## 3. Epics
Epic issues are created when this plan is approved, before its PR merges, so `epic_chain` is never empty at merge (the #962 lesson). #959, #960 and #961 become their children.

`epic_chain`is filled with the four Epic issue numbers when they are created on approval, before this PR merges.
`epic_chain`holds Epics A to D, #1012 to #1015, in order.
**Basis for the expiry,** stated plainly: 168 hours is the maximum, and it is probably **not enough**. Enrollment review, API approval and beta review are all Apple's clock. Expect one re-mint when Epic B starts.

| # | Question | Option A | Option B | Rec. | Your choice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Where does each upload's build number come from? | The CI run number, stamped at build time: always unique, never a commit | The pubspec `+N`, matching Android, but every beta then needs a pubspec commit | ⭐ A | |
| 2 | CoreScope sends packet hashes to `map.okimesh.org`, a server you help run. Declare it? | Declare nothing | Declare "Other Data, not linked to the user, App Functionality" | ⭐ B, safe to take unread | |
| 3 | The support URL App Review requires | A small `offband.org/support` page (`offband-site` work) | The privacy page's contact line | ⭐ A | |
| 4 | Should the GitHub release wait on the iOS upload? | No: an Apple outage cannot block Android and desktop | Yes: all platforms or none | ⭐ A | |

The owner approved the plan without naming options, so the recommendations stand, recorded on #200 as reversible.
Decided already, not choices: Individual enrollment; seller is the legal name; non-trader; France out; public TestFlight link, never email invites; iPhone-only listing; `support@offband.org` as the Apple Account email; Codemagic as fallback only (#957).
