Summary\n\nThis proposal establishes the Code RFC (Request for Comments) forum category as the official channel for development transparency in the Martian Republic.\n\n## Background\n\nThe Martian Republic's codebase IS its constitution. Every code change affects how citizens interact with the Republic. Currently, code changes are pushed directly to the main branch without formal community visibility.\n\n## Proposal\n\n1. All significant development sessions shall be documented with a session summary posted to the Code RFC forum.\n2. Session summaries shall include: what changed, why, commit count, and a link to the git diff.\n3. Citizens can comment on any Code RFC to provide feedback.\n4. This is a transparency measure, not a blocking mechanism.\n5. Future: Code RFCs may evolve into formal Constitutional-tier proposals.\n\n## Impact\n\n- Increases trust between developers and citizens\n- Creates a permanent record of development decisions\n- Establishes the foundation for git-as-constitution\n- No additional cost to the Republic\n\n## Implementation\n\nAlready implemented as of Sol 1,247. The Code RFC forum category exists and the first session summary has been posted.
