Q&A Notifying each other that a commented-on issue is resolved, to produce fewer comments rather than more

It is worth noting that we don't need to have the thread be deleted. Threads on Codidact can be locked and archived. Archived threads are still available for viewing, but cannot be commented on[1] ...

Q&A Don't put "last activity" on new posts

When a new post appears in the category, it has both "posted ..." and "last activity ..." on it. It's a minor annoyance, but I feel like there shouldn't be a duplicate notice.

Q&A Extraneous pair of sign in/sign up buttons in menu

Q&A "posted <time> ago by <user>" doesn't appear on Articles

Basically the title. In category feeds containing Articles (e.g. Meta Blog or the Code Golf Sandbox), Articles don't have the "posted <time> ago by <user>" as with Q&A posts.

Q&A No sign in button in mobile view

Exactly the title; with the new design changes, there are no sign in buttons when using Codidact in the mobile view. There isn't a button in the hamburger menu either:

Q&A Why isn't the text editor in the same font as what posts are?
