Oh, that wasn't how I read it, since we were asking about whether we should use the slot on her or not. Can we get a clarification QMs?

Possibly preventing war between the Pangolins and the Dogs is worth an introduction from the Dog Boss. No other potential dog summon could be that effective especially since there is a limited amount of time before diplomacy between the Pangolins and Dogs becomes functionally impossible.
This is the most Uplift thing we could do with one of our dog summons: improving the lives of 7th path citizens by hopefully not having them fight in a pointless war between our allies.

This might need to be somewhat integrated with action IC - asking about Snowflake in the former case and figuring out how to keep decoding at full-speed in the latter. I would strongly prefer 3 training blocks, which sucks up all available daily SC time.

The point of having a SOP is so that we know what to do when there isn't anything else pressing for the clone-hours. If an action plan says to use one of our Shadow Clones to get the paperwork done, or to attend a meeting, or if one of those things happens in the update, then in the player-driven post-update XP calculation we just subtract that clone from the SOP.
You make an excellent point about Akane though, and I completely forgot that her clones should be decoding. Accordingly:
[X] Shadow Clone SOP: Akane Decoding
- Daily:
- 10 clone-hours (across 4 clones) decoding notes.
- Upgrade with additional clone-hours as Resolve increases, up to Resolve 26 at which Akane is at the limits of her chakra (15 clones-hours across 5 clones) and we cannot advance further until we sort that out.
- Six fewer clone-hours than normal on the day before a mission, to guarantee no Consequences.
- 10 clone-hours (across 4 clones) decoding notes.
Current resolve: 21
Current internal chakra: 300
Status of chakra refills: ambiguous
Max castable clones: 5 (150 + 125 = 275)
Max clone-hours: 10

In fact, Keiko needs to be interrogated as well, because her actions were probably the immediate impetus.
I cannot emphasize this enough. Something epochally bad is about to happen, it is going to involve Noburi and/or Yuno, and the absolute best case scenario is that she has decided to marry into the Hyuuga. That was not a proposal. That was a farewell.

Not merely epic, but epoch-defining?
Yes. This was so idealistically sculpted that multiple GMs completely forgot that Noburi has an entire other brother. They're building to something heartbreakingly terrible.

Speaking of which, does shadow clone XP synergize with Yamanaka Technique XP if we have the clones use the technique while training Resolve?

I'm okay with Noda or Sakura, though I'd also be open to saving it. Aya's pov chapter heavily implied that she suffered extreme trauma at the hands of a taijutsu specialist and that Hazou reminded her of her assailant. Aya was extremely disinterested and I vaguely recall saying that we should give her her space because of that.
I'd still totally be down for Sakura, provided that Haru and Akane are okay with that. They were friends and Sakura should be a good fit into the Goketsu. So unless there's anything horrible that Akane/Haru haven't told us about her, then I'm down to vote for her getting the adoption slot...
Or Noda, since Noda is a technique hacker with her own unique jutsu and was interesting enough when... Well, when she wasn't blackout drunk. But I can understand how we might not have the time to commit to helping her to her feet.
I'd argue that it's very important. We only discovered Isan (and thus, the Pangolin Scroll) because of a lucky tracking roll on Mari's part. Candoru is probably a pretty good tracker, but imagine what a tracking specialist dog summon might lead us to?? (Edit: the ultimate game of fetch) ^.^
I didn't catch it at first... Upon reread? Yeah... It hit my heart.
...But... Why? They seemed alright, if a little confused by standard relationship stuff. Noburi and Yuno need to sit down and talk it out (with Keiko moderating, probably) but nothing more than that.

So... Happiness is a death flag? I mean, sure Noburi needs to show he's devoted to Yuno and dedicated to her, but I don't think there's anything more at stake than their relationship.

Apparently they meant Haru, who I just assumed wasn't invited lol
Haru died?

No, Noburi had a biological older brother who died when he was younger
Yes, this is a thing humans do regarding the grudgeful sibling they have just recently chosen to take legal responsibility for in the hopes of winning his loyalty and assimilation into the core family. Happens all the time.

Maybe Haru was at the party, just not a big part of it? Given his characterization, I could see him being naturally inclined to be a "wallflower" at parties, especially since Haru's still not sure if he wants to be part of the Team Uplift family. IIRC, the main draw to signing up with the Goketsu was the clan name that Haru could then use to help his family and actually get things done around the Leaf.
I've read Haru more as "do I want to be a part of this family more than just in name alone?" We've shown that we trust him (that one scene with Noburi's bloodline secret, where Haru was stunned by Hazou's trust in him, Hazou just kinda said "we're different," and Haru was flabbergasted because he's beginning to realize that Hazou really is telling the truth and truly is different). So now Haru just has to decide if he wants to take that leap of faith and join Uplift in full, or remain a mere Goketsu.
I actually thought that we were intentionally giving Haru his space to decide... Oops?
There are plenty of Watsonian explanations, none of which are more parsimonious than the Doylist explanation I brought it up as a part of.
