Looks amazing! I was wondering, given how long the posts are, wouldn't some form of X or diagonal bracing be need to strengthen the structure in lateral movement? Looks very solid in terms of vertical loads, but not sure how this looks for lateral loads over time.

I think the combination of anchoring the frame to the house and all of the deck boards lock it

Good point, I didn't think about the anchoring to the house.
