The demo pipeline: photo processing, OG images, JSON-LD, demo-mode behaviors, and all three seed clients live on Vercel previews.

The monorepo, the Zod config contract, and an Astro 7 site that builds CJ's Barbershop out of one config.yaml and nothing else.

The live pipeline: Google reviews with compliance rendering, live-only analytics, two-layer rate limiting, and a fake client on a real domain to prove it.

Townwick's own page: a separate workspace app, not a fourth client. The three-demo showcase shipped held on consent grounds, behind one switch.

Three milestones in one day: page composition becomes config data, six research-derived section types land, and motion ships with its perceptibility measured.

One prospect conversation turned into five FAQ answers, a shorter term, and the pipeline code that makes each answer true: an exit bundle and a verify gate.

The last numbered phase: a signature-verified Stripe webhook whose entire job is one operator email, plus the Paused and Churned checklists.

The output-quality programme closes: per-vertical interview kits, a scaffolder that won't overwrite answers, and a zero-key extraction prompt with a gate.
