Pearl Harbor as a failed decisive-battle setup

How could Japan have turned Pearl Harbor into the decisive battle it wanted?

Either use a different operation to draw the U.S. fleet into battle, or make Pearl Harbor far more damaging by hitting facilities, ships, and Hawaii's base infrastructure so the U.S. first has to rebuild and retake the position.

The answer frames Pearl Harbor as a paradox: sinking or disabling the battle line removed the immediate decisive battle Japan wanted to fight. Alternatives included drawing the U.S. fleet toward the Philippines or doing far more damage to Hawaii through additional strike waves, landings, and destruction of yards and facilities. Such plans could alter the war's timing and geography without guaranteeing Japanese success.
