feedback never ask lindsay

Never propose "ask Lindsay" as a path to unblock anything that requires HubSpot Super Admin permissions (Private Apps, portal-level settings, scope changes, integration approvals, user-role elevation). Joseph's relationship with Lindsay does not permit this kind of ask.

Why: Joseph stated explicitly on 2026-05-12 "No to asking lyndsay and stop asking me to do that. It's not an option." It's a hard constraint regardless of how cleanly it would solve a problem.

How to apply: When a fix path runs into "requires HS Super Admin," do NOT default to "ask Lindsay." Find a non-admin path (CSRF-via-Chrome, OAuth user-grant flow, chrome_bridge UI scraping, REST API with user-scoped token if available) or surface the constraint honestly as "this fix isn't available without admin and Joseph can't route through Lindsay — here's what we can do instead." Same rule applies to any future named HS admin unless Joseph explicitly re-opens that channel.
