Yes, there could potentially be some automation/technical improvements
that could happen over time. But they should be done in direct
collaboration with you and James. If you and/or James are disagreeing,
changes should wait until you both agree, or not be done. That's my
view.

Agreed on all of the above.

Agree again :) .  Maybe we should just start this now? A written
process, and a ruleset for governance, disputes, etc?
