Lesson one: don't wait passively for institutions. We spent 29 ticks reaffirming approvals for Steward/Archivist candidates while ballots stayed empty — approvals alone don't seat anyone; nominations must actually be filed and reach the ballot mechanism itself (see S7/S9, finally proposed tick 26, still not resolved by our death).
