# Project State

## Project Reference

See: `.planning/PROJECT.md` (updated 2026-04-11)

**Core value:** Your coding agent can never surprise you with a destructive action, and you can always prove what it did.
**Current focus:** Phase 3 — Public Launch

## Current Position

Phase: 3 (Public Launch) — EXECUTING (3/3 plans closed; phase awaits launch event)
Plan: 3 of 3 (03-01 + 03-02 + 03-03 all closed; 03-02 deferred-closed with launch blitz Task 4 pending upstream DOG-02 walkthrough)
Status: Blocked — Phase 3 cannot fully close until DOG-02 walkthrough is recorded → 6-location atomic backfill commit lands → homepage + blog page incognito-verified live → DOG-04 launch blitz executed in same-day 2-hour window
Last activity: 2026-04-23

Progress: [████████▌░] 83%

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Full decision log lives in `PROJECT.md` (Key Decisions table). Recent decisions affecting Phase 1:

- **2026-04-11 (Discovery)**: Target audience = devs running Claude Code / coding agents. Indie profitable ambition, not VC. Beachhead narrowing is temporary, not identity. Rejected: homelab, enterprise security, OpenClaw-specific framing.
- **2026-04-11 (Discovery)**: Public dogfood is the flagship demo — Wes's Claude Code → Discord approval flow is the proof surface, and it was hiding in a GitHub issue comment (#46) until now.
- **2026-04-11 (Discovery)**: Closed-loop flywheel — DashClaw-governed AI agents doing research and content to grow DashClaw — is the unique moat. No other agent-governance tool can credibly run this.
- **2026-04-11 (Discovery)**: Activation bugs (`lucide-react` #71, 502 docs #31, Lief's CSP fixes, Elpolini's migration compat) block launch and must land in Phase 1 before the beachhead work begins.
- [Phase 1.5]: BUG-01 fallback: require_approval when no LLM key — not fail-open, not fail-closed (2026-04-11)
- [Phase 1.5]: BUG-02 recording is opportunistic: audit write failure does not prevent exit-2 block enforcement (2026-04-11)
- Plan 02-02: Use tweetnacl@1.0.3 (not native crypto) for Discord Ed25519 verify — canonical library, avoids raw-key-format ambiguity (2026-04-22)
- Plan 02-02: Wrap all tweetnacl inputs in Uint8Array.from(Buffer.from(...)) for jsdom/Node cross-realm compat — Rule 1 fix folded into GREEN commit (2026-04-22)
- Plan 02-03: Factor pure helpers into sibling .js when page file bears JSX — vitest oxc parser refuses JSX in .js files on import (2026-04-22)
- Plan 02-03: D-17 GIF click-through works via anchor-wrapped img markdown pattern — correcting the earlier 'descoped' assumption (2026-04-22)
- Plan 02-01: Deferred walkthrough recording at Task 2 human-action checkpoint per operator resume-signal `skip recording for now, ship placeholder` — CCI-01 + CCI-05 URL backfill recorded as open gaps, not silently skipped (2026-04-22)
- Plan 02-01: CCI-02 no-regression gate held at d3e96819 — 1690 pass / 5 skip / 0 fail full suite, 9/9 claude-code-starter-pack, all guardrails clean; Task 1 is verification-only (no commit) per plan design (2026-04-22)
- MON-01 trigger locked 2026-04-23 (Plan 03-03): 50 verified Claude Code integrations in the wild, 90-day recency, excluding org_default + org_demo. Committed in PROJECT.md, README.md, /pricing page; launch content to land in Plan 03-02.
- MON-02 Pro tier gate shipped dormant (Plan 03-03): requireTier('pro') in app/lib/org.js composes on existing organizations.plan + getOrgPlan() — no schema migration, no /pro/* route tree, no @dashclaw/pro package. Free orgs get 403 COMING_SOON with commitment text, NOT a buy-CTA (D-07).
- Plan 03-01: Deferred walkthrough recording at Task 3 human-action checkpoint per operator resume-signal `ship placeholder again` — DOG-03 shipped complete (3eaa013d + a33bada7); DOG-02 walkthrough artifact + 5-location URL backfill recorded as open gap. Mirrors Phase 2 02-01 deferred-close pattern exactly. Same future recording session closes CCI-01 + CCI-05 + DOG-02 atomically (2026-04-22).
- Plan 03-01: VideoHero component enforces Loom + youtube-nocookie hostname allowlist at React render layer (throws on non-allowed host) — T-03-01-04 SSRF mitigation belt-and-suspenders with CSP frame-src directive; allowlist test green in video-hero.test.jsx (2026-04-22).
- Plan 03-01: Hard-gate for 03-02 Show HN — homepage unshippable until hero VideoHere src (`PLACEHOLDER_VIDEO_ID` at app/page.jsx:59) backfilled with real embed URL. Pitfall 1 (HN URL-change after submission kills rank) blocks launch sequence (2026-04-22).
- Plan 03-02: Deferred Task 4 launch blitz at human-action checkpoint per operator resume-signal `defer launch` — third instance of the deferred-close pattern this milestone (after 02-01 and 03-01). Tasks 1-3 (drafts + blog page + Discord alert) shipped complete in commits `668c548d` + `6eb67d00` + `8463abc8`; full suite 1799 pass / 5 skip / 0 fail (+47 tests vs 1752 baseline). DOG-04 marked partial-deferred. Same future recording session that closes Phase 2 CCI-01 + CCI-05 + Phase 3 DOG-02 ALSO unblocks DOG-04 launch blitz (2026-04-23).
- Plan 03-02: Surfaced 6th placeholder location at `app/blog/claude-code-beachhead/page.jsx:23` (VIDEO_URL constant — same `PLACEHOLDER_VIDEO_ID` literal as homepage hero). Cross-phase backfill checklist grew from 5 locations to 6; atomic backfill commit must update BOTH the hero AND the blog page in one commit to keep both surfaces consistent. `scripts/check-screencast-backfilled.mjs` does NOT cover the two `PLACEHOLDER_VIDEO_ID` locations — they require a separate grep (2026-04-23).

### Pending Todos

None yet (`.planning/todos/pending/` not initialized).

### Blockers/Concerns

- **Monetization trigger is undefined.** "Free first, paid later" has no *later*. Phase 3 (MON-01) picks the trigger — until then, watch for scope creep toward "free forever."
- **Founder dogfood has not been verifiably committed yet.** The Claude Code → Discord flow worked on 2026-03-18 (per issue #46) but there's no daily evidence. Phase 1 (DOG-01) instruments this so we can *prove* the commitment.
- **Zero user-research data.** Four real users identified in `.planning/research/SIGNAL.md` but none contacted. Phase 1 (USR-01, USR-02) closes this before Phase 2 scope gets locked.

## Session Continuity

Last session: 2026-05-13T21:50:00.000Z
Stopped at: AgentLens absorption follow-ups closed plus a 413-on-large-files fix shipped. Second `dashclaw code ingest` round surfaced 54 HTTP 413s on files between 3.2 MB and 13.7 MB — Vercel Hobby's 4.5 MB body limit plus ~30% JSON-array inflation. Shipped gzip+base64 ingest payloads (CLI compresses files >1 MB raw, server decompresses) in commits `302f835d` (route + CLI + tests) and `916a9485` (cron test mock follow-up). Suite: 2031 vitest pass / 0 fail / 5 skip; 13 CLI; lint + route-sql:check clean. Operator follow-ups: re-run ingest round 3 to clear the 54, then continue with the smoke list. Phase 3 launch blitz still blocked on DOG-02 walkthrough recording.
Resume file: `.planning/.continue-here.md` (AgentLens follow-up checklist, refreshed)

**Planned Phase:** 3 (Public Launch — phase awaiting launch event to fully close) — 2026-04-23T02:03:52.000Z
