From 30041e03eab3d9a232bbe9789ac0ab5600189c01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Your Name Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 16:43:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(roadmap): the last checkbox becomes a link MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit "Rack the shelf switch" was the one item still holding its own state, because it landed after the rest were filed. It is now #110, with the measurements, the 4-post/square-hole/cage-nut spec and the reasoning carried over intact — including why the purchase cannot be avoided, which had already been checked at the rack. The roadmap now tracks nothing. Every line points somewhere that does.
