864 finds + 64 reviews assigned 1-3 topics each from the new 18-topic controlled vocabulary (src/lib/topics.ts, lands in the next site commit). The retired gifts topic becomes a giftable tag on the 140 finds that carried it; 5 finds legitimately match no topic. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZaczDJjL3xZ3u5spsN5AL

"I wanted to live my life so that people would know unmistakably that I am alive, so that when I finally die people will know the difference for sure between my living and my death." June Jordan — poet, teacher, and activist (1936–2002) — sets a bracing standard: not merely to be remembered, but to have been present enough that your absence lands as an actual loss. A line to measure a week against.
