1. Interaction modality — does the developer interact via a CLI tool, a web UI, or an API they call from their own toolchain? Options: CLI (lowest build cost, developer-friendly), web UI (higher build cost, accessible to non-engineers), programmatic API (highest flexibility, lowest usability). Unblocked by: product decision before Phase 5 (review gate UX depends on this).

2. Output consumer for review queue — does the developer who owns the source API perform the review, or is there a dedicated migration team? This determines the review UX complexity: a developer who knows the source API needs less context; a migration team that does not own the source API needs much more. Unblocked by: team structure decision before Phase 5.

3. Source artifact delivery — are source APIs delivered as files on disk (manual export), or does the system connect live to an Apigee or Tibco management API to pull artifacts? Options: files (simpler, no auth complexity, works offline), live API (more automation, requires API credentials and connectivity). Unblocked by: customer / deployment environment decision before Phase 1.

4. Validation strategy — what validation signal exists for source APIs? Options: OpenAPI/RAML spec for contract testing, Postman collections for replay, nothing (LLM-generated tests with mandatory human sign-off). Unblocked by: audit of source API test assets before Phase 4.

5. Deployment handoff — who owns deployment of the generated Mulesoft project, and what format do they expect? Options: raw Mulesoft Studio project, Anypoint CLI-deployable artifact, zip archive with deployment instructions. The system stops at generation, but the output format must match the downstream deployment workflow. Unblocked by: Mulesoft platform owner decision before Phase 4.
