Q-015 — all fourteen decisions ruled and applied

The batch is closed. Decisions 1–2 were ruled individually on 2026-08-30; decisions 3 and 4 the same morning; the maintainer then directed "go with all the recommended steps" for the remainder, and every recommendation was applied with its own commit. docs/QUESTIONS.md carries each ruling in place; dispositions.md, parity-coverage.md and not-carried.md carry the consequences. The dispositions summary now reads zero NEEDS-DECISION in every column.

# Unit Ruling Where it landed
1 Mail client Detect → respect → offer (Thunderbird recommended), never silent packet profile suggestion group
2 Serial terminal Same mechanism, PuTTY recommended; Termius/MobaXterm named, not offered workstation profile suggestion group
3 libhamlib4 Dependency, not a unit — SUPERSEDE by apt depends superseded-by-our-own-engine table
4 jtdx Carry as-is, no deprecation on vibes full CARRY
5 wine Out of the 1.0 core; VARA's configured prefix returns post-1.0 as a dependency RETIRE with reason
6 FT8-family default wsjtx recorded in the wsjtx manifest's docs
7 rf_exposure_calc + solar_data Retire the bookmarks; URLs live once as prose docs/guides/propagation.md
8 country_files (cty.dat) Post-1.0 — the first data-asset-with-cadence deserves a schema shape CARRY, outstanding with reason
9 xwefax vs fldigi Carry both; no supersede on a spec comparison full CARRY (manifest already confirmed)
10 FoxTelem Post-1.0 pending an AMSAT constellation census CARRY, outstanding with reason
11 M0IAX Not carried; post-1.0 candidate on first demand RETIRE with reason
12 PATMENU3 pat http ships the interface the wrapper fronts RETIRE; packet profile documents the web UI
13 REPEAT Out of 1.0 scope, not out of favour; post-1.0 on demand RETIRE with reason
14 supersdr (bookkeeping) Q-007's Friday resolution reflected in the index ADD, confirmed 3-for-3
