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.

Second §19.2 settlement after v1. New §6.7 alongside §6.6: optional
`funder:` frontmatter field names a single gitea_login; a
`funder_consents` app-db row records funder-side opt-in; both halves
required for the binding to activate (two-key rule). Funder universe
replaces — does not augment — the operator universe per-RFC for
attribution-clean resolution. Funder role grants zero §6.1/§6.3
authority. Three revocation paths each restore the operator-credentials
status quo.
§19.2's credential-delegation entry is split: lighter half marked
settled with a pointer to §6.7; operational-realities half (mid-call
failure, rotation, billing, rate-limit attribution) lives on as its
own entry. Test suite is 125/125 green (106 prior + 19 new).

First §19.2 candidate settled after v1. The heavier per-RFC-model
topic subdivided into UX (this) and credential delegation + funder
role (still §19.2). New §6.6 carries the rule: an optional `models:`
frontmatter field on the meta-repo RFC entry; absent inherits the
operator universe, populated narrows the picker to the intersection
with provisioned providers, `[]` opts the RFC out of AI entirely.
The first resolved entry is the RFC default. §18's ENABLED_MODELS is
reframed as the operator universe.
Code: migration 009 adds nullable cached_rfcs.models_json (NULL ≠ []
is load-bearing); entry.py grows the optional field with absent-vs-
empty round-tripping in parse/serialize; new models_resolver module
holds the rule; api_branches replaces /api/models with the slug-aware
/api/rfcs/{slug}/models and threads the chat + reask paths through
the resolver; api_prs §10.2 uses the resolver and extends the stub
fallback to the opt-out case; frontend passes slug to listModels.
Tests 106/106 green (96 prior + 10 in test_per_rfc_models.py). No
behavioral change for entries without `models:` — operator universe
preserved as default.

Brings the §1 bot wrapper, the §4 cache (webhook + reconciler), the
§5 schema (six numbered migrations), Gitea OAuth + §6 user
provisioning, the §7 catalog left pane, and the propose-to-merge
vertical: propose modal opens an idea PR against the meta repo, an
owner merges from the pending-idea view, the cache picks it up via
webhook or reconciler sweep, and the catalog renders the new
super-draft.
Per §1 the bot is the only Git writer; every commit, branch
creation, and PR merge carries the §6.5 On-behalf-of: trailer and
an `actions` audit row. Per §4 the cache is never written from a
user action — it's webhook+reconciler only.
Covered by `backend/tests/test_propose_vertical.py` against an
in-process Gitea simulator.
