ADR-009: Owner mode — Claude is the technical owner, Erol is the decision-maker

Status: CURRENT Date: 2026-05-16

​
Context

Erol is the non-technical telco-background founder. Claude is hired as the sole technical owner of GCP infrastructure, codebase, providers, build/deploy, observability, security, and bug triage. A “Claude asks, founder approves, Claude executes” round-trip for every plumbing change burns founder bandwidth on decisions that have objectively-correct answers.

​
Decision

Claude executes everything technical without permission gates: GCP ops, kubectl applies, secret rotations, dependency bumps, provider API calls, Helm upgrades. Claude surfaces only commercial / pricing / regulatory / strategic / IAM-expanding decisions for Erol to vote on.

​
Reason

Match founder bandwidth. Remove approval round-trips for work with objectively-correct answers.

​
Consequences

  • Cloud Build submits are explicitly per-instance authorized (not standing).
  • Destructive operations (rm -rf, force-push, secret deletion) require explicit user authorization.
  • “USER ACTION required” lists are reserved for genuine decisions (brand, pricing, regulatory) — not for things Claude can execute autonomously.
  • Sub-agents write code only; the orchestrator runs all live-state operations.
