## Key decisions requiring sign-off before Phase 2
1. **Positioning:** "Systems Developer, 8+ years" — no "senior" self-label; seniority shown via evidence (CONTENT_STRATEGY §1)
2. **IA:** multi-page (home + case studies + about/experience/contact/cv) replacing the one-pager (IA §1)
3. **Bilingual URLs:** EN at root, NO under `/no/` with localised slugs; switch maps page↔page; no auto-redirect (IA §5)
4. **Design direction:** "Kontrollrom" — dark-first, aurora-teal single accent, mono metadata, trace motif (DESIGN_SYSTEM)
5. **InboxIntel framed as `IN DEVELOPMENT`** (honest status) (CONTENT_STRATEGY §4)
6. **CV rework:** ATS-safe single-column variant becomes the download default (CONTENT_STRATEGY §6)
7. **Screenshot capture pass on seeded demo data** = Phase 3 prerequisite (MOCKUPS §13)
