 ## Task
 Identify gaps — things implied by VISION.md that are neither reflected in the project state nor covered by an existing open issue.
+When a gap involves deploying, hosting, or operating a service, reference the specific resource alias from RESOURCES.md (e.g. \"deploy to <host-alias>\") so issues are actionable.
 
 For each gap, output a JSON object (one per line, no array wrapper):
 {\"title\": \"action-oriented title\", \"body\": \"problem statement + why it matters + rough approach\", \"depends\": [list of blocking issue numbers or empty]}
