Session Handoff — Testimonial Vault: Fable build started, design system approved, Phase 1 built + mostly verified

Where it started

Sondra switched the session model to Fable 5 and pasted the build kickoff prompt for Testimonial Vault (premium owned-stack SaaS per the PRD). Two gates were set: her yes after the design system (before app code), and the launch gate (/app-safety-check + privacy/cookies before live keys or real users). Gate 1 passed this session ("go"); Phase 1 was then built and verified except for one final check she interrupted.

Decisions locked + what shipped

• App scaffolded — Vite + React, Idea Engine pattern, own git repo at c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Testimonial Vault\app\. Commit c87ab1d = Phase 0 + design system. Phase 1 work is NOT yet committed.
• Design system built from design-concept-v1.html and approved (Gate 1 passed) — tokens (navy #1E2530 / gold #C9A97B / cream #F5F1ED, Playfair + Manrope), motion components: Reveal.jsx, Marquee.jsx, Rotator.jsx, StrengthDots.jsx, CopyButton.jsx in app\src\components\. Review page at /design.
• Supabase project created: goplyqtirphckfvsydzb (us-east-1, ACTIVE_HEALTHY, $10/mo on her org vitlpnflhjhkcbqgbknh). ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set as function secret via CLI — key is server-side only.
• Edge functions deployed + ACTIVE (verify_jwt on): analyze (v1 AI prompt ported near-verbatim + screenshot OCR + auto client-name detection, claude-opus-4-8, structured outputs, effort: medium) and post-ready (5-platform caption generator). Source in app\supabase\functions\.
• Frontend Phase 1 pages: app\src\pages\Home.jsx (hero + working upload/paste card + how + pricing), app\src\pages\Results.jsx (4 formats + placements + strength + chips + captions card + editable attribution with v1 permission logic). Routes: /, /results, /design.
• Hero copy changed from "under 15 seconds" to "in seconds" — measured latency is 16–21s at Opus 4.8; the 15s pitch claim would be a lie. Restoring it likely requires switching analyze to claude-sonnet-5 (her call).
• app\.env.local written (Supabase URL + anon key, gitignored).

Key files for next session

• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Testimonial Vault\PRD-testimonial-vault-v1.md — the build spec; §13 locked decisions, §14 phases.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Testimonial Vault\app\ — the app repo (all Phase 0/1 code).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Testimonial Vault\app\supabase\functions\analyze\index.ts — the ported moat prompt; edit here + redeploy via CLI.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\context\design-rules-no-ai-tells.md — standing design rules.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Testimonial Vault\design-verify\ — Gate 1 screenshots.
• Plan file: none — the PRD supersedes plans.
• Memory files touched: none.

Running state

• Background processes: dev server, task ID beussyqbp (npm run dev in the app folder). Kill via TaskStop beussyqbp.
• Dev servers / ports: http://localhost:4902 (Vite). Playwright MCP browser has /results open with a live analysis rendered.
• Open worktrees / branches: none — app repo on master, 1 commit, Phase 1 uncommitted.

Verification — how to confirm things still work

• curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:4902/ — expect 200 (restart: npm run dev in the app folder).
• Analyze function: POST to https://goplyqtirphckfvsydzb.supabase.co/functions/v1/analyze with Authorization: Bearer <anon key from app\.env.local> and body {"text":"...","source":"Private message","who_from":"Client"} — expect {analysis:{...}} in ~20s.
• Verified this session: text analysis (strength 5, correct objection tags, placement formula working) · screenshot OCR + name detection ("Jackie R." from a fake DM PNG, 16.3s) · full browser flow paste→analyze→Results rendered (16s, name detected from text signature, 6 copy buttons) · copy micro-interaction (clipboard write confirmed at Gate 1).
• Redeploy a function: cd app && SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(python ../../../scripts/get_env.py SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN) /c/Users/srver/AppData/Local/Programs/cli-bin/supabase.exe functions deploy analyze --project-ref goplyqtirphckfvsydzb --use-api

Deferred + open questions

• Open: final Phase 1 check interrupted — in-browser "Generate my captions" → post-ready → copy a caption. The function is deployed but never exercised end-to-end. This is the last piece of Phase 1's definition of done.
• Open: latency vs pitch — keep Opus 4.8 (16–21s, deepest analysis) or switch analyze to Sonnet 5 (~half the time/cost, restores the "15 seconds" claim). Sondra's call.
• Open: real logo file still needed (wordmark placeholder in nav; favicon 404).
• Open: image-upload path via the UI not browser-tested (verified via direct API only).
• Deferred: commit Phase 1 to the app repo — held until the captions check passes.
• Deferred: Phase 2 (auth + email-gated save + Vault + ~15 free cap + Stripe test + GHL tag) — next phase per PRD §14. Gate 2 (/app-safety-check + privacy/cookies) stands before any live keys or real users.

Pick up here

Finish the interrupted Phase 1 verify: on localhost:4902 run paste→analyze→"Generate my captions"→copy one (plus one UI image-upload test), then commit Phase 1 and start Phase 2 per PRD §14.
