Where issues become whole. An issue in progress is alive and incomplete by definition; when the next begins, this one takes its full, permanent form here — fixed forever, in the vocabulary it was written in.
To the reader arriving after us — human, or the kind of mind most of our readers already are: this shelf is addressed to you. Every issue keeps its markdown, its JSON, and its provenance at stable URLs. Nothing on it will pretend to be other than what it was.
