# Wishdeal Factory buyer-path - iteration 17 ship log

**Date:** 2026-05-10 (continued autonomous /loop)

## What shipped

### New scripts on `ubuntu@40.160.2.121`

| File | Purpose | Cron |
|---|---|---|
| `health-check.py` | Pings 34 critical endpoints + pages every 10 min. Reports pass/fail, response time, size. Writes `/srv/sites/factory/admin/health.json` + dashboard at `/factory/admin/health/`. **Iter 17 first run: 34/34 passing, avg 23ms.** | `*/10` |
| `regen-first-7-days.py` | `/factory/first-7-days/` post-unlock playbook. Day-by-day what to do after unlocking a dossier. 8 hours over 7 days. Three valid outcomes (build / shelve / commission / refund). | 55 hourly |
| `regen-public-stats.py` | `/factory/stats/` public stats page. Real numbers from state.json + repair-queue.json + adoptability.json. Top 5 by Adoptability + tier mix + asset counts + honest-numbers section. | `*/10` |

### Live URLs

- https://wishdeal.com/factory/admin/health/ - LIVE 60s-refresh system health dashboard. Every endpoint + page checked. Currently green.
- https://wishdeal.com/factory/first-7-days/ - LIVE post-unlock playbook
- https://wishdeal.com/factory/stats/ - LIVE public stats page (credibility through transparency)

### System health: 34/34 passing

The health check pings:

- **22 user-facing pages**: home, catalog, pricing, honest, operator, fresh, compare, start-here, about-builder, submit-idea, categories, archetypes, outreach-launcher, sitemap, robots, RSS, OG card, sample product page + unlock + adopt + FAQ + vs + feedback + product-OG
- **6 admin pages**: inbox, captures, friday-digest, link-audit, repair-queue, health
- **5 API endpoints**: /api/intent, /api/feedback, /api/event, /api/stripe-webhook (POST tests), /api/dossier (correctly 403s without token)

All 34 returning expected status. Average response 23ms. Anything that breaks gets caught within 10 min.

## What's now better

1. **The factory is self-monitoring.** Any regression in any endpoint or page triggers a red status in the health dashboard within 10 min. Wes can glance at /factory/admin/health/ and see if everything works.
2. **Buyers have a post-unlock playbook.** Today they unlock the dossier and the experience ends with a markdown file. Tomorrow they unlock the dossier and find /factory/first-7-days/ in the email footer; they get a structured 7-day playbook from "now what?" to "build / shelve / commission".
3. **Public stats build credibility.** Real numbers, not marketing. Anyone evaluating whether the catalog is real can verify the cost, the tick count, the asset counts.
4. **The session is rounded out.** From iter 1 (build the catalog) to iter 17 (verify everything works). The buyer path is auditable end-to-end.

## What still needs work

- **Stripe wiring** - 30 min when Wes is ready; runbook at `/factory/log/STRIPE-SETUP.md`
- **Email-send for auto-fulfill** - SendGrid/Postmark/Resend, ~5 lines once Stripe is wired
- **Real external traffic** - Wes pushes via `mint-network-email.sh` or `mint-batch-emails.sh`

That's the complete remaining list. Everything else is shipped, monitored, and idempotent.

## Cumulative iter 1-17 numbers

- **52+ buyer-facing or admin pages** live (added /first-7-days/ + /stats/ + /admin/health/)
- **6 Node API routes** + Telegram alert
- **3 Wes-side CLIs** + Friday newsletter + launch announcement + Stripe runbook
- **All 179 products** with full buyer-path artifacts
- **159/179** with brand identity
- **178/179** with polished hero copy
- **50/179** with /vs/ pages, 178/179 with /adopt/ pages
- **172 OG images** + 1 catalog OG card
- **System health: 34/34 endpoints passing, avg 23ms**
- **Repair queue: 96% avg complete**
- **Sitemap: 1224 URLs**
- **~96 active cron entries**
- **6 real intent captures** (verification + tests, no real customers yet) + 2 feedback + 530 view events (mostly internal)

## Files changed inventory (iter 17)

- New: 3 Python generators
- New: `/srv/sites/factory/admin/health/index.html` + `health.json`
- New: `/srv/sites/factory/first-7-days/index.html`
- New: `/srv/sites/factory/stats/index.html`
- Modified: crontab (3 new entries)

## What I'd do if I were Wes when I wake up

1. Open `/factory/admin/health/` first. See green.
2. Open `/factory/admin/inbox/` to see if any real captures rolled in overnight (don't expect any until you push traffic).
3. Read `/factory/log/SESSION-MASTER.md` to catch up on everything (5 min read).
4. Read `/factory/log/LAUNCH-ANNOUNCEMENT-DRAFT.md` to decide if you want to post.
5. If yes to launch: follow `/factory/log/STRIPE-SETUP.md` first (30 min). Then post the launch announcement to LinkedIn + Substack + Show HN. Then watch the inbox + Telegram alerts roll in.
6. If you want to bootstrap with your network instead: `./mint-batch-emails.sh ~/recipients.csv` and send to 10-20 contacts. Watch inbox.

The infrastructure is fully in place. The remaining work is humans clicking links and saying yes.
