+
+## D16-001: Uphold Phase 15 no-go recommendation
+
+- Decision: Rejected for launch
+- Date: 2026-06-25
+- Reason: 1 Critical and 21 High cumulative issues remain unresolved, with missing executable, human, business, legal, and production evidence.
+
+## D16-002: Preserve all optional production integrations as disabled
+
+- Decision: Approved with documented conditions
+- Condition: Demo submission, CRM, scheduler, analytics, marketing consent, product tour, pricing destination, and login destination remain disabled until their explicit gates are approved.
+
+## D16-003: Do not fabricate approvals or production configuration
+
+- Decision: Approved
+- Result: Every missing approval, credential, vendor, domain, owner, and live result is recorded as blocked pending evidence.
+
+## D16-004: Accept dependency-free validation as partial evidence only
+
+- Decision: Approved with documented conditions
+- Evidence: 18 local commands passed under Node 22.16.0.
+- Limitation: This does not satisfy the pinned Node 24.17.0 and pnpm 11.9.0 release gate or any dependency-backed/browser/manual/production gate.
+
+## D16-005: Abort launch before deployment
+
+- Decision: Approved
+- Result: No deployment, DNS cutover, live lead submission, production vendor call, or production mutation was performed.
