Summary

Records 11 decisions extracted from M1 Cagan Package v1.0 artifacts, all confirmed by operator voice ack 2026-05-26. Each decision is hand-modified per operator feedback where operator explicitly diverged from the artifact's draft proposal (D10, D11, D12, D15 are the operator-modified ones; rest are direct extracts).

Closes all 11 remaining M1 close decision proposals. Together with PR #39 (D13 + D14) this completes the decision-recording layer for the entire Cagan Package v1.0.

What changed

Summary table: 11 new rows inserted (D8, D8b, D9, D10, D11, D12, D15, D16, D17, D18, D19). All marked ✅ resolved 2026-05-26. Existing D1-D7, D13-D14 untouched. Diff: +223 lines, 0 deletions.

New decision sections (11 in order):

D#	Title	Source artifact	Closes issue
D8	Vision narrative authoritative through 2029	vision-narrative.md	#2
D8b	Strategic thesis lock through 2029 (Goldratt + Swiss Cheese + Cagan + Steve Blank)	strategic-thesis.md	#13
D9	Competitive landscape stable through 2026-08-15	competitive-analysis.md	#3
D10	JTBD primary functional job = value-first (operator-modified, sharper than "stay above the code")	jtbd-jobs-map.md	#4
D11	Market category locked + multi-platform expansion (operator-modified, not Forgejo-only)	positioning-canvas.md	#5
D12	v0 launch gates: M2 discovery + aggressive auto-merge defaults; legal review DEFERRED to post-V0 (operator-modified, was PRE-V0)	four-risks.md	#6
D15	Discovery cadence opportunistic-with-monthly-batch + mobile-first ADHD rules (operator-modified)	discovery-cadence.md	#8
D16	Product strategy v1.0 locked through M3 (2026-10-15); v2.0 in #35 post-M2	strategy.md	#10
D17	Kill criteria pre-committed + quarterly review only + premortem insight	kill-criteria.md	#11
D18	Pricing locked $7/$9 through 100 paying users milestone	business-model.md	#9
D19	Operating principles v1.0 binding through M3 + external "Specialist LLM Models" reframing	operating-principles.md	#12

Operator modifications (vs artifact drafts)

Four decisions explicitly diverge from their source artifact's proposal per operator voice feedback:

D10 — sharpening: OD4 = "value-first" (not "stay above the code" alone). Value-first is the more general claim; stay-above-the-code is one expression. Operator: "chodzi o to że dostarczamy wartość — jeśli kod to super, jeśli dokumentacja jak teraz to też super."
D11 — multi-platform expansion: positioning NOT Forgejo-only → self-hosters + indie hackers + GitHub + GitLab + anywhere. Tagline shift to "deliver value safely / be unblocked to ship dreams."
D12 — legal review POST-V0 not PRE-V0. Operator: "liability framing — nie przejmowałbym się w tym momencie, to jest takie coś tam." Aggressive auto-merge defaults proceed without legal gate.
D15 — mobile-first ADHD rules (replaces 30-min desktop session max). Install count gates BEFORE interview pressure. Operator dream workflow: "kodować cały dzień, puścić na sracz, kliknąć dwa merge'y."

D-numbering scheme

D1-D7: original (pre-2026-05-25)
D8, D8b: vision + thesis (foundation pair)
D9-D12: artifact-derived (Wave 1-3)
D13-D14: already merged in PR #39 (north-star + OD7)
D15-D19: Wave 4-5 artifact-derived

D8b uses suffix because thesis is conceptual companion to vision (D8) — same artifact-pair. Skipping D8b breaks anchor logic.

What did NOT change

D1-D7 untouched (pre-existing decisions)
D13-D14 untouched (PR #39 already merged)
Source attribution section untouched
No artifact files touched (those go in claude/patchwarden-external-framing and claude/patchwarden-tactical-updates follow-up PRs)

Verification

grep -c "^## D" docs/decisions.md returns 19 (D1-D7, D8, D8b, D9-D19)
Summary table has 20 rows (header + 19 decisions)
No edits outside docs/decisions.md
D10/D11/D12/D15 are operator-modified (not direct artifact extracts) — see "Operator modifications" section
Each new decision references the source artifact + the issue it closes

Follow-up PRs (planned for cross-doc updates)

claude/patchwarden-external-framing — vision-narrative.md + positioning-canvas.md + operating-principles.md changes (hotel-concierge metaphor + tagline shift + multi-platform + "Specialist LLM Models" external framing)
claude/patchwarden-tactical-updates — jtbd + kpi-tree + discovery-cadence + business-model + kill-criteria + strategic-thesis tactical operator-voice modifications

After all 3 PRs merged: close epic #1 with operator-affirmed clarity test = "deliver value safely + be unblocked to ship dreams".
