What

/about (English only; it is not in TRANSLATED_ROUTES):

  • Stale rule fixed. It said the stack is governed with "humans holding the red lines". Since the owner's decision of 2026-11-01, which decisions only people may vote on is each organization's own rule, changed only by a vote under the rule it already has (.claude/CLAUDE.md, DEFAULT_HUMANS_ONLY_CATEGORIES). The sentence now says so.
  • Laws and numbers. One paragraph says why Solon keeps each place's law and statistics side by side, and links /statistics/why.
  • Metadata. The page exported none and showed the site's default title and description. It now has its own.
  • Accent, not orange. The "Verify, don't trust" and "Append-only record" icons used text-bitcoin. They now use text-accent, which becomes the civic accent with feat(brand): monochrome accent from the pack (1.7.1), icons without orange #518. The Bitcoin icon keeps orange (AGENTS.md: orange is for Bitcoin and top-of-funnel actions only). No token changes.

Depends on

#539 (/statistics/why). This branch is built on it with origin/main merged in.

Checks

  • pnpm run verify passes (1,335 tests).
  • /about rendered locally: 200, <title>About Solon</title>, the new sentence and the link are present.

Why Solon keeps each place's law beside its statistics: to see how a place is
governed and how it is doing, to mark what it does not measure, and to let
groups decide together. Every thing the page names carries its status, read
from DATA_CAPABILITIES in capabilities.ts, not from the sentence: per-place gap
reports, law changes on the line and "what other places did about a trend" are
Planned. South Ossetia is the worked example: its law and 2023 budget are live;
its statistics office's figures and gaps are "Researched, not yet loaded".

Sources opened for the page's own sentences: Statistics Denmark STRAFNA3,
Geostat's 2024 vital statistics report (coverage excludes the Tskhinvali
region from 1994), ugosstat.ru's compendium list (2025 posted 2026-06-24).

StatusList is the one row shape for "is it real today"; CapabilityList uses
it. Status is translated (removed from PENDING_TRANSLATION) so the page reads
in all five languages. Linked from the site map (footer, mobile menu, Find);
the header panel is unchanged.

…s; a title

- "humans holding the red lines" was the rule before 2026-11-01. Which
  decisions only people may vote on is now each organization's own rule,
  changed only by a vote under the rule it already has (.claude/CLAUDE.md,
  DEFAULT_HUMANS_ONLY_CATEGORIES).
- One paragraph on why Solon keeps each place's law and statistics side by
  side, linking /statistics/why.
- The page had no metadata and showed the site's default title; it now has its
  own title and description.
- The two principle icons that are not about Bitcoin (verify, append-only)
  take the accent, not Bitcoin orange (AGENTS.md: orange is for Bitcoin and
  top-of-funnel actions). The Bitcoin icon keeps it.

/about stays English (it is not in TRANSLATED_ROUTES).
