+## Launch prompt
+
+> Flesh out backlog item #3 of the maker platform strategy into a full §11
+> Legal & Compliance section. (doc: docs/maker-platform-strategy.md) — promote
+> §10 backlog #3 → "§11. Legal & compliance," consolidating scattered legal
+> points in the doc's voice; through-line = the out-of-money-flow stance IS the
+> legal strategy. Cover MTL, marketplace-facilitator sales tax (centerpiece),
+> Connect-config-as-posture (cross-ref §7), raffle/lottery, FTC/consumer
+> protection, privacy, FTO/patent, novelty finding (restore), entity/UBIT.
+> Convention "flag and verify — not legal advice"; OHM-grounded. Then renumber
+> backlog §10 → §12, reserve §10 for the Trust & Safety write-up, set §11 =
+> Legal, fix stale §7 cross-refs.
+
+## Plan
+
+> Anchor: none (strategy-memo edit; not roadmap/spec-anchored). Routed as a
+> tracked **brainstorming** session at the operator's instruction even though
+> the deliverable is a `docs/` memo edit, not a `specs/` Solution Design — so
+> the brainstorming artifact guard resolves to "no spec, confirmed intentional."
+
+Intent: graduate two operational gaps of `docs/maker-platform-strategy.md` from
+the §10 backlog into full body sections, in the memo's voice, OHM-grounded.
+
+## Session arc
+
+1. **Session gate.** Classified the docs-authoring task; it didn't map cleanly to
+   the five types. Asked the operator → **Brainstorming (tracked)**. Invoked
+   `wgl-brainstorming`; claimed **session 0037** (`--type brainstorming`, careful
+   posture). A stale 4-day `--INPROGRESS` (0027) was noted; already in an isolated
+   worktree, so no concurrency hazard.
+
+2. **§11 Legal & compliance (written).** Read the full memo. Wrote §11 with the
+   through-line *the out-of-money-flow stance IS the legal strategy* (one
+   architectural choice → no MTL, no marketplace-facilitator duty, no MoR), the
+   "flag and verify — not legal advice" convention, and OHM grounding. Subsections:
+   MTL recap; marketplace-facilitator sales tax (two-part conjunctive test;
+   referral handoff fails prong 2 via the advertising-only exclusion; the fragile
+   "indirectly collects" edge; Phase-3 / split-payment-kit / Connect danger zones;
+   tax-calc belongs to the storefront); Connect-config-as-posture (cross-ref §7);
+   raffle/lottery (engineer out *consideration*); FTC (affiliate disclosure, 30-day
+   pre-order rule, handmade substantiation); privacy + DPAs; FTO/patent;
+   restored novelty finding; entity/UBIT.
+
+3. **Worktree-edit guard.** First Edit hit the canonical checkout; re-issued all
+   edits against the worktree path. Confirmed worktree == canonical content first.
+
+4. **Structure + cross-refs.** Inserted §10 (initially a *reserved stub*) + §11
+   before the backlog; renumbered backlog §10 → §12 (item numbers held stable);
+   #3 → §11 pointer, #1 → §10 pointer; fixed stale §7 / top-of-file refs.
+
+5. **§10 scope decision.** Asked whether §10 should stay a reserved stub or be
+   fleshed out now → operator chose **flesh out now**. Wrote the full §10 (Trust &
+   safety & maker accountability): originating edge; reputation flows up the edge
+   (decayed, hop-capped); consequence = loss of standing not expulsion; authority &
+   appeal; and a "Still open" subsection gathering the OHM-guided reputation engine
+   + revocation/dispute/collusion frameworks. Reduced backlog #1 to a pointer;
+   re-pointed refs.
+
+6. **Backlog cleanup (operator-requested).** Removed completed items (#1→§10,
+   #3→§11), renumbered to six.
+
+7. **Finalize begun.** brainstorming/careful. Artifact guard → operator confirmed
+   no spec (docs edit only). Merge path → Gitea PR. Created + merged
+   **PR #5**; branch deleted.
+
+8. **Operator interrupt mid-finalize.** New asks: (a) drop MVP-scope/roadmap &
+   data-model from the backlog — "strategic memo, not a roadmap/rollout doc"; (b) a
+   next-session prompt for sustainability economics & health metrics. Made the edit
+   on a follow-up branch (backlog → 4 items, recorded the scope exclusion, fixed
+   refs); created + merged **PR #6**; branch deleted.
+
+9. **Finalize completed.** Memory written (new project memory dir + note + index);
+   deferred decisions none; backlog is the in-doc queue (nothing parked as issues);
+   next-`/goal` = sustainability economics; worktree left intact (ambient launch
+   env, not session-created); transcript published.
+
+## What landed on `main`
+
+- **PR #5** — new §10 (Trust & safety & maker accountability) + §11 (Legal &
+  compliance), backlog renumbered §10 → §12, cross-refs fixed.
+- **PR #6** — §12 backlog trimmed to 4 items (demand, sustainability/metrics,
+  governance, hybrid-makers standard); MVP scope / build roadmap / data-model
+  dropped as out-of-scope for a strategic memo; refs re-pointed.
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_None — no autonomous low-confidence calls. The two judgment forks (§10 stub vs.
+flesh-out; merge path) were both put to the operator via AskUserQuestion._
+
+## Next /goal
+
+```
+Flesh out backlog item #2 of the maker platform strategy — sustainability
+economics & health metrics — into a full section of
+docs/maker-platform-strategy.md, in the doc's voice (strategic memo, not a
+rollout doc; OHM-grounded per the top-of-file note). Cover unit economics
+(referral take + subscription vs. network-service + verification + hosting at
+N makers / X GMV; break-even), non-profit-≠-needn't-cover-costs (tie to §7 and
+the §11 UBIT flag), network-health/liquidity metrics (North Star + % GMV
+cross-maker-referred, follower growth, drop sell-through, repeat-buyer rate;
+tie to §9 gates and the §7 cross-merchant order-history asset), and
+volunteer-sustainability economics (keep the critical core off bus-factor-one).
+```
+
+Other live open thread: §10's OHM-guided reputation engine.
