## Milestone Summary

**Key Decisions:**
- Use n8n for orchestration (already running on Unraid)
- Simple keyword matching over Claude NLU (reduces complexity)
- Single-user auth via Telegram user ID
- Hardcoded user ID in workflow (n8n CE limitation)
- Static curl binary mount (hardened n8n image)
- Exact match priority for container names
- Default to :latest tag when pulling images
- HTML escape log output for Telegram

**Issues Resolved:**
- Docker socket access (--group-add 281)
- Memory exhaustion on large pulls (tail -c 10000)
- All tags pulled without explicit tag (append :latest)
- HTML parse errors in logs (<computed> text)
- Container name collisions (exact match priority)

**Technical Debt:**
- None significant for v1.0
