Session Handoff — Virtual Restyle: research → PRD → roast RESHAPE → Phase 1 re-home off Lovable (DONE, verified)

Where it started

Sondra wanted deep research on her shelved Lovable app virtualrestyle.com (AI virtual staging for real estate) — what competitors do better, why she lost confidence (whole-image regeneration on edits), and MLS rules. It grew into: PRD → /roast → reshaped v2 plan → Fable Phase 1 build executed this session. She is non-technical; explain before doing; checkpoints before money/external actions.

Decisions locked + what shipped

• Roast verdict = RESHAPE (high confidence) — c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\roast-verdict-2026-07-04.md. Sondra then locked: lead with MLS compliance (not staging); audience = real estate agents via Facebook/Reddit/brokerages/FSBO (NOT her Skool — she confirmed it was never the audience); pricing = never-expiring prepaid credits; targeted editing = quality bar not headline; white-label resale = Phase 2, rebuilt in Base44 (her resale rights run through Base44), not built now — current build only keeps branding tidy.
• PRD v2 (reshaped) — c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\PRD-virtual-restyle-relaunch.md + .html (HTML matches v2). Includes Phase 0 gate: 48-hour distribution test (stage 5 real listings free in an agent channel) before building the last 30%.
• Repo found + cloned — AmplifAI-Your-Business/testvirtualrestyle requires GITHUB_ORG_TOKEN (NOT GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, which 404s on org repos). ACCESS-MAP updated with this. Clone lives at c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\app\ (~70% built: React/Vite/Supabase, Stripe, quota RPC, watermark).
• Phase 1 EXECUTED and verified end-to-end (uncommitted): stage-room edge function rewritten to call Gemini directly (GEMINI_API_KEY, model env-overridable via GEMINI_IMAGE_MODEL, default gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview); Google login swapped to supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth (Lovable auth package + src/integrations/lovable/ + lovable-tagger removed); send-transactional-email rewritten to send via Resend (from noreply@sondraverva.com, feedback goes to srverva@gmail.com); .env gitignored + untracked; og:image swapped off Lovable R2 to /og-image.jpg; checkout/portal origin fallbacks → virtualrestyle.com.
• New Supabase project (FREE org, $0/mo) — project ref uyloerfniphfxjvnuwmn in org "FREE Projects" (foeliowlfikzqfwyxcst). All 27 migrations applied (script: scratchpad apply_migrations.py, needed a User-Agent header to pass Cloudflare). 6 edge functions deployed via supabase.exe CLI (/c/Users/srver/AppData/Local/Programs/cli-bin/supabase.exe, --use-api): stage-room, check-subscription, create-checkout, customer-portal, send-transactional-email, handle-email-unsubscribe. Secrets set: GEMINI_API_KEY, RESEND_API_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY. App .env rewritten to new project URL + anon key. mailer_autoconfirm=true enabled for testing. supabase/config.toml project_id updated.
• End-to-end proof: signed up test user srverva+vrtest1@gmail.com / VrTest!2026#Phase1, staged Living Room/Modern via her Gemini key, quota 0→1, DB row + storage confirmed by SQL, MLS 1024×768 download worked. Screenshots: c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\verification\.
• Memory written: project_virtual_restyle_relaunch.md + MEMORY.md index entry (before Phase 1 execution; still accurate on strategy).
• Also this session: deep-research brief PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\research\virtual-restyle-market-research-2026-07-03.html + Sondra Brain\raw\2026-07-03-virtual-restyle-competitor-deep-research.md; the app she remembered = Roomstage AI (MLS-compliance autopilot); her Reddit thread (r/RealEstatePhotography 1r6q84g) confirmed $0.06/image wrapper resentment.

Key files for next session

• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\PRD-virtual-restyle-relaunch.md — read first; v2 is the locked plan (phases, scope, decisions table).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\FABLE-BUILD-PROMPT.md — full-build prompt (v2, compliance-led); FABLE-PHASE-1-PROMPT.md — the Phase 1 prompt that was executed this session.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\app\ — the working codebase (uncommitted changes).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\Virtual Restyle\roast-verdict-2026-07-04.md — why the plan is shaped this way.
• Memory: C:\Users\srver\.claude\projects\c--Users-srver-AIOS-Workspace-aios-starter-kit\memory\project_virtual_restyle_relaunch.md.

Running state

• Background process: bby5mc34g — npm run dev (Vite) in PROJECTS/Virtual Restyle/app, serving http://localhost:8080. Kill via TaskStop on that ID or close the shell.
• Playwright MCP browser session open on localhost:8080 (logged in as the test user). Stale-profile fix if "browser already in use": kill chrome processes with ms-playwright-mcp in the command line (PowerShell Stop-Process).
• Open branches/worktrees: none (app repo on main, uncommitted working tree).

Verification — how to confirm things still work

• Open http://localhost:8080/auth → sign in srverva+vrtest1@gmail.com / VrTest!2026#Phase1 → upload app\src\assets\before-vacant.jpg → Living Room + Modern → Stage This Room → staged result in ~30s, counter increments. (If dev server dead: cd "PROJECTS/Virtual Restyle/app" && npm run dev.)
• cd "PROJECTS/Virtual Restyle/app" && npm run build — clean build, no Lovable deps.
• Supabase MCP execute_sql on project uyloerfniphfxjvnuwmn: select * from public.stagings — rows exist.
• git -C "PROJECTS/Virtual Restyle/app" status — shows the uncommitted Phase 1 changes.

Deferred + open questions

• Open (was the live question when session ended): commit the Phase 1 changes to AmplifAI-Your-Business/testvirtualrestyle and/or deploy to Cloudflare? Options offered: "commit and deploy" / "just commit" / "straight to Phase 2". No answer yet. Commit needs GITHUB_ORG_TOKEN for push.
• Open: her database password for the new project — she has it, was told to paste it in chat to store as SUPABASE_VIRTUALRESTYLE_DB_PASSWORD in master .env. Never provided.
• Open: Phase 0 distribution test (48-hr, stage 5 real listings free, compliance-led) — locked in PRD as the gate before building the last 30%; not run. Offered to draft the FB/Reddit post in her voice; no answer.
• Deferred: Google OAuth provider setup (Supabase dashboard + Google Cloud client, ~10 min of her clicks) — folded into Phase 3; email/password works now.
• Deferred: mailer_autoconfirm ON for testing — revisit at launch. Stripe checkout untested on purpose (Phase 3 rebuilds pricing to credit packs). Free Supabase project pauses after ~1 week idle — graduate to paid org at launch.
• Deferred: CEO Dashboard project card for Virtual Restyle (offered twice, unanswered). Old Lovable Supabase project spfgqgoakyvtjyywpmtw still exists on Lovable's side — untouched, is the rollback.
• Phase 2 (next build phase per PRD): targeted non-destructive edit loop + suggestion chips + structure-guard + declutter. Phase 2 of the business = Base44 white-label rebuild (separate track, not started).

Pick up here

Get Sondra's answer on commit/deploy (likely "just commit" then straight to Phase 2), commit the Phase 1 changes to the org repo with GITHUB_ORG_TOKEN, then start PRD Phase 2 (targeted editing + suggestion chips) — and nudge the Phase 0 distribution test before the last 30% gets built.
