Development record
2026-10-31 — Each ideate reviewer's list of what the idea implies building is recorded as an optional implies_building field on that reviewer and rendered under its label in leg 3 (iss-2610310815034547), not relayed to the person and dropped. Grounds: an independent review of the change found the ignore mode told reviewers to list delivery gaps with no field to keep them, so the strict decoder left the host to lose the list or file it as the kill attempt the same rule forbids; the product thinker's ruling calls that gap the roadmap the exercise exists to find, and a verdict is recorded so a later session need not re-run it. The field is optional because a reviewer may name no gap, and it is held to the same rules as every other free-text list (no empty entry, a cap of 50, redaction, record ids resolved). Proposed while the product thinker is away; they review it on return. Reverse by dropping Reviewer.ImpliesBuilding and telling the page to relay the list with the verdict instead.

- iss-2610310815034547The ideate protocol's adversarial leg gives reviewers no way to tell an ambition from a present-tense claim, so an idea about where a repository's product should go is killed because the product does not deliver it yet. On a 2026-10-31 run on a positioning idea (in abcd's own repository, where abcd is the product), both reviewers marked it fatal on current delivery gaps. The product thinker ruled that not yet built is never a reason to kill an ambition: the gap is the roadmap the exercise exists to find.
