| ID | Says | Status | Evidence |
|----|------|--------|----------|
| A001 | The Team card shows an email form instead of a link button | ✅ SATISFIED | PriceCard.tsx:34 — `isWaitlist ? <WaitlistForm />`, WaitlistForm.tsx:79-128 renders `<form>` |
| A002 | The Individual card still shows its original install button | ✅ SATISFIED | copy.ts:434 — Individual has `href`, PriceCard.tsx:37-44 — non-waitlist renders `<Button href={...}>` |

## Independent Findings

**Predictions resolved:**

1. **Confirmed — Honeypot DOM input is decorative.** The `<input name="_gotcha">` in the form DOM (line 87) is never read by the submit handler. The JSON body hardcodes `_gotcha: ""` (line 45). If a bot fills the DOM field, the submitted value is still `""`. The honeypot mechanism works at the Formspree level (non-empty `_gotcha` = spam), but the DOM input's value is never transmitted. It only matters if Formspree were to receive HTML form submissions — with JSON fetch, the DOM fields are irrelevant.

2. **Confirmed — Hidden `_source` input is similarly dead.** The `<input type="hidden" name="_source" value="pricing-card">` (line 89) is never included in the fetch body through the DOM. The JSON body hardcodes `_source: "pricing-card"` (line 46). Both DOM inputs are vestigial — they'd only matter with native form submission, which `e.preventDefault()` blocks.

3. **Not found — Success aria-live gap compensated by focus.** The `aria-live="polite"` on the success `<p>` (line 71) is on a freshly mounted element, which some screen readers won't detect. However, the `requestAnimationFrame(() => successRef.current?.focus())` (line 59) combined with `tabIndex={-1}` (line 72) ensures screen readers read the content via focus, not via live region. Functional, though the aria-live attribute is technically ineffective as a live region announcement trigger.

4. **Not found — Responsive layout works despite spec/CSS breakpoint gap.** Spec says "desktop >768px" but CSS only enforces column at ≤480px. The `flex: 1 1 200px` on the input with `flex-wrap: wrap` handles the 481–768px range naturally — the input and button sit side by side when there's room, wrap when there isn't. The spec says "Tablet adapts based on available space" which this achieves.

5. **Not predicted — No unused exports.** Checked: `WaitlistForm` is imported by PriceCard. `FORMSPREE_ID`, `FORMSPREE_URL`, `TIMEOUT_MS`, `EMAIL_RE` are module-private (not exported). No YAGNI violations.

6. **Not predicted — Button component compatibility verified.** The `Button` component spreads `...rest` onto `<button>` (Button.tsx:69), so `type="submit"` and `disabled` props flow through correctly. The `Omit<ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>, "className">` type ensures type safety.

**Over-building check:** No extra parameters, no unused functions, no code paths beyond what the spec requires. The three-constant header (`FORMSPREE_ID`, `FORMSPREE_URL`, `TIMEOUT_MS`) is clean — `FORMSPREE_URL` is derived from `FORMSPREE_ID`, not duplicating the ID.

## AC Walkthrough

- **AC1:** ✅ PASS — Team card renders `WaitlistForm` component (PriceCard.tsx:34-35). Form is always visible (no toggle/reveal logic).
- **AC2:** ✅ PASS — `fetch(FORMSPREE_URL, { method: "POST", headers: { Accept: "application/json" } })` at WaitlistForm.tsx:37-49. `e.preventDefault()` blocks page redirect.
- **AC3:** ✅ PASS — Success state replaces form with `✓ You're on the list...` message (WaitlistForm.tsx:66-77). Fade-in via CSS animation at 250ms (pricing.module.css:247,254-257). State persists (no reset logic).
- **AC4:** ✅ PASS — Error state shows message with `team@anatomia.dev` mailto link (WaitlistForm.tsx:120-125). Button disabled is false when state is "error" — form stays interactive.
- **AC5:** ✅ PASS — `_gotcha` honeypot field present (WaitlistForm.tsx:86-88), off-screen via CSS (pricing.module.css:259-262), `aria-hidden="true"` and `tabIndex={-1}`. `_source` field set to `"pricing-card"` (WaitlistForm.tsx:89, JSON body:46).
- **AC6:** ✅ PASS — Validation at WaitlistForm.tsx:24-28: empty and malformed emails caught by regex. Error shown inline in `aria-live` container.
- **AC7:** ✅ PASS — Button disabled during submitting (WaitlistForm.tsx:110), text changes to "Sending..." (WaitlistForm.tsx:113).
- **AC8:** ⚠️ PARTIAL — Desktop row layout confirmed via flex default (pricing.module.css:178-182). Mobile column at ≤480px confirmed (pricing.module.css:264-268). Cannot verify visual rendering without running the dev server — verified by CSS source inspection only.
- **AC9:** ✅ PASS — `aria-label="Email address"` (WaitlistForm.tsx:100). Descriptive button text "Join the waitlist" (WaitlistForm.tsx:113). `aria-live="polite"` on message regions (WaitlistForm.tsx:71,116). Form submits on Enter (native `<form>` + `<button type="submit">`).
- **AC10:** ⚠️ PARTIAL — CSS rules for highlighted card input styling present (pricing.module.css:209-224). Dark mode override present. Cannot verify visual appearance without running dev server — verified by CSS source inspection only.
- **AC11:** ✅ PASS — `const FORMSPREE_ID = "xbdbjkkg"` in WaitlistForm.tsx:7. Not in copy.ts or config.
- **AC12:** ✅ PASS — Individual plan in copy.ts:434 has `href`, no `waitlist` flag. PriceCard:10 — `"waitlist" in plan` is false for Individual, so Button renders.
- **AC13:** ✅ PASS — `pnpm run build` succeeded with 0 errors.
- **AC14:** ✅ PASS — `type="email"` on input (WaitlistForm.tsx:92). Browser provides email keyboard on mobile and built-in validation as secondary check. `noValidate` on form (WaitlistForm.tsx:83) defers to custom validation.
- **AC15:** ✅ PASS — `tabIndex={-1}` on success message (WaitlistForm.tsx:72). `requestAnimationFrame(() => successRef.current?.focus())` moves focus after render (WaitlistForm.tsx:59).

## Blockers

No blockers. All 23 contract assertions satisfied. All 15 acceptance criteria pass or partially pass (2 PARTIAL due to inability to visually verify CSS rendering without a dev server — CSS source inspection confirms correct rules are present). No test regressions (2486/2486). Build succeeds. Lint clean.

Checked for: unused exports in new files (none — `WaitlistForm` is the only export, imported by PriceCard), unused parameters in new functions (none — `handleSubmit` uses `e`, all state variables referenced), error paths without coverage (error and timeout both route to `setState("error")` with `clearTimeout(timer)` cleanup), external assumptions (Formspree endpoint URL constructed from hardcoded ID — reasonable).

## Findings

- **Code — Honeypot DOM input is dead code:** `website/components/pricing/WaitlistForm.tsx:87` — The `<input name="_gotcha">` exists in the DOM but its value is never read. The JSON fetch body hardcodes `_gotcha: ""` (line 45). Bots filling this field have no effect because `e.preventDefault()` blocks native form submission. The honeypot still works at the Formspree level (they check for non-empty `_gotcha` in the JSON payload), but the DOM input is vestigial. Harmless, but misleading to the next developer who assumes the DOM field value matters.

- **Code — Hidden `_source` DOM input is dead code:** `website/components/pricing/WaitlistForm.tsx:89` — Same issue. `<input type="hidden" name="_source" value="pricing-card">` is never submitted through the DOM. The JSON body hardcodes `_source: "pricing-card"` (line 46). The DOM element adds weight without function.

- **Code — Success aria-live on dynamically mounted element:** `website/components/pricing/WaitlistForm.tsx:71` — The `aria-live="polite"` attribute is on a `<p>` that doesn't exist in the DOM until the success state renders. Many screen readers only track live regions that are already present. The focus management (`requestAnimationFrame + focus()` at line 59) compensates effectively — screen readers will read the focused element. The `aria-live` is belt-and-suspenders but not reliably functional as a live region.

- **Code — Hardcoded error color on highlighted card:** `website/components/pricing/pricing.module.css:242` — `.cardHighlighted .waitlistError { color: #ff8a8a; }` uses a hardcoded hex instead of a CSS custom property. Every other color in the file uses variables (`var(--color-brand)`, `var(--bg)`, etc.). Minor inconsistency — functional but deviates from the file's convention.

- **Code — No client-side submission rate limiting:** `website/components/pricing/WaitlistForm.tsx:54` — After an error, the form re-enables immediately. A user (or script) can spam retries. Formspree has server-side rate limiting, so this is defense-in-depth rather than a vulnerability. Worth monitoring if Formspree rate-limit responses need specific handling (they return 429).

- **Upstream — Spec desktop breakpoint doesn't match CSS implementation:** The spec says "On desktop (>768px), input and button sit side by side" but the CSS never references 768px. The form is row-layout by default (flex-wrap) with column forced only at ≤480px. The 481–768px range relies on `flex: 1 1 200px` wrapping heuristics. The spec also says "Tablet adapts based on available space" — the implementation achieves this, but the 768px number in the spec is misleading for future reference.

- **Upstream — Pre-existing copy.ts findings:** Proof context confirms two active issues in `website/lib/copy.ts`: stale manifesto link (`/#pipeline`) and proofFeed clickable rows reference. Not introduced by this build, not addressed by this build. Noted for context.

## Deployer Handoff

This is a website-only change — no CLI code touched, no npm publish needed. The build is cached and passes cleanly.

**What to verify after merge:**
1. Run `pnpm run build` in CI to confirm the Next.js static build succeeds (it does locally).
2. After deployment, visually check the pricing page: Team card should show an email input + "Join the waitlist" button. Individual card should still show "Install" link.
3. Submit a test email through the form to confirm Formspree integration works end-to-end (the Formspree form ID `xbdbjkkg` must be active).
4. Check mobile viewport (≤480px) for stacked layout.
5. The two dead DOM inputs (`_gotcha`, `_source`) are harmless — they'll be submitted if the form ever switches from JSON fetch to native submission, but currently they're inert.

**No environment variables or secrets involved.** The Formspree ID is a public form identifier, not a secret.

## Verdict
**Shippable:** YES

23/23 contract assertions satisfied. 15/15 ACs pass (2 partial — visual verification requires running dev server, CSS rules are correct by inspection). Build clean, tests clean, no regressions. The dead DOM inputs and hardcoded error color are debt worth knowing but not worth blocking. The implementation is clean, minimal, and follows the spec precisely without over-building.
