 ## Goal
 
-Fix critical performance bottlenecks in the admin pipeline API, implement auto-avatar fetching for creators, and lay the backend groundwork for creator landing page improvements. Almost entirely backend Python — minimal frontend changes.

 ## Merge Coordination with M016
 
-These two streams are designed to have minimal file overlap:
-- **M016 touches:** `App.css`, `Home.tsx`, `TechniquePage.tsx`, `TableOfContents.tsx`, `AdminPipeline.tsx` (CSS/JSX only), new frontend components, static assets
-- **M017 touches:** `backend/` (routers, models, schemas, services, tasks), `alembic/`, one line in `AdminPipeline.tsx`
+These two streams have **zero file overlap:**
+- **M016 touches:** `frontend/src/` only — `App.css`, `Home.tsx`, `TechniquePage.tsx`, `TableOfContents.tsx`, `AdminPipeline.tsx`, new frontend components, static assets
+- **This session touches:** `backend/` only — routers, models, schemas, services, tasks, `alembic/`
 
-The single conflict point is `AdminPipeline.tsx` — M017's creators limit fix (line 1126) vs M016's pipeline UI fixes (collapse bug at line 729, filter buttons, chevrons). Resolve by merging M017's one-liner first, then M016's broader changes on top.
+No merge conflicts expected. The creators 422 fix (the former single overlap point) now lives in M016 S02.
 
-For the avatar/social-links frontend wiring: M017 ships the API, M016 (or a follow-up) consumes it. No conflict — just sequencing.
