# Phase 0 Gate — Agent Decision Session

**Purpose:** One-page gate for Cursor agents before product code.  
**Authority:** [DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md) (Dani Roxberry, September 7, 2026).  
**Status:** **Gate closed for implementation** — proceed to [Phase 2 kickoff](PHASE2-KICKOFF.md).

Do not re-decide rows marked **Closed**. Human-only rows stay blocked until Dani completes the listed task.

## Human-Only (Do Not Invent)

| Item | Task | Agent action |
|---|---|---|
| Production VPS + R2 + TLS | AV-T21 | Use Docker Compose + untracked `.env` locally |
| Stripe Price IDs | AV-T20 | **Done** — test prices in `.env.example`; smoke `scripts/stripe-checkout-smoke.sh` ([VALIDATION.md](VALIDATION.md#av-t20-stripe-test-prices-and-checkout-september-7-2026)) |
| Counsel sign-off | AV-T22 | Use draft policies in `docs/legal/`; no compliance claims |
| DNS import | AV-T34–T38 | No production DNS changes |
| Mailboxes live | AV-T43 | Document Resend + iCloud; do not send production mail |

## Phase 0 Plan Checkboxes

All Phase 0 items in [PLAN.md](PLAN.md#phase-0--establish-the-baseline-and-resolve-release-inputs) are checked with pointers to **D-*** rows above. Agents **must not** block Phase 2 on re-interviewing Phase 0 unless Dani explicitly revises [DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md).
