 4. A Discord-originated commit **without** the mapped trailers is incomplete — fix it (amend if not pushed, or a follow-up commit is not enough for GitHub multi-author on already-pushed SHAs; amend/rebase when safe).
 
 GitHub multi-author avatars (`bot & human`) come from commit trailers, not from PR body prose alone.
+If you list co-authors in the PR body, use **profile links that look like mentions**, not bare `@login` tokens (bare `@login` notifies people):

+```md
+- [@MindfulLearner](https://github.com/MindfulLearner)
+- [@patroza](https://github.com/patroza)

+
+Trailers remain mandatory for credit; the optional body list is display-only.
 
 ## Discord-originated pull requests (REQUIRED)
 
 When Discord work produces commits (or is clearly intended to land):
 
-0. **Always open a PR — do not wait for perfect green.** Create the PR as soon as there is something to review or track. If full lint / typecheck / focused tests / `vp check` are not finished yet, open it as a **draft**. Convert to ready for review only after those gates. A missing PR while work sits only on a remote branch is incomplete handoff.
+0. **Always open a PR — do not wait for perfect green.** Create the PR as soon as there is something to review or track. If full lint / typecheck / focused tests / `vp check` are not finished yet, open it as a **draft**. **A draft is not done:** after local gates (preferably right after focused tests + `vp check` / package typecheck), you **must** convert it to ready for review (or merge path). Leaving a draft abandoned after the work is finished is incomplete handoff. A missing PR while work sits only on a remote branch is also incomplete.
 
 When opening or updating a PR from a Discord thread:
 
-1. **Discord footer (required in the PR description).** Append this exact footer form at the end of the PR body (use the **thread starter** when known, otherwise the current requester, and that thread’s real jump link):
+1. **Discord footer (required in the PR description).** Append this form at the end of the PR body (use the **thread starter** when known, otherwise the current requester). Prefer the **ready-to-paste footer** from Discord turn context when present.

+opened by [<displayName>](https://discord.com/users/<discord_user_id>) in chat thread **Discord** · [Thread Title](https://discord.com/channels/<guild_id>/<channel_or_thread_id>/<message_id>)
 ```
 
-Prefer the thread starter’s Discord id/display name from turn context. Do not skip this because the bot _might_ patch the body later — still write it when you create the PR so the first revision is correct. The bot may also hard-append the footer when a PR URL is linked; that is a safety net, not a reason to omit it.
+Rules:
+
+- **User link** must be `https://discord.com/users/<snowflake>` (Discord profile). Never use a bare snowflake as the URL (it goes nowhere).
+- **Thread link** must be a full `https://discord.com/channels/<guild>/<channel_or_thread>/<message>` URL. Never emit truncated placeholders like `https://discord.com/channels` or empty channel segments.
+- Prefer the thread starter’s display name from turn context. Do not skip the footer because the bot _might_ patch the body later — still write it when you create the PR so the first revision is correct. The bot may also hard-append the footer when a PR URL is linked; that is a safety net, not a reason to omit it.
 
 2. If Discord turn context lists **Linked work items** / Jira issues for the thread, include those Jira issue links in the PR description (and prefer the primary key in the title/branch when one is clear).
 
-3. Prefer opening the PR only after commits already include the Identity map `Co-authored-by` trailers (see above).
+3. Prefer opening the PR only after commits already include the Identity map `Co-authored-by` trailers (see above). Optional PR-body co-author list: profile links only (`[@login](https://github.com/login)`), never bare `@login`.
