What shipped

New scripts on ubuntu@40.160.2.121

File	Purpose	Cron
event-route.js + patch-api-add-event.py	Adds /api/event POST endpoint to factory-api. Records page views, audio plays, share clicks. JSONL at /home/ubuntu/factory/inbox/events.jsonl.	one-time
event-tracker-injector.py	Injects 1KB JS on every product page that POSTs {slug, type:"view"} to /api/event. Throttled to 10 min/slug per browser. Skips bots.	48,18
launch-announcement.md	Draft launch post for LinkedIn / Twitter / HN / Substack. Multi-channel versions included. Honest framing throughout.	static
SESSION-MASTER.md	Single-page summary of all 14 iterations. Links every ship log. Lists every API + page + cron + Wes-action-needed item.	static

Live URLs

• POST https://wishdeal.com/factory/api/event - LIVE event tracking endpoint
• 176 product pages now ping /api/event on view (with bot filter + 10-min throttle)
• https://wishdeal.com/factory/log/LAUNCH-ANNOUNCEMENT-DRAFT.md - LIVE launch draft (publicly readable; can move private if desired)
• https://wishdeal.com/factory/log/SESSION-MASTER.md - LIVE session master log

URL scrubber

Re-ran url-scrubber.py to clean up the latest typo'd URLs that crept in. Modified 1 file with 25 replacements.

Link audit: 94 → 75 broken (was at 73 in iter 9; some typo regressions cleaned up).

Hero polish

Hero polish 150 still running in background. 129/150 complete. Cron applies as more land.

Cumulative numbers (end of iter 14)

• 49+ buyer-facing or admin pages live
• 6 Node API routes (intent, dossier, mint-token, feedback, stripe-webhook, event)
• 3 Wes-side CLIs + Friday newsletter + launch announcement
• All 178 products have full buyer-path artifacts
• 159/178 with brand identity
• 100/178 with polished hero copy (top 100), 129 in flight
• 50/178 with /vs/ comparison pages
• 172 OG images + 1 catalog OG card
• Repair queue: 96% avg complete, 93/177 fully complete
• 75 broken internal links (down from 143 at iter 7 start)
• ~91 active cron entries
• 6 real intent captures (all internal verification + tests) + 2 feedback + several test events

What's now better

1. Page-view tracking is live. Every product page logs visits. Operator inbox can later surface "most viewed in last 7 days" once data accumulates.
2. Wes has a launch post draft ready. When the buyer path is fully live (Stripe wired + email-send), he can post on LinkedIn/Substack/HN with a 2-minute remix.
3. Single-page SESSION-MASTER.md tells him everything. Catches him up in 5 minutes vs scanning 14 ship logs.
4. 75 broken links down from 94 last iter. URL scrubber catches new typos automatically.

What still needs work

• Stripe wiring - infrastructure 100% ready; needs Wes's keys.
• Email-send for auto-fulfill - Postmark/SendGrid integration, ~5 lines.
• First real customer flow - depends on Wes pushing traffic.
• Hero polish 130-150 in flight.
• Per-product view-count surfacing in operator inbox - data starts accumulating now; feature is next iter.

Next 5 recommended autonomous tasks

1. Hero polish 130-150 finish + start 151-200.
2. Operator inbox v2 with view counts - aggregate events.jsonl into per-product view counts in last 7 days.
3. Stripe wiring when keys arrive.
4. First curated email batch - Wes runs mint-batch-emails.sh with a real recipients.csv from his SC tenant list.
5. Substack / Twitter / LinkedIn draft post - take launch-announcement.md and customize for one channel + actually post.
