The development cadence (last release November 2025) confirms my Session 5 finding that "MetaDAO has implemented no protocol-level design changes since FairScale." + +**What surprised me:** The 6 open PRs combined with no new release since November 2025 suggests either: (a) the next release is in preparation, or (b) development has slowed. This is the longest gap between releases in the project's history if the 9 releases have been roughly quarterly. + +**What I expected but didn't find:** Any OMFG-related code, leverage protocol integration, or governance improvements. The absence confirms OMFG is a separate protocol, not a MetaDAO native feature. + +**KB connections:** +- [[MetaDAOs futarchy implementation shows limited trading volume in uncontested decisions]] — the GitHub state suggests the core mechanism is stable, not evolving — which could indicate either maturity or stagnation +- The 4+ month release gap after FairScale is a data point against the "ecosystem is responding to discovered vulnerabilities" hypothesis + +**Extraction hints:** +- Enrichment to FairScale follow-up: GitHub confirms no protocol-level response 3 months post-FairScale — the ecosystem is not evolving the mechanism to address the implicit put option problem +- Low extraction priority — this is confirmatory evidence, not new insight + +**Context:** Open source development signals. MetaDAO's open architecture (TypeScript + Rust, AGPLv3) allows forking — futard.io is likely a fork or derivative, which would explain why futard.io is separately tracking MetaDAO's governance mechanism. + +## Curator Notes (structured handoff for extractor) +PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[MetaDAOs futarchy implementation shows limited trading volume in uncontested decisions]] +WHY ARCHIVED: GitHub state confirms no protocol changes since FairScale — the ecosystem's technical response to the documented vulnerability is absence, not innovation +EXTRACTION HINT: Low priority — use only to confirm the "no protocol-level response" finding from Session 5; do not extract a standalone claim from this alone
