rota-vision — Project Vision & Milestones

Milestones are optional structure; nothing else in rota requires one. On the issue backend a milestone is a native tracker milestone MNN — <title> plus a tracking issue (references/issue-mode.md), and the list you write mirrors that. .rota/MILESTONES.md holds a short vision paragraph and the Active list; each milestone's plan is its tracking-issue body (file backend: .rota/milestones/MNN.md).

Copy this checklist and track your progress:
