Summary

Adds a complete Wind-Down section to docs.powerloom.io covering the orderly shutdown of the Powerloom network, plus a site-wide announcement bar.

Documentation is written for the final state: dashboard, claims, unstaking, node burns, bridge, and Powerloom chain are all shut down. POWER on Ethereum remains; assets left on the Powerloom chain are unrecoverable.

  • New /wind-down section (12 files) with timeline, per-service status, operator checklists, and FAQ
  • Site-wide announcement bar: wind-down is complete → /wind-down/timeline
  • Consistent status emoji convention across wind-down pages
  • Explicit no-recovery policy for missed July 16 and July 21 deadlines

File Change

Key Policy Decisions Documented

  • July 16: mint.powerloom.network was the only path for claims, unstaking, and node burns. No direct contract fallback.
  • July 21: Bridge was the only path off the Powerloom chain. Assets not bridged before shutdown are unrecoverable.
  • POWER on Ethereum (0x429F0d8233e517f9acf6F0C8293BF35804063a83) continues to exist independently.
  • Docs site remains online for reference; GitHub repos are public and archived.
