🅿️ Parked — blocked on external signal

Each item names the trigger that would unblock it. Not counted against open work; review periodically to confirm the signal hasn’t already arrived.

How this works

• Parsed ~/Code/dare-co-uk/CLAUDE.md Active follow-ups section.
• Cross-referenced each bullet against:
• Last 30 days of git log in dare-co-uk
• Recently-modified files in ~/Downloads/ (dev-reports artefacts)
• Effort estimate from keyword heuristics (rollout/N-page/build = lengthy; decide/swap/fix = quick; default = medium).
• Conservative bias: when in doubt, classify as open. Likely-done flag means review for removal, not auto-close.

What’s next

• Triage the likely-done items into the actual CLAUDE.md edit.
• Pick a quick open item if you have 30 min.
• Schedule the lengthy ones into focused sessions.
• Daily-hygiene cadence: re-run drops the count as items resolve. Add a tripwire when n_done > 0 if you want the rollup to bug you about it.
