New scripts on ubuntu@40.160.2.121

apply-polished-heroes.py	Reads JSON output, injects polished hero block above existing hero on each product page. Idempotent marker WD_HERO_POLISH_v1.	*/5
regen-feedback-page.py	/factory/feedback/<slug>/ - per-product feedback form. Sentiment, 1-5 usefulness, free-text message, optional email.	50 hourly
feedback-route.js + patch-api-add-feedback-stripe.py	Adds /api/feedback (POST capture, GET admin-gated read) and /api/stripe-webhook (placeholder validating signatures when STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET is set, logs unsigned for inspection).	one-time
regen-sitemap-v2.py	Replacement sitemap that includes catalog, pricing, fresh, compare, outreach-launcher, operator-partnership, honest, plus per-product index, pricing, faq, case-studies, about, for, vs, security, plus unlock pages.	55 hourly

Live URLs

• https://wishdeal.com/factory/feedback/<slug>/ - 172 feedback pages live. Submits to /api/feedback.
• https://wishdeal.com/factory/api/feedback - LIVE feedback endpoint. POST captures sentiment + usefulness + message + email. JSONL at /home/ubuntu/factory/inbox/feedback.jsonl. GET requires admin key.
• https://wishdeal.com/factory/api/stripe-webhook - LIVE placeholder webhook receiver. Logs all payloads to stripe-webhook.jsonl. When STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET env var is set, validates signatures and on checkout.session.completed mints dossier token + queues fulfillment record.
• 4 of 10 top products have polished hero blocks live (more landing every ~3-5 min as Claude CLI completes).
• 10 vanilla products got per-product brand override applied.

Sitemap

Regenerated with 723 URLs (up from ~150 in the older sitemap). Includes pricing, fresh, compare, outreach-launcher, operator-partnership, honest, all 172 product pages with their sub-pages, and 172 unlock pages. Excluded: admin/, api/, repair-queue/.

Stripe webhook architecture (placeholder, ready for keys)

When Wes wires Stripe:

1. Set STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET env var on factory-api service
2. Set FACTORY_FROM_EMAIL env var
3. Add Postmark/SendGrid integration in the mintAndSend block (TODO comment in code)
4. Add https://wishdeal.com/factory/api/stripe-webhook as the webhook endpoint in Stripe dashboard

The receiver already:

• Validates Stripe signature (HMAC-SHA256 of t.payload)
• Parses checkout.session.completed
• Mints dossier token via existing mintDossierToken()
• Logs fulfillment record to dossier-fulfillment.jsonl

The only thing missing is the email-send call. That's a 5-line addition once Wes picks SendGrid/Postmark.

Buyer flow now (post-iter5)

1. Browse free at /factory/, /factory/catalog/, /factory/fresh/
2. Compare ideas at /factory/compare/ (shortlist via localStorage)
3. Land on a product page → see polished hero (if top 10), per-product brand override (if was vanilla), pricing band with 4 tiers, Hero Insight ("Who this is for / not for / what you'd adopt"), FAQ link
4. Click "Unlock dossier $5" → unlock page with detailed teaser → email-capture form
5. Email captured → JSONL at intent-capture.jsonl → Wes runs mint-dossier-link.sh <slug> and emails URL
6. Buyer reads gated dossier at /factory/api/dossier/<slug>?t=<token> (markdown or HTML)
7. Buyer drops feedback at /factory/feedback/<slug>/ → JSONL at feedback.jsonl
8. WHEN STRIPE WIRES: same flow, but step 5-6 automate. Webhook → mint → email.

What still needs work

• Stripe wiring still needs Wes's keys.
• Email-send integration (Postmark/SendGrid) for the auto-fulfill path.
• Hero polish CLI is finishing in background; cron applies as they land. Should run on next 10 (top 11-20) in subsequent iterations.
• Brand applicator has 11 vanilla products left to address.
• Captures admin could surface feedback too (right now only intent captures).

Next 5 recommended autonomous tasks

1. Captures + Feedback unified admin. Merge /factory/admin/captures/ to also show /api/feedback data. Per-product unified view: who captured intent, who left feedback, sentiment trend.
2. Hero polish next 10. Run hero-polish-cli.py 20 to push polish to top 20.
3. Brand applicator on remaining 11 vanilla. Just runs the cron more aggressively or once with N=11.
4. Operator inbox. A /factory/admin/inbox/ that shows: intent captures + feedback + Stripe webhook events + dossier-fulfillment events, all on one timeline. Becomes Wes's daily morning page.
5. Send-dossier-from-admin. Add a button in /factory/admin/captures/ that opens mailto: with the email pre-filled and the dossier link pre-filled (mints token via JS calling /api/mint-token with admin-key).
