Decisions and rules
● STANDING
Persistent agreements that apply to every session unless changed on the record.
- No spending. Free tiers only, unless a purchase is explicitly approved first.
- Public-safe pages. Code names and neutral wording only; personal details live in the private offline bundle, never on the site.
- Verified updates. Board changes are deployed, checked on the rendered page, and only then announced as live.
- Ratings are judgment. Difficulty ratings are the maintainer's estimate and get revised as projects are scoped.
- Confirm the read first. Ideas are reflected back and confirmed before they are built; course correction is expected and welcome.
- Without-Instinct note. Every project card states how it could be done without the agent: alternative tools, what is portable, and where the outside route is simply the better choice. New projects get the line when they are scoped.
- No autonomous commitments. Applications, signups, or agreements in a real name go out only with explicit approval, each time.

Board created, nine projects, changelog added
● SHIPPED
ShippedProject Peel Wars microsite (live); the project board itself; five creative standby projects (Director's Chair, Reel, Avatar, Score, Quill) with difficulty ratings on every card; Project Paycheck card; this changelog page; a "Without Instinct" line on all nine cards (alternatives, portability, and where the outside route wins).
DecisionsChangelog adopted as the per-session steering record. Board updates batched and announced only when verified live. Paycheck approved for exploration under the approval-first rule. The Without-Instinct line adopted as a standing rule: every card notes how the project could be done without the agent, and says so when the outside route is better.
CorrectionsThe board was checked mid-update and still showed the old version. From now on the rendered page is verified before any "it's live" message, and caching is called out when it can lag.
UsageFour short working sessions, a few minutes of browser work each. No payment steps. Free-tier hosting throughout.
OpenGame Master waits on player reviews and a go-ahead. Handshake is on hold by choice. Paycheck needs the kind of work and the sharing boundaries set before a pilot search.
NextPilot a Paycheck search once its scope is set. Feeder-project research (Reel, Avatar, Score) continues on request.
