+`tasks.blocked_on` is `String(200)`, but `TaskCreate`/`TaskUpdate` accepted any
+length, so a longer value failed in Postgres and returned HTTP 500 (hit by Repo
+Manager's C-41 sync of RMGR-WP-0019-T03). The schemas now cap it at 200 and
+return a 422 that names the field; long text belongs in `blocking_reason`
+(Text). Live after the next State Hub deploy.

+C-32 sent a file's `decision_type` verbatim; repo-manager's RMGR-DEC-2026-004
+says `approved`, which the hub rejects with a 422, so that decision was never
+indexed. `normalise_decision_type` maps resolved records and decided synonyms
+to `made`, and everything else to `pending`.
