David decided: Rejected shared upload modal, commissioned bespoke design from scratch
David refused to reuse an existing small upload modal, directing a new bespoke design built from scratch for the external-file upload flow.
When the plan suggested reusing FileUploadModal.tsx for the external-file upload requirement, David pushed back.
no, that one is too small and i dont like it. we need to build ours from scratch
He then described his vision: Kerra greeting text, a grid of dotted-outline upload slots, each showing the source title and domain badge rather than raw URLs. He also removed the checkbox consent copy.

The decision kept the design language simple and friendly rather than legal-defensive.
