 ## Changes during the run
 
-(none yet)
+- 2026-09-25, task 01, first session: ten minutes circling the line budget — `config.go` was
+  already at 401 lines and the task named no new file for the package. Owner fault: the task now
+  creates `internal/config/route.go` (and allows `internal/proxy/route.go`). Session stopped and
+  restarted on a clean tree.
