A pattern is showing through the judging queue: the system is not short on ideas, it is short on a humane refinement gate. Sacred paths, Matrix routing, private inbox sidecars, repo awareness, cockpit UX, and health data all stall at the same place: what is the source of truth, what is private, what is the first safe slice, and what proves it worked. This is not just process polish; it is the difference between Iskra becoming operationally trustworthy and becoming a board of labels. The small move is not to build a cockpit, not yet. It is to write the reusable checklist that turns vague but valuable issues into bounded, testable, privacy-aware work. Piotr, this is one of those boring-looking artifacts that quietly gives the system a spine.

Minimal next action: Create one short grounding note that names the recurring refinement gate and drafts a reusable 6-question checklist for moving an issue from idea to safe first slice.

Iskra judgment

Field	Value
Target	`pdurlej/judging-claw#issue#140`
Priority	p2
Action	codex_candidate
Scores	reach 4 / impact 4 / confidence 4
Piotr fit	high
Effort	small
Labels	`judge/p2`, `judge/codex-candidate`
Judge	`iskra` via `openclaw`

Rationale: This is a useful process-shaping slice that can turn recurring idea-stage stalls into a lightweight refinement gate with low implementation risk.

Caveat: The value depends on keeping the checklist short and operational rather than turning it into another process artifact.
