### (a) Open questions Planner is holding for itself (cross-session continuity) - D2 graduation timing: Brain's revised lock said ONE manual cycle then assess. After this file lands, assess + decide if cycle 2 fires as produce-*.md or needs another manual cycle. - Planner-state file versioning convention: if shape needs refinement, is v2 a new file (`2026-05-23_2030_planner-state.md`) or version-suffixed (`2026-05-23_2000_planner-state_v2.md`)? Brain's planner-state README probably specifies; needs verification. - D4 prefix-conditional auto-load implementation: requires SessionStart hook logic; not yet built. Substrate decision for Brain on which prefixes trigger auto-load vs which don't. - Whether Planner should mirror key memory entries to Brain-side memory for substrate continuity across instances (raised in 1859 handoff; not yet decided). - Whether OP#6 codification fires before or after Drew Setup Tuesday — both are queued but Tuesday is calendar-fixed; OP#6 is flexible. ### (b) Open questions to Brian held in this session (was session-bound; now substrate-persisted) - Confirm Saturday gate iPad Voice Memos E2E test status — pending per Brian Sunday queue acknowledgment - Decision on Drew's starter CLAUDE.md draft cadence — Brain originates, when fires (this week) - Decision on Drew recording outline — re-fire as react-to-* OR Brain reads draft directly during /remote-control session - Voice-mode-to-Brain research scope — when does this fire as research item - /remote-c
- **Saturday gate iPad Voice Memos E2E test** — status: pending per Brian's Sunday queue. Last-verified: never. Blocks From Drew watcher pipeline pre-Tuesday. - **From Drew/ subfolder** — status: confirmed exists empty per Brain check Fri 2026-05-22 23:41 (during /remote-control session). No current content. Brain has direct visibility going forward. - **Drew's iPad device usage** — assumed primary work-recording device per Drew Setup Tuesday plan. Not directly verified with Drew himself. - **Drew's JobTread / iCloud sharing setup** — not verified beyond "Projects shared folder exists." Specific permissions/access not re-checked. - **Brian's iMac sleep settings** — unknown. Relevant for /remote-control persistence assumptions per unified-entity synthesis §6 path-2 analysis. - **Chief V1-final brief content** — referenced multiple times today; Planner has not personally re-read in this se
