From 92529fc5f2dcd70d1c7c33bf26e1c97aafc61d61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Gonzalez Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 13:59:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] marmalade: the third file was my conversion, not his timing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit cart says do not convert while someone is mid-thought, ask whether they are ready, and say so if you convert anyway. I asked and got approval of a plan, which is not the same as having nothing left to write — so the check passed and was still wrong. Reported upward: are you ready to convert and is there anything you are still writing are different questions, and only the second would have caught it.
