+## Launch prompt
+
+```
+Do the gitea VM service-account scope maintenance window (stop → set-service-account --scopes=cloud-platform → start, per infra/deploy-gitea-on-gcp.md Backups box) — unblocks gitea-forge-backups SLICE-1 (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._
