+Operator-driven session (Ben, in chat). Two-part request:
+
+1. Fold the "repo-per-RFC layout" decision into ROADMAP #35's
+   open-questions block (DECIDED: maturity-gated, manifest-glued —
+   per-RFC repo at graduation, ohm-meta as the manifest, no repo for
+   pending super-drafts), cross-referencing #33.
+
+2. "then let's do it" — execute ROADMAP #35: stand up the operator
+   RFC-authoring lane (create + merge PRs against the gitea content
+   repos — wiggleverse/ohm-meta + per-RFC repos — natively via git +
+   the gitea API, NOT through the rfc-app UX and NOT as a flotilla
+   verb). Inventory the content-repo layout + conventions, settle the
+   credential gesture (operator-configured, never in transcript),
+   prove the PR create→merge gesture end-to-end with one real RFC
+   edit, and confirm the rfc-app cache reconciles after a CLI merge.
+
+Genesis: Ben is about to flesh out the RFC specs for the first version
+of software to be built on OHM; the web modal is the wrong tool for
+heavy authoring.
