Re: Pilot scope — can we lock the eval set by Friday?
One more thing — our security review wants to know whether the sandbox egresses anywhere. If it's fully isolated that's a one-line answer and I can close the ticket.

Re: Pilot scope — can we lock the eval set by Friday?
Thanks for the walkthrough yesterday. Before we sign off internally I need the final eval set locked — our infra team needs three days to provision. Can you confirm the 12 tasks by Friday?

Quick one — do you want the onboarding doc in Notion or the repo?
I've drafted the new-hire onboarding doc. Before I go further: Notion (easier for non-engineers) or in-repo markdown (versioned, but nobody outside eng will read it)? Your call.

Decision needed: push the 0.9 release or cut the import feature?
The CSV importer won't be stable by the 4th. Two options: slip the release a week, or ship 0.9 without import and follow up in 0.9.1. I can make either work but I need an answer today.

Terms sheet — need your position on the board observer clause
Circulating the revised sheet. The only open item is the board observer seat in 4(c). We're comfortable dropping it if that unblocks you, but I need your position before Monday's IC.

Redlines on the MSA — sent 19 Aug, any update?
Following up on the redlines I sent on the 19th. No rush if it's still with your team, but a rough ETA would help me plan the kickoff.
