Only you can do these 9
- Shoot this week (w/c 14 Sept): short sessions on different days and times. No assets exist yet. — The 5, 6, 12, 13 Sept shoot did not happen. Banner shots first (shot-list.md 1A), they gate the website. Staff consent in writing before the first session. Ingest and index after each session, not at the end. 26–27 Sept: Faisal has real photos of the bar, the frontage, the pavement seating and the brass wall sign (used as Higgsfield references). None are indexed yet. (since 2026-09-13)
- Arman to confirm the staged payments and the 1 Oct start — Faisal chases. Commercial — never crosses to the portal. (since 2026-09-13)
- Written contract — none exists, proposal only — Parties, notice, ad spend on his card, IP on payment, photo/staff consent, GDPR Art. 28 for the list, liability cap, no guarantee of results. (since 2026-09-13)
- NeroPay conflict-of-interest check — Arman is a NeroPay account Faisal owns. (since 2026-09-13)
- Outdoor seating unverified — Ask Arman. Never claim it in copy until confirmed. 26 Sept: Faisal's photos show three square slatted wooden tables with six bistro armchairs on the setts in front of the left bay, closed off by tall black planters carrying the gold rosette logo, so they are the restaurant's. Still to confirm: that they're used for service, and whether seasonally or year-round. Faisal wants them in the frontage image. Once Arman confirms, close this and it becomes a selling point. 28 Sept: the live website's Visit hero and schema image show the pavement tables, an implied claim until Arman confirms. (since 2026-09-13)
- Business name in four variants across listings; match the signage everywhere — Part of the Google Business Profile plan (context/google-profile-plan.md). Needs Arman to say what is on the sign. (since 2026-09-13)
- Duplicate Deliveroo listings — August audit, context/strategy.md. (since 2026-09-13)
- Delete the disabled Cowork scheduled task 'Arman Weekly Content Draft' — Disabled since 10 Aug. This repo's weekly rhythm replaces it. Do not re-enable. (since 2026-09-13)
- Owner app shows untrue or uncleared items (shoot, retainer countdown, ads date, 'automatically every Monday') — Faisal's decisions and exact replacement wording are in handoffs/2026-09-28_to-portal.md, for the portal session to apply. (since 2026-09-28)
