What Went Well

User-Driven Naming

Joey provided every shortcode name. The initial AI-generated names (BLIND, EYES, LEAD, BA, etc.) were replaced with Joey's picks (DONT TELL, TELL ALL, SHE LEADS, UP2HIM, etc.). His names are better — more direct, more self-evident. The "call it what it is" philosophy produced the strongest result: CASUAL SEX instead of ST.

Zero Collisions

22 unique codes across four independent dimensions. No overlap. TRUTH, #1, MANY, WAIT, BASIC are used in Understanding on both sides. FIXED, GUIDED, AUTOPILOT are Daily Life only. Her Ask and His Declaration have completely distinct vocabularies.

Cloudflare Deploy Working

Wrangler auth was fixed last session. Deploy ran clean — 86 files, 3 new, 83 cached. Site is live at bahalaka.com.

Context Recovery

Session continued from a compacted conversation. Picked up exactly where it left off — combo table, mismatch text, version bump, release note. No rework, no confusion.

What Could Be Better

Estimate Phase Skipped

The ~GO chain is ~P ~E /~B ~T/ ~S ~R. The ~E (estimate) phase was skipped because this was a single focused change — no board items needed. For larger work, don't skip it.

Tool Failures

None. All tools executed cleanly.
