Launch prompt

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.
