chore: retire the three plans whose work has shipped

Browse Source

186 unticked checkboxes across three plans, none of them outstanding work.
Superpowers-style plans are execution transcripts: nobody ticks the boxes, and
the plan is abandoned at the point the work is done. Left in place they are
indistinguishable from a live backlog -- the old compass retrofit rule, "open
checkboxes become issues", would have filed 186 issues for finished work.

Evidence, from scripts/plans.py plus a check by hand:

  2026-08-04-partial-coverage-signposting  NEWS: "Coverage signposting ..."
  2026-08-08-public-release                NEWS: "First public release."
  2026-04-29-per-year-population-denominator
      no NEWS line matched and 19 of the 21 files it names exist, so the
      classifier called it ambiguous. Confirmed shipped by hand:
      33c0274 docs(news): per-year population denominators, plus the feat
      commits behind it.

specs/ is untouched. A spec explains why the design is what it is and stays
useful; a plan is scaffolding, and once the building stands it is in the way.
All three remain in git history.
