**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:56 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:57 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Did not modify `docs/media-policy.md` because no audio, transcript, thumbnail, artwork, media URL, media download, committed asset, or browser-visible media handling is approved.
* Recorded that rationale in `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md`.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Added related-doc no-change rationale for media policy.

**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:53 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:54 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Recorded the final decision as "defer" in the compliance package.
* Rationale: metadata sources exist, but no reviewed path currently approves audio download, transcription, transcript retention, transcript summarization, and browser-safe theme publication together.
* Follow-up condition: a future session must name a source/provider and review source terms, media rights, cache, retention, attribution, spend, parser, and leak tests before implementation.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Recorded final decision, rationale, and reopen conditions.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T009 complete and updated progress.

* Marked Session 17 as deferred and listed prohibited Phase 29 implementation work.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Added decision criteria and Session 17 handoff.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T008 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/implementation-notes.md` - Logged handoff rule completion.

***

### Task T007 - Define retention, deletion, private cache, attribution, and spend policy

**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:51 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:52 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Recorded that no podcast cache, media artifact, transcript artifact, or deletion flow is approved for Phase 29 because no runtime artifact may exist.
* Added minimum future approval conditions for transcript retention, media retention, metadata retention, private cache, deletion, termination, and backups.
* Added future attribution and spend-label requirements while blocking raw billing payloads, provider logs, cache paths, and media/source internals from browser surfaces.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Added retention, cache, attribution, and spend policy.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T007 complete and updated progress.

* Classified episode URLs, episode titles, show names, and publisher/feed names as future safe attribution only after a source-specific approval.
* Classified theme labels, theme summaries, and per-episode angles as blocked for Phase 29 runtime.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Added explicit field classifications.

* Kept provider feasibility separate from implementation approval.

* Set the document-level decision to defer so Session 17 cannot be treated as implicitly approved.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/sources/source-compliance-podcasts.md` - Created podcast/audio compliance package.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T004 complete and updated progress.

### Task T003 - Record decision inputs, reviewed docs, and validation commands

**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:44 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:45 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added reviewed repo documents, official source references, and focused validation commands to this implementation log.
* External references were used only to classify risk and provider feasibility; no source, provider, transcript, media, or credential artifact was created.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T003 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/implementation-notes.md` - Added decision input and validation command records.

### Task T002 - Inspect source onboarding, Apify, and Trend Finder source docs

**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:43 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:44 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Reviewed `docs/sources/apify-source-onboarding.md`; new source activation requires compliance docs, reviewed caps, parser tests, normalized browser-safe evidence, and no raw Dataset rows or media download URLs.
* Reviewed `docs/extensions/trend-finder-sources.md`; source candidates remain backlog anchors until source-specific compliance, parser, retention, spend, and browser-safety review is complete.
* Reviewed relevant ADR context: static disabled-first extension registration and no source adapter before compliance review; fallback clustering stays dependency-free and browser-safe.
* Checked current official provider references for podcast candidates and transcription provider feasibility without treating those references as implementation approval.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T002 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/implementation-notes.md` - Logged source-gate conventions.

***

### Task T001 - Verify existing source compliance, media policy, and Phase 29 podcast stubs

**Started**: 2026-06-21 05:42 **Completed**: 2026-06-21 05:43 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed `docs/sources/source-compliance-youtube.md` exists and already blocks transcripts, comments, thumbnails, media files, and audiovisual content from browser-safe artifacts.
* Confirmed `docs/media-policy.md` exists and governs committed image/media assets, but does not yet approve podcast/audio collection.
* Confirmed Phase 29 Session 16 and Session 17 stubs exist and keep podcast implementation blocked until an explicit compliance decision lands.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/tasks.md` - Marked T001 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session16-podcast-compliance-package/implementation-notes.md` - Logged reviewed baseline documents.
