# A concrete improvement

Replace the title, summary, scope, and dates above. Use `not-recorded` for funding or delivery if the current state is unknown. Keep document maturity separate from decisions, funding, and implementation. See [the metadata guide](README.md#metadata-and-validation) for allowed values and evidence requirements. The template itself is not listed as a proposal.

This is a working draft. It does not establish community policy, approve funding, or authorize transactions. Replace the prompts below with the detail this change needs; keep it short when the change is small.

## Outcome

What problem are we solving, for whom, and what would a useful result look like?

## Current state and evidence

What exists today? Link original sources and date any observations about deployments, activity, or funding. Separate verified facts, assumptions, and unknowns.

## Proposed change

Describe the change and its boundaries. State what is out of scope. If there are meaningful alternatives, explain the tradeoff.

## Delivery plan

What is the smallest useful increment? Identify owners who have agreed, dependencies, and review points. List costs or funding needs separately; do not imply that a request is approved or a contributor has committed.

## Validation and risks

How will we check that this works? Describe important failure modes, affected people or systems, and the rollback or recovery path. List any security or specialist review needed.

## Decision and authority

Who can authorize this change, and under which existing process? What feedback is needed? Leave the decision pending until it is made. A site or repository decision cannot authorize changes to shared funds, contracts, or governance rules.

## Progress and outcome

Link work, checks, decisions, and results as they happen. Record the date, decision maker or mechanism, scope, and evidence before changing the decision, funding, or delivery record. If deferred, withdrawn, or superseded, explain why and link any replacement.

## Agent assistance, if any

Describe the agent's role and what the submitting contributor checked. Do not include private prompts, private conversations, or credentials.
