| Source | the owner, in chat, 13 October 2026: the wire read as an inbox; flag stories read, to do, done, follow up; update the wire's vault with a description of what changed, as a release; see the new stuff, for me and not for me; local first, an explicit push to the vault, and knowing what would be lost without it |

What is asked
The owner: go through the news flagged for me or others, or any of it, and flag each one: read, to do, done, processed, follow up. The brief of The site is an inbox: the inbox is what has not been decided, and the state to return to is empty. The design is the wire as an inbox.
Scenario
Given I open the wire with no decisions
Then the bar offers Inbox, New, Read later, Follow up, Done and Everything, each with its count
And every story is in the inbox with six decisions: Done, Read later, Follow up, Not for me, More like this, Wrong
When I tap Done at a story
Then a note of kind done is kept with the story's id
And the story leaves the inbox, and the bar says what I decided, with undo
When I choose Done in the bar
Then the story is listed there, folded to its headline, with undo
When I undo
Then the story is back in the inbox
