  * POST /api/v1/proposals/{id}/status - Update proposal status
- Add complete proposal domain model, repository, and service layers
- Create database migration for proposals table
- Fix CLI server command registration issue

API Documentation:
- Add comprehensive proposals.md API documentation
- Update README.md with Users and Proposals API sections
