+## Where this stands
+
+`civilytics` is the house R package behind every Civilytics chart, table, and report —
+ggplot2 themes, brand palettes, logo composition, and Quarto templates, plus the
+data-wrangling helpers the analysis work leans on. It is at version 0.3.1 and already
+depended on by live projects, so changes here surface in reports that are published.
+
+Project tracking went in today. Five workstreams now divide the package by how it
+actually goes stale rather than by directory: themes and palettes, logo and branded
+output, Quarto templates, analysis helpers, and packaging. Documentation debt is caught
+automatically — if code moves and its roxygen pages do not, an issue gets filed.
+
+Three things are open. A logo defect (#20) drops patchwork panels and clips captions,
+which is the one that bites users. The flextable styling helper (#21) ships Bootstrap's
+palette as its default instead of the brand's, so tables built with the defaults are
+quietly off-brand. The third (#22) is forge housekeeping: the `kodor/*` labels are
+defined twice, at repo and org scope, which makes filtering by name unreliable.
+
+Nothing is blocked. CI last passed on `2c7c9a6`; today's scaffold commit is still
+local and unpushed, so nothing has run against it yet. The next substantive work
+is #20.
+
+## Ready to work on next
+
+- **#20** civilytics_logo(): drops patchwork panels, clips captions, and silently rescales fonts · `ws/logo` — nothing is blocking it; something is currently wrong
+- **#21** style_flextable_civilytics() defaults to Bootstrap colors, not Civilytics brand · `ws/logo` — nothing is blocking it; owed work from an earlier change
+- **#22** kodor/* labels are defined at both repo and org scope · `ws/packaging` — nothing is blocking it
