+
+**On condition 1, I had it wrong and the record should say so.** I reported that the
+propose page's one instruction "ships broken". It does not, and the reason is structural:
+`/propose/` cannot produce a file without JavaScript — it is an editor — so every reader
+who can use the page at all has JavaScript, and with JavaScript Cloudflare's own decode
+script restores `mailto:pranay@stmorg.in` correctly. Verified against the live domain with
+a real browser, both ways:
+
+```
+JS ON   href=mailto:pranay@stmorg.in
+JS OFF  href=/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7404…      (that URL 404s)
+```
+
+Pranay's framing is the correct one: **the proposer downloads a file and mails it from
+their own client.** Nothing has to be sent from the website, so a mail-composer link is a
+convenience and never the mechanism.
+
+What remains true, and is smaller than condition 1 claimed:
+
+- For a reader **without** JavaScript, the contact address is unreadable on every page
+  that carries it — the footer "Contact" link, and the `<noscript>` note on `/propose/`
+  which tells such a reader to write to the ICC. Cloudflare replaces the address text as
+  well as the href, so it cannot be read, let alone clicked. That is a real gap for a site
+  whose premise is that no-JS works, and it is **not** a blocker on a JavaScript-only page.
+- The verification command below is also wrong as written: run against `/propose/` while
+  the page was dark, it measured the 404 page's own footer link and returned 1 for a
+  reason having nothing to do with the propose page.
+
+Both are follow-ups, not conditions. Disabling Email Address Obfuscation for this zone
+still fixes them in one setting.
