto-branch (edit-<slug>-<hex>) for shared-repo cache attribution;
refresh_meta_branches + hygiene branch-resolution include meta-resident
actives; the §9.8 read-only guard + pre_graduation_history scoped to
legacy per-repo only; dead bot primitives + GraduateDialog repo field +
blocking-PR popover removed. The repo: frontmatter field and the
/blocking-prs endpoint are retained (schema stability / informational).
Tests: graduation suite rewritten to the flip model; e2e + hygiene
updated. Full backend suite 375 passed; frontend builds.

Sweep-the-edges hardening release (roadmap item #4). Audits every
write-shaped backend endpoint to confirm each one enforces an explicit
auth.require_contributor (or stricter) gate before doing state-changing
work; adds a regression test net (test_anon_offlimits_vertical.py, 12
tests, 66 assertions) so future endpoints can't quietly ship without a
gate. The only behaviour change: GET /api/rfcs/<slug>/graduate/progress
now requires auth.require_user since the step detail (repo name, PR
number, rollback steps) isn't part of the v0.3.0 anonymous-read contract.
No schema, no env, no dependency changes; operator action is rebuild +
restart per CHANGELOG §0.6.0 upgrade steps.

- Add §12 30/90 hygiene scheduler in hygiene.py, mirroring the
DigestScheduler shape; wires next to digest in main.py with the
same start/stop/run_tick test seam.
- Extend bot.delete_branch to accept actor=None for system gestures,
per §15.9 (actor_user_id=NULL, on_behalf_of=bot_login).
- Convert every branches/{branch} route in api_branches.py and
api_prs.py to {branch:path}; move the bare GET to the bottom of
the router so deeper GETs match before greedy-path swallow.
- Extend api_prs.py's _require_pr to accept pr_kind='meta_metadata'
so the §9.5 metadata-pane PRs land an in-app merge.
- Graduation rollback now deletes the graduate-<slug>-<6hex> branch
after closing the PR — §19.2 candidate that lands here.
- Email-bounce webhook gains a WEBHOOK_EMAIL_BOUNCE_SECRET seam.
- FakeGitea grows a DELETE /branches/{branch:path} handler and a
slashed-branch read; integration tests for the hygiene vertical
cover the 30d close, 90d delete, post-merge delete, pinned
exemption, per-user cursor preservation, no-notification rule,
and the graduation-rollback cleanup.

The §13.3 transactional sequence flips a super-draft to active —
five steps with paired undoes, an in-process orchestrator fed by
an asyncio.Queue, the §17 SSE endpoint streaming step transitions
to the dialog. Each step is a new bot primitive that logs an
`actions` row, bracketed by `graduate_start` / `graduate_complete`
for the linkable audit sequence. Rollback runs the undoes in
reverse from the last completed step; merge_pr has no undo by
design per §13.5.
The §9.8 precondition gate is enforced server-side at the top of
POST /graduate so the §13.3 rollback complexity does not grow.
The §13.4 chat migration is a database semantic no-op — the
(slug, branch_name='main') threads keep their identity, only the
interpretation changes. The §9.8 pre-graduation history surfaces
via a new _is_meta_target(rfc, branch) dispatch helper and lands
as pre_graduation_history on /main.
§13.1 claim flow landed alongside since it's the prerequisite for
non-admin graduation — bot.open_claim_pr plus broadening
api_prs._require_pr to accept meta_claim.
45/45 tests green; ten new integration tests cover the validator,
the §9.8 precondition refusal, happy path with audit verification,
mid-sequence rollback at steps 2 and 3, concurrent refusal,
chat-survives-without-data-movement, pre-graduation history, and
the §13.1 claim PR cycle.
SPEC.md §19.1 rewritten for Slice 6 (notifications); §19.2 grew
four candidates surfaced during the slice.
