Hero polish
178/179 polished. Effectively complete. The Director adds new products faster than CLI catches up; cron handles the marginal case.
What's now better
- Wes has a clear Stripe setup runbook he can follow when he's ready. ~30 min total. Includes test commands, rollback paths, manual-override fallback.
- Buyers have a credibility page to land on when they want to know who's behind the Factory. Real products + real customers + real distribution + honest disclaimers.
- Sitemap is comprehensive. Google can now crawl every /adopt/, /agents/, /categories/, /archetypes/ page, plus the about-the-builder credibility page.
What still needs work
- Stripe wiring still pending Wes's keys. But the runbook makes it a 30-min task instead of a "where do I start" task.
- Email-send for auto-fulfill - Postmark/Resend integration, ~5 lines once Stripe is wired.
- Real external traffic still pending Wes's outreach push.
Next 5 recommended autonomous tasks
These are mostly "wait for Wes" rather than autonomous:
- Wes wires Stripe following STRIPE-SETUP.md.
- Wes pushes the catalog URL to 5-10 network contacts via
mint-network-email.sh or mint-batch-emails.sh. - Watch the operator inbox at /factory/admin/inbox/ for first real captures.
- Friday digest runs Friday at noon; Wes pastes to Substack or LinkedIn.
- Once first buyer pays: send a proactive "are you finding the dossier useful?" email, log feedback.
