+## Launch prompt
+
+```
+Build gitea-forge-backups SLICE-2 — scheduled gitea dump every 4 hours (operator override of the spec's 8h) on the VM uploading to gs://wiggleverse-gitea-backups (pure-create upload path, not gsutil cp), per specs/gitea-forge-backups.md §7.2 (engineering#30).
+
+```
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
+liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
+finalize. Empty if none._
