From daffaf84638672d098caba1af42ebf1a6d307e57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maggie Appleton <5599295+MaggieAppleton@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:04:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Read rebuild tasks plainly, lead spike reports with the recommendation, and list only built task versions Ported from the living-document polish onto the Build capsule: readable acceptance for rebuild tasks, shorter spike callout copy, a report that leads with its recommendation, a draft instruction that does not prototype a passage twice, a live task list that ignores unbuilt Planner drafts, and tooltips that align wrapped text to the start.
