Two things lifted off /pulse in the follow-up pass need somewhere to live so they aren't forgotten: - The 'Recently from the council' feed (RecentlyFromTheCouncil reading from the contributions table). Component and underlying table stay in place; only the /pulse embed is gone. Records the options for re- introducing it: inline in the Latest-from-Fenja card, a dedicated Voices section further down, or stop surfacing on the home page. - 'This week's pulse' voting card. pulses/votes schema + admin Pulses tab stay. Records the merge-into-dispatches idea — fold poll-shaped dispatches into the Latest from Fenja stream rather than rebuilding a parallel block.

Deferred from the Phase 2 home-page simplification (commits after ed2c272).
Recently from the council (the feed)
Removed from /pulse in this pass. Currently no surface for member-authored
contributions on the home page.
The underlying contributions table, the RecentlyFromTheCouncil component,
and the existing /contribute page all remain in place — only the home-page
embed is gone.
When we revisit this, options to consider:
- Inline a compact "What members are saying" row inside the Roadmap + Latest from Fenja card — single quote, smallest possible treatment, doesn't repeat dispatch real-estate.
- A dedicated Voices / Council notes section much further down the page with a stronger editorial frame.
- Surface contributions only on the dedicated /contribute page (already exists) and rely on dispatches as the primary "what's moving" signal.
This week's pulse voting block
Removed from /pulse in this pass. The pulses, votes, vote-uniqueness
constraint, admin Pulses tab, and the activity voted kind all remain — only
the on-page voting card is gone.
Idea worth trying: rather than rebuild as its own block, fold polling
into the "Latest from Fenja" stream. A dispatch can be tagged as a poll
(one of the existing kinds, or a new poll kind) and rendered inline with
the 2–4 vote options + locked state + result bars. Single editorial channel
instead of two competing "what should I read first" surfaces on the home page.
If we go that way:
- Schema: extend
dispatcheswith a nullablepulse_idforeign key (or embed options on the dispatch directly). - Render: when a dispatch is poll-shaped, its excerpt block becomes the Pulse question + options; the "Read the full dispatch" affordance can stay for context/comments.
- Admin: a checkbox on the dispatch form ("Attach an active poll") + inline options inputs. No need for the standalone Pulses tab once this lands — fold it in.
