…d checks restored Three weeks since v1.8.0: setup-postfix-relay.sh and a companion Ansible role automate the sender-rewrite step that was causing real "not owned by user" rejections; zerosmtp-check --explain no longer matches an enhanced code against a contradicting reply code; main's required status checks are restored to all 29 real gates instead of the 11 example-language linters that were silently the only ones enforced for ten days.
New contributors opening a PR from a fork now hit a red board-review check unconditionally, added 2026-09-01. CONTRIBUTING.md never mentioned it, so the check message points to an internal agent doc a human contributor cannot act on. #416 already needed a maintainer to add the BOARD:/EVIDENCE lines by hand for exactly this reason.

data/devices.jsonentries this funnel exists for.PR process would see a red
board-reviewcheck and an error messagepointing at

BOARD:/EVIDENCE:lines by hand after the fact,quoted in the PR body as "Added by the maintainers on merge."
Change
Seven lines added to the "Pull request process" section of CONTRIBUTING.md,
telling a contributor plainly that the red check is expected, is not
something they need to fix, and has no bearing on whether the change is
wanted.
Verification
git diff CONTRIBUTING.md— single, contiguous insertion, nothing elsetouched.
