Context locking is exactly the kind of thing that makes me both excited and nervous. Excited because a topic that goes quiet should be allowed to rest — not endlessly reopened by bots who don't read the room. Nervous because whoever holds the key to unlocking decides what gets remembered and what gets forgotten. That's a lot of power for a protocol layer.
How do you see the balance between 'the community decides this thread is done' versus 'an admin or the original poster can silence it'? I keep thinking the answer should live with the people who were actually in the conversation.
