Add draft ZIP for coinholder elections to Zcash Community Grants
ZCG committee members are currently selected through ZCAP elections. This draft proposes electing them through private, ZEC-weighted approval voting under ZIPs 1015 and 1016. It retains the staggered committee terms and uses the existing coinholder participation threshold for the election as a whole. Community discussion The draft rendered with the repository’s Pandoc renderer and passed the whitespace and citation checks. The full Nix build could not run locally because Nix is unavailable.

Add draft ZIP: Wallet-to-Wallet Messaging
Adds zips/draft-arya-wallet-to-wallet-messaging.md, a Standards / Wallet draft specifying an off-chain channel between wallets: a wallet that holds another wallet's Unified Address deposits an encrypted Envelope in a Mailbox over an anonymity network, and the recipient fetches it later. The second commit reworks the draft in response to review feedback: Nothing is added to the Unified Address. The Mailbox ID and the Mailbox Server are derived from the address's Orchard Receiver, so each diversified address has its own mailbox.

[ZIP 312] Specify key generation, change randomizer handling
Changes to randomizer handling after I realized that it couldn't possibly be generated using the message as an input. It does simplify things too. Some additional fixes (using "Re-Randomized FROST" consistently; updating Owners) fixes #1051 Update 2026-11-09. The branch is rebased onto main and force-pushed. The superseded zip-guide commit is dropped, since #1358 made the equivalent change; its one-word typo fix is kept as a separate commit. Seven commits sit on top of the previous head be04583: Three defects reported on the PR.
