 These are flagged as assumptions to confirm against the live model, not blockers:
 
-1. **Stage timestamp sources** — the 5 stages on `fp.portal.job` may not all have explicit timestamp fields. Confirm: do we need to add fields, or pull from the underlying `fp.job` / chatter? If fields are missing, add them as `Datetime` on `fp.portal.job` with `compute=` from the underlying records.
+1. **Stage timestamp sources** — RESOLVED 2026-05-17 Phase 3 investigation: `fp.portal.job` is intentionally decoupled from `fp.job` (no `job_id` link). Existing Date fields cover received/shipped only; the 3 middle stages had no timestamps. Decision: **Option B** — added per-stage `Datetime` fields (`received_at`, `in_progress_started_at`, `qc_started_at`, `ready_to_ship_at`, `shipped_at`) with a `write()` override that snapshots `fields.Datetime.now()` on state change. Idempotent — won't overwrite if already set.
 2. **Operator name surfacing** — customers seeing operator names is a privacy / policy question. Default in the spec is to show first-initial + last-name (e.g., "D. Mendez"). Confirm with EN Plating before shipping.
 3. **Stage-notes copy** — the example notes in the mockup ("Tank 4 · 45 min cycle · Day 3 of 7") are made up. Confirm what info is reasonable to share with the customer per stage.
-4. **Document linking edge cases** — what shows when there are 0 documents in a category? Spec assumes a "Will appear when…" placeholder card per the approved mockup. Verify EN Plating doesn't want the placeholder hidden entirely when empty.
+4. **Document linking edge cases** — RESOLVED 2026-05-17: `fp.portal.job` has no link to `sale.order` / `quote_request` / `part_catalog`, so V1 cannot reach PO / Drawing / Spec documents through the portal job alone. Decision: **Option C for V1** — surface only the directly-attached fields (`coc_attachment_id`, `packing_list_attachment_id`); render the From-You / Specifications / Quality (when CoC missing) / Shipping (when packing missing) groups as placeholder rows ("Will appear when ..." messaging per the approved mockup). V2 (separate change) will add `sale_order_id` Many2one to `fp.portal.job` and pull PO/drawing/spec docs via that link.
 5. **Dark mode** — explicitly deferred. If a customer logs in with `color_scheme=dark` set, what should they see? Default Bootstrap dark fallback is ugly. Suggest: force the portal to `color_scheme=light` for `share=True` users, or add a `prefers-color-scheme: light` meta tag. Document the choice during Phase 1.
