"""The list of what is still open, held against what is still true.

`DESIGN.md` ends its roadmap with "What is still open" — six things a reader
could reasonably expect and will not find. It is prose, and prose about
behavior rots in both directions: an item that gets fixed and stays listed
tells a reader the system is worse than it is, and an item that quietly stops
being described accurately hides something. Both are the defect class this
repository exists to argue about, and neither had anything failing on it.

So each bullet is anchored to a fact a test can check, and the anchors are
required to match the list exactly in both directions:

- add an open item without a check and this fails;
- fix something and leave it listed, and the behavioural check fails;
- delete an item whose behaviour has not changed, and the anchor is orphaned.

One of the six cannot be checked that way, and that is stated rather than
faked: whether a person has sat down with a screen reader is not a property
of the code at all, so the check there is only that the claim is still made,
in the documents, in the words that make it a claim. A second item used to
live here the same way — whether a required status check was configured on
GitHub is not readable from a checkout either — until 2026-08-22, when the
ruleset was applied and it stopped being an open item at all: gone from
`DESIGN.md`'s list, gone from `ANCHORS` below, and its check moved
permanently to `tests/test_rulesets.py`, which can now assert the opposite
of what this file could ever have proven — not "the claim is still made,"
but "the thing claimed is verifiably true," including the case where it
stops being true again.
