One rule: ACTIONS.md only contains things you will do, not threads to watch. Watching-threads live in WATCHLIST.md .
Tuesday + Sunday update cadence: Tuesday after the daily edition lands, Sunday during the weekly rollup.
If an action sits ⚪ for 14 days, either upgrade to 🟡, drop to 🔴 (with a one-line reason), or move it to a someday/ section. Don't let dead items accumulate.
