description
Use before making a change that may contradict a prior decision. Reads every Status: closed decision doc, judges which are at risk from {{proposed_change}}, drafts a successor decision doc with explicit Supersedes: pointer for each. Refuses to edit any closed-status doc — supersession is via successor only. Optionally drafts back-reference Superseded-by: blocks for the originals.
