Sorely missing update post for what has been done since April 2nd:

- Labels have been revamped for PRs and Issues on our repos. I felt they were much too hard to visually distinguish at a glance. The new system solves this

- Add a page on our website describing PAWs, as per one of our last posts on this account
- Merged
PURR-2026-0006: Namespacing Guidelines, a set of guidelines for naming polyproto extensions in collision-resistant ways, by @alexia
- Opened PURR-2026-0008: Capabilities, describing optional extensions and how client and server negotiate a set of common features automatically (such as a chat server not also offering voicechats)
- Made substantial progress on PURR-2026-0001: OIDC+SCIM in polyproto, describing a concrete flow for how to register a polyproto actor through an OIDC+SCIM IdP (with diagrams)
- Progressed further in PURR-2026-0001 by researching how to best replace the concept of a "Sensitive Solution" we previously introduced with OIDC/OAuth2 mechanics. Sensitive Solutions are basically just a "confirm this action with your password" for certain actions requiring elevated trust
- Created a repository for "altmaid", a tool to automatically parse mermaid diagrams in markdown documents and auto-generate accurate, descriptive and helpful alt text for them

As you can see, lots and lots of work has been done, and the month isn't even over yet,
and the list isn't even exhaustive! neocat_floof_cute
