0000001	g1lyj99a…6u5q	270800	Upgrade coordination across a validator set. Every chain upgrade means asking every operator the same few questions — which version are you on, have you applied the migration, when will you restart — and today that lives in a Discord thread or a Google Form, where the chain being upgraded can't see it. We run validators on around 50 networks and do this constantly. Second use: gathering structured input before a GovDAO proposal is written. By the time a proposal is on-chain it's yes/no. There's no on-chain way to ask "should we do this, and what would you change" first.	5	no	Found while building it: a form can't be edited once it has responses, so a typo in a label is permanent; responses are numbered globally, so a form's first response can appear as #0000003; and a select shows a machine-derived label ("Select an A3") because gnoweb builds it from the parameter name and a realm can't override it. Field types are limited to text, textarea, number and select — email and yes/no would be the next two worth adding.	github.com/encapsulate-xyz
