+- **Investor Test (honest):**
+  1. Trust with money? **No** — key recovery missing, email verification is theater (BUG-021)
+  2. Data loss? **No** — backups running ✅
+  3. Free tier abuse? **Yes** — code in API response = easy automation
+  4. Key recovery? **NO**
+  5. False features? Mostly clean
+- **Decision:** Use Resend free tier for transactional email (100/day, $0, DKIM/SPF). Needs investor to create account or we install postfix ourselves.
+- **Spawned Backend Dev** for BUG-022 (rate limit before dup check) + BUG-024 (X-API-Key header) — still running at session end
+- **Budget:** €181.71 remaining, Revenue: €0
+- **Status:** NOT launch-ready. BUG-021 (showstopper) requires SMTP. BUG-022/024 fixes in progress.
+- **Blocker:** Need SMTP solution — either investor creates Resend account (free) or we install postfix on server
+- **Next:** Get SMTP working → remove code from API response → key recovery → load testing

 - **CEO assessment:** State said "launch-ready" but 6 open HIGH bugs. Not honest. Fixed status to "fixing-high-bugs".
 - **Reversed session 19 decision:** Re-added email requirement for free signup (investor was right about BUG-020 — no-email = zero accountability)
