A declined bid is no longer named to rival experts

Every expert bidding on a lead can open that lead and read its timeline. When a bid was declined, that timeline named it — so the experts who were still competing for the work learned which of their rivals had just lost, and under what title.

It no longer does. A declined bid now shows on the shared timeline as “A bid was declined”.

What each person sees:

• Experts — your own bid is still named to you, with its outcome, on your bid page. Another expert’s bid never is.
• The people who review the bids — the lead workspace still names the declined bid for you. You already see every bid on the lead, so nothing has been taken away.
• Customers — your project record shows that a bid was declined, without naming it. Which experts competed, and under what name, was never part of what that record was for.

This applies to bids declined from today onwards and to every bid declined before it — nothing in the history was rewritten, but nobody is shown a name they are not entitled to.
