Iteration 21 ship log

Steady-state iteration

The buyer-path foundation is genuinely complete after iter 1-20. This iteration is steady-state monitoring + bringing new products up to spec.

Status check

• 182 products in catalog (up 2 since iter 20)
• Director still ticking (PID 3984283), 12 products modified in last 45 min
• 0 real intent captures (still no Wes-side traffic push)
• System health: 34/34 passing, avg 16-28ms
• All 8 buyer-path markers present on the most-recent product (campaign-budget-ai): pricing band, hero insight, OG meta, JSON-LD, share buttons, more-like-this, recent tracker, event tracker

What I did

Ran every per-product generator manually to catch up new products immediately (instead of waiting for cron):

• 181 adopt-tier pages refreshed
• 181 feedback pages refreshed
• 175 case-studies (6 hand-written preserved)
• 50 /vs/ comparison pages (top 50)
• 181 OG image SVGs
• All admin dashboards regenerated (public stats, morning briefing, Friday digest, categories, archetypes)
• Health check: 34/34 passing

Verified working

The buyer-path infrastructure is self-maintaining for new products. When the Director ships a new product, the cron entries automatically:

1. Inject pricing band, hero insight, share buttons, JSON-LD, OG meta, more-like-this, recent tracker, event tracker (within ~30 min)
2. Generate adopt/, feedback/, case-studies/, FAQ subpages (within hours)
3. Update sitemap, catalog, categories, archetypes (within ~30 min)
4. Update OG image (within ~30 min)
5. Add to repair queue + view-counts pipeline

This means the Director can keep shipping new products indefinitely and they all auto-equip. No manual intervention needed for the buyer-path layer.

What's pending Wes-side (unchanged from iter 20)

1. Stripe wiring - 30 min via /factory/log/STRIPE-SETUP.md
2. Email-send for auto-fulfill - 5 lines after Stripe
3. First real traffic push via mint-batch-emails.sh ~/recipients.csv
