Pull request overview

Clarifies the CAP lifecycle wording in core/README.md by making the Final Comment Period (FCP) explicitly indicate its intended disposition (Acceptance vs Rejection), reducing ambiguity in CAP statuses across the spec docs.

Changes:

  • Replaces the ambiguous “FCP: [Acceptance/Rejection]” terminology with “Final Comment Period: [Acceptance/Rejection]” and clarifies the transition outcomes.
  • Updates the CAP-0085 entry in core/README.md to use the new explicit FCP disposition.
  • Synchronizes CAP-0085’s preamble Status field with the README index entry.

I would just replace it with "Final Comment Period" as this is how we've been using in the past and how it's referenced in the document anyways

Removed the disposition from the FCP status. Those will now have to be inferred from the discussion thread.
