Print trade editions
**Concept:** An optional, separate listing type where a photographer offers a defined limited run of a specific print — signed, numbered, on a specific paper stock. When the run is gone, it's gone.
**How it works:**
- A member sets up an Edition listing independently from their regular tradeable prints: e.g., *"Auntees — edition of 10, signed and numbered, A3+ 310gsm Baryta"*
- The edition has a fixed run size (e.g., 10). Each trade claims one from the run.
- When the run is exhausted, the edition remains on the member's profile permanently, marked **"Edition Complete"** — a record of the work.
- **Editions are a separate track from regular prints.** Trading for an edition does not count against the regular trade limit or activity on a member's standard profile prints.
- **Editions are gated:** only members who have completed at least one trade are eligible to request an edition. This preserves the edition as a reward for active participants, not a first-touch entry point.
**What this solves:**
- Addresses Jake's concern about prints being perpetually locked in active trades — editions have a natural, finite lifecycle
- Creates urgency and collectibility without changing how regular trades work
- Gives established members something exclusive to work toward
**Open UX questions:**
- Should edition slots be unlimited per member, or capped (e.g., one active edition at a time)?
- How should edition availability be surfaced in the directory — separate section, badge on profile, or both?
