The page is generated from this file by tools/stories-build.mjs; nothing here is new reporting. See stories/grammar.md. Every \"nothing announced\" here is a tripwire: its support expects the board card to be open or the decision edge to be not_announced, so the check fails, and the sentence is retold, when an answer arrives.",
