A roadmap board that can't fake its own votes

Most "public roadmaps" are decoration. A voting widget sits next to a list someone maintains in a spreadsheet, the two rarely talk to each other, and the votes exist mostly to make you feel heard while the team does whatever it was already going to do.

We didn't want to ship that. So /roadmap is now backed by mechanics that actually constrain what happens next:

• Voting is signed, not vibes. Every vote is tied to your account - you get exactly one per item, and casting it again toggles it off. No stuffing the box with five browser tabs.
• Suggestions are a real pipeline, not a suggestion box. Anyone signed in can submit one (capped at five open at a time, so nobody floods the board), edit or withdraw it while it's pending, and search the backlog before adding a duplicate.
• Promotion doesn't erase the paper trail. When we promote a suggestion to a real roadmap item, it keeps every vote it already earned. We even had to fix a bug where deleting your account would cascade-delete an item you'd already gotten promoted to the board - so we changed that. Your suggestions and their votes now outlive your account, on purpose, not by accident.

The honest tradeoff: we only show the net score in public, not the raw up/down split. Full transparency there is still an internal view for now, mostly because a raw breakdown makes brigading a more visible strategy, not less. That might change.

Full mechanics - statuses, the promotion flow, what's public vs hidden - are in the roadmap docs.
