+# Wave Board (first program)
+
+A curated, single-cycle subset of the backlog for the first Drips Wave, chosen
+from issues marked `status/ready`. Every issue here is **independent**,
+**completable in one cycle**, and **representative** of the project. It is
+deliberately a small subset of the full backlog, with a bounded points budget.
+
+Point values are assigned in the Drips Wave maintainer dashboard (Trivial 100 /
+Medium 150 / High 200). The labels here are the honest pre-estimate.
+
+## Budget
+
+| Complexity | Issues | Points each | Subtotal |
+| ---------- | -----: | ----------: | -------: |
+| Trivial | 6 | 100 | 600 |
+| Medium | 10 | 150 | 1,500 |
+| High | 4 | 200 | 800 |
+| **Total** | **20** | | **2,900** |

+## Notes
+
+- No issue in this set depends on another; each can be merged independently.
+- All issues are `status/ready`. Issues marked `status/blocked` are intentionally
+  excluded until their dependency lands.
+- Contributors must request assignment before starting; see [`WAVE.md`](WAVE.md).
+- After repository approval, add these issues to the Program. Apply the
+  `Stellar Wave` label or select them in the **Maintainers → Issues** dashboard.
+- Keep the budget bounded; do not add every open issue to a single Wave.
