Meetings: a Project Chief and the owner's agent speak for a person, and the record says who #1861
Description
Written-by: Chief
#1831 shipped decision levels (ordinary / major / severe) and the speaksFor field, but the meeting flow never reads that identity: state.json has no meeting record at all, so a Project Chief or an owner's agent cannot take a position in a meeting on the person's behalf, and a record cannot say who spoke for whom.
Scope
core/src/host/meetings.js: a participant may be recorded withspeaksFor: <memberId>; a position written by a Project Chief or an owner's agent carries it, anddeciderefuses aseveredecision whose only position on a side is a proxy without the owner's own position (the owner must still be recorded, or be recordedsilent).- The decision file
decisions/<date>-<slug>.mdwritesspeaksForbeside each position so a reader can tell a proxy from the person. project-board.js: the meeting card shows the proxy line.- Tests (
core/test/meetings.test.js): a proxy position counts once; a proxy cannot carry aseveredecision alone; the file names both the writer and whom it speaks for.
Acceptance
TZ=UTC npm run verify green; one real meeting on project-1fe64499 written to flybot-dev/decisions/ with a proxy position and the owner himself silent, then read back through project_state.
Tier
T2 (core/src/host/**) — PASS at the tip plus green tests-ok.

agent-ready. Scope is the body's; no open PR names #1861, no comment claims it, nohold(read 2026-10-30T17:03Z).Brief (implementer can start here):
speaksForidentity field (task rows incore/src/host/project-board.js~L411) but a meeting drops it —readParticipantsmaps to{name, position, silent},position()stores{stance,text,at}, the file's## Participantssection prints name/stance only, anddecisionCardOfprojects no participant identity. So a Project Chief or the owner's agent cannot hold a position for a person throughmeeting, and the record cannot say who spoke for whom.core/src/host/meetings.js: a position (and an invited participant, absent by default) acceptsspeaksFor: <memberId>; it is stored on the participant and carried in the position record;deciderefuses aseveredecision whose only position on a side is a proxy — the spoken-for id must itself be invited and hold its own position or be recordedsilent, refusal viarefuse('governance', …)so it fails before any file is written; the## Participantssection ofdecisions/<date>-<slug>.mdwritesspeaksForbeside that position.core/src/host/project-board.js:decisionCardOfexposes the meeting's participants with theirspeaksFor;core/src/client/project-board.jsmeetingOf/pending row renders it (reuse the existingfor {user}string), thennpm run buildincore/and commitcore/client.js.core/src/host/store.js,core/src/host/project-chief.jsand the Project record'schiefseam — this card touches none of them and does not wait for Project Chief: every Project gets its own Chief, created with the Project #1859 to land;speaksForis a plain string id with no import fromproject-chief.js.
