CVE automation is February #1 priority

Situation

Decided that CVE automation is the single most important priority for February. Max should focus on it rather than splitting attention with RLC-AI. RLC-AI has a viable backstop (Peter can threaten to release current version) but CVE automation requires Max's focused leadership.

Reasoning

Max is uniquely capable of driving this initiative - he understands both the technical and organizational complexity. RLC-AI has a backstop but CVE automation does not have an equivalent forcing function. This has been tracked since December as a critical board-level priority, and February is the time to deliver a tangible win.

Additional Context

Discussion in Max 1:1 about where to focus in February. Nathan wants to use CVE project for comprehensive design teachable moment but Peter will support Max's approach to prioritize impact over perfect design doc.

Observed Evidence

From Fathom meeting summary: "Decision: CVE automation is the top priority for February" and "Max's leadership is critical for success" and "RLC AI, while important, has a viable backstop: Peter can threaten to release the current version to maintain focus and urgency."
