+## ⚡ STRATEGY PIVOT — 2026-05-06
+
+**Decision: skip v0.6 kickstart polish. Pivot directly to v0.7
+BlueBuild OCI path.**
+
+Reasons:
+- v0.5.32 produced a green ISO (2.7 GB) on the Forgejo runner. Proof
+  point achieved.
+- Continuing to debug `livecd-creator` + `anaconda` quirks for v0.6
+  polish is sunk-cost work on tooling we retire at v1.0 anyway.
+- v0.7 spike already has a working BlueBuild recipe + `ostreecontainer`
+  kickstart directive. Layering veilor branding + installer + power CLI
+  on top of secureblue beats re-deriving the same hardening from
+  scratch.
+- Ergonomic CLI tools (`veilor-postinstall`, `veilor-doctor`,
+  `veilor-update`) translate cleanly to v0.7: `bootc upgrade` replaces
+  `dnf upgrade`. Move them into v0.7 scope.
+
+**v0.5.0 is the final kickstart-path release.** Tag, freeze, ship as
+proof-of-work / portfolio anchor. **v0.6 cancelled as a milestone.**
+
+Active focus: `v0.7-bluebuild-spike` branch.

-## v0.7 — public flex + bootc spike
+## v0.7 — BlueBuild OCI mainline (ACTIVE — primary focus 2026-05-06+)
+
+This was originally planned as "public flex + bootc spike". Post-pivot,
+v0.7 is now the **primary active milestone** — it absorbs all v0.6
+ergonomic work and becomes the next ship target.
+
+Scope:
+- BlueBuild recipe (`bluebuild/recipe.yml`) layering on
+  `ghcr.io/secureblue/securecore-kinoite-hardened-userns`
+- `kickstart/install-ostreecontainer.ks` — 10-line kickstart that calls
+  `ostreecontainer --url=ghcr.io/veilor-org/veilor-os:43 --transport=registry`
+  and lets Anaconda's LUKS UX drive the install
+- veilor brand layer: KDE black theme, gum installer assets, custom
+  Konsole profile, branded `os-release`
+- `veilor-power` 3-mode CLI (lifted as-is from v0.5.x overlay)
+- `veilor-postinstall` (formerly v0.6 flagship) — first-login TUI
+- `veilor-doctor` (formerly v0.6) — boot-time + weekly drift check
+- `veilor-update` rewritten on `bootc upgrade` (was `dnf upgrade`)
+- Forgejo registry as primary OCI publish target; GHCR mirror optional
+- cosign key-pair signing of OCI image (replaces broken keyless flow)
