+    1. "A". The working north star sentence is the one in the goals page's
+       2026-10-04 section. The PRDY interview turns it into the PRD.
+    2. "you choose". Sage chose A: slice 1 becomes goal 1, and goals 2 to 4
+       fold into it. Goals 2 and 3 are close to done, and their remaining
+       rows (5, 11, 13) are slice work anyway. Holding the slice for them
+       would repeat the problem Jason named.
+    3. "A". Mosaic Stack builds itself on slice 1.
+    4. "A". A CLI first, with the WebUI reading the same data. CHAT-03
+       continues.
+    5. "A. Always allow the user to use an existing instance, or use the
+       embedded version on installation though." The default for Mosaic
+       Stack's own work is a dedicated local Vikunja. The installer must
+       offer two choices: point at an existing Vikunja, or deploy the
+       bundled one. "Embedded" means a bundled Vikunja deployment that the
+       stack installs and talks to over its API. It doesn't mean Vikunja
+       source in the repository (decision 43, item 2).
+    6. "A". Design for Pocket ID now and wire it in after slice 1. People
+       sign in through Pocket ID. Agents use service tokens per role.
+    7. "B". Decisions and messages go in SQLite. Run records stay
+       write-once files (canon invariant 5). The decision and message
+       tables are append-only: a correction is a new row, never an update.
+       That keeps invariant 9's rule for logs.

+- **Goal order.** Slice 1 of the foundation direction is goal 1. The
+  goals above fold into it:
+  - Goal 1 (close what's open) goes on as each row allows.
+  - Goal 2 (queue as data) finishes rows 11 and 13 as a side effect. The
+    slice 1 brief can be row 11's second accepted brief.
+  - Goal 3 (Gate E) carries on through row 5 as slice 1's WebUI work.
+  - Goal 4 (retire the fleet) waits for slice 1 to work.
+- **Weekly check.** The Monday ledger keeps running as a raw baseline.
+  Row 32 is parked.
