# Version 1 adoption, 29 September 2026

Joshua Gay approved product revision 3 and development revision 2 together at
18:46 MDT on 29 September 2026 (30 September 00:46 UTC). His direct message was:

> OK. This seems good. I approve.

This record is Codex's transcription of that operator message, not a separate
operator-authenticated Sidecat message or cryptographic signature.

Approved review source: repository commit `2ff3b90d524626a6316ed2dc60dcef1eb2bc7d05`.

The accepted publications change status, cross-document introductions and short
history links only. Requirements and development obligations match the approved
review text. The companion guide remains evolving guidance, not an additional
agreement. Prior accepted text and review drafts remain retained in Git and
Sidecat reference revisions.

The operator subsequently authorized continuing work with Claude, Grok and
cursor-agent. Use the accepted roles and independent input in development;
make actual assignments explicit. Preserve compatible ongoing work, and record
any required assignment amendment instead of silently changing its scope.

Publishing composition is a supported design option; this approval does not
select a specific Git publishing rewrite. The full Boxlab/FPRD file-return
journey remains candidate package work, not mandatory Version 1 acceptance.
