* feat(gists): allow authors to correct a gist within a 60s edit window (#215)

* feat(gists): allow authors to correct a gist within a 60s edit window

* fix(contracts): pin Cargo.lock to fix CI build break

soroban-env-host 22.1.3 declares ed25519-dalek as ">=2.0.0" with no
upper bound. Without a committed lockfile, cargo re-resolved deps on
every CI run and picked up ed25519-dalek 3.0.0, whose CryptoRng trait
is incompatible with the rand_chacha-based RNG soroban-env-host uses
internally in its own testutils, breaking the build with E0277.

Pin ed25519-dalek to 2.2.0 (still satisfies the >=2.0.0 constraint)
and commit Cargo.lock so builds are reproducible instead of drifting
with upstream releases.

* chore(ci): enable reproducible Docker builds with provenance and SLSA attestations (#207)

* Add Dependabot auto-merge workflow (GrantFox #163) (#197)

Co-authored-by: GBOYEE <bot@xandercorp.io>

* chore: disable Dependabot version updates

Replaces Dependabot version-update PRs with manual dependency management. Adds .github/dependabot.yml with version: 2 and an empty updates: list. Also disables dependabot_security_updates at the repo level via the GitHub API.

* chore: remove now-no-op Dependabot auto-merge workflow

Dependabot version updates are disabled via .github/dependabot.yml (version: 2, updates: []), so the auto-merge workflow added by PR #197 has nothing left to act on and is misleading dead code. Removes .github/workflows/auto-merge.yml.

* chore(docs): remove early draft ADRs

Removes preliminary architecture decision records 0001-0006 (Stellar-as-blockchain, geohash, mock-mode defaults, postgres extensions, postgis-only, hybrid on/off-chain storage). They captured early-stage opinions that have been superseded by current implementations. Preserved in git history for reference.

* feat(infrastructure): add GitHub issue import pipeline

Adds two Node.js scripts under infrastructure/scripts/:
   - import-issues.mjs: parses docs/ISSUES_100.md into a structured JSON with one entry per issue (titles, bodies, labels). Validates that exactly 100 sequential #1..#100 issues are produced.
   - import-issues-create.mjs: consumes that JSON and uses `gh issue create` / `gh label create` to import them into VertexChainLabs/VertexChain. Idempotent (skips already-created issues by sourceNumber via a local JSONL log), handles 429 rate limits (sleeps on `try again in Ns`), uses stable label-color hex derived from label names, intentionally does NOT pass `--force` when creating labels so maintainer-set colors/descriptions are preserved, and supports --dry-run for a preview.

* chore(ci): remove Dependabot from CI

Deletes .github/dependabot.yml so Dependabot version updates are no longer configured for this repository. The Dependabot auto-merge workflow (.github/workflows/auto-merge.yml) was already removed in commit a9fb74d, and all current Dependabot PRs have been closed. Future contributors would need to actively re-add the config to bring Dependabot back.

* feat(governance): add counter-vote support and get_proposals_by_proposer

- Upgrade vote storage from bare bool to VoteRecord { vote_power: u32, against: bool }
- Add rejections: u32 field to Proposal struct to track against-votes
- Update vote_proposal() to accept against: bool parameter;
  against=false increments approvals, against=true increments rejections
- Prevent vote flipping: AlreadyVoted error covers both duplicate and
  direction-change attempts (checked via storage key existence)
- Add ProposalsByProposer(Address) storage key maintaining Vec<u32> of
  proposal IDs per proposer, updated atomically in create_proposal()
- Expose get_proposals_by_proposer(addr) -> Vec<u32> on contract;
  returns empty Vec for addresses with no proposals
- Add migrate_votes(admin, snapshot_votes) one-shot migration function
  for existing on-chain bool votes pre-upgrade; guarded by MigrationDone
  flag (new error MigrationAlreadyDone = 11), admin-only
- Extend voted event to include against flag for off-chain indexers
- Add migration_done event emitting count of migrated entries
- Add 12 new tests covering counter-votes, proposer index, and migration;
  all 15 tests pass (cargo test --workspace: 27 total, 0 failed)
- cargo fmt, clippy -D warnings, cargo check, wasm32 release build all pass

Closes #131

* fix(docs): wrap Vec<u32> in backticks to silence rustdoc invalid-html-tags

RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings treats bare Vec<u32> in a doc comment as an
unclosed HTML tag <u32> (rustdoc::invalid-html-tags lint).  Wrapping
the type in backticks makes it a code span, not markup.

Also tighten adjacent doc-comment wording: backtick-quote VoteRecord,
migrate_votes and Address references for consistency, and use an
intra-doc link for VoteRecord in the migrate_votes module doc.
