What happened

What is off

  1. Starting-message table was noise. 49 of 60 rows were single runs. Fixed (E30).
  2. CLAUDE.md is still the top friction file (141 reports). The newest ones say the product checklist does not say which subset applies to a research-only PR. Proposal in the backlog is already P017 (path-scoped instructions); not repeated here.
  3. Ventures mix: recent ventures PRs are mostly page additions and features on existing calculators (league-schedule-generator, shift-roster, review-reply-desk), which matches the owner's "SEO and usage first" direction better than new single-page calculators.

Proposals for the owner

None new.
