+23. **Queue A1 review rulings.** Filbert asked for changes (review
+    6933b885): all five conditions met, three small fixes R1 to R3. He left
+    two questions for Sage.
+    - The review issue: sorted issues make "the first issue" the lowest
+      number, so a row for #1508 that also lists #1495 would post reviews
+      on #1495. That is not the intent. `move in-review` refuses a row with
+      no issues. A row with one issue uses it. A row with several needs
+      `--issue <n>`, which must be one of the row's issues. Later rounds
+      keep the previous round's issue unless `--issue` names another. That
+      also fixes R2.
+    - `set piece` and `set gate` are privileged only. 8.7's field table
+      didn't list them, and the reason for the default is that piece and
+      gate change what a row is, not how far along it is.
+    Filbert's N13 (the nested `node --test` in `test-foundation.sh` and
+    `test-discord.sh`) is added to the DEFERRED entry. It goes to Darkwing
+    as a small reviewed item after the A1 delta, before A2.
