 - **Renumbered on arrival:** titled "CR-007 … Phase 10G"; CR-007 to CR-009 and Phases 10G–10I already exist, so it is **CR-010**, done as **Phase 10J** (its 10G.n are 10J.n).
 - **Decisions:** 0.5.12 Pilot pay is replaced in place (profit share). The CR's 0.5.51 and 0.5.52 are **0.5.69 Deduction order** and **0.5.70 Veteran pilot**. Its "CR-001 decision 0.5.24" (the loan) is this plan's §0.5.32.
 - **Goal and timing target changes** to CR-001's goal 4 and the "hire first pilot" target are applied in their steps (10J.3, 10J.7).

+## Step 10J.1

+- **The flat fee is removed one step later**, in 10J.2 together with the formula that replaces it, so every commit builds. `pilotProfitShare` is added here.
+- **The veteran lives with the onboarding content** (`content.veteranPilot`: name, bio, level, skills) since it belongs to the deal. Name and bio are from the CR's example.
+- **Skill points are checked against the level:** a level-2 pilot has 2 × 2 = 4 points; the veteran spends 1 (Heavy Cargo 1) and has 3 unspent.
