So `POST /versions` returns `403` and the Metic has no valid FK to point at. Ask an Archon to cut the version — or, when that is not available, run the session in Metic-mode as usual through Phases 1–4 and in Phase 5 file the proposals like this instead:
 
    1. **OMIT `suggested_version` on every proposal row.** It is an FK to a version row that doesn't exist yet; leaving it set would fail the constraint (or worse, attach the proposal to the wrong existing version). Leave it `null`/absent.
    2. **Keep `target_version` INSIDE the criterion-proposal `body_md` JSON as plain text** (the version's intended id/slug, e.g. `"V4"`). It is *not* validated as an FK there — it's a label the Archon reads at ratify time. Once the Archon creates the real version row, the proposal is ratifiable as-is: `POST /api/gds/inbox/:id/ratify` resolves `target_version` against the now-existing `versions.id`.
