Session Handoff — Why Dachshunds Digital Home: shell built, deployed, brand brain loaded, dachshund copy live

Where it started

User asked how fast she could build a website for her Why Dachshunds YouTube channel using Luke Carter's Digital Home system (not as an agency build — for herself). Over the session it became a full build: she fed in her BraveBrand Intelligence outputs, registered the domain, and greenlit building the shell. Constraint: she's non-technical — explain in plain English, handle all code/fixes silently.

Decisions locked + what shipped

• Stack = clone of Luke's Digital Home frontend starter (Next.js + Supabase + Cloudflare Workers/OpenNext + Resend). Code at c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\website\whydachshunds-frontend\
• Live preview URL: https://whydachshunds.srverva.workers.dev (Cloudflare worker name whydachshunds)
• Domain whydachshunds.com registered in Cloudflare (zone id 72de29e526527ab190c64529dab26cb7), deliberately NOT attached to the site yet (waiting until branded).
• Supabase project digital-home-whydachshunds, id kfwdlecfwbdlkkvhtrgr, region us-east-1, org vitlpnflhjhkcbqgbknh. 17 starter tables + brand_context (18 total), all migrations applied.
• Next.js pinned 16.2.4 → 15.5.19 (and eslint-config-next) in package.json — Next 16's Turbopack build broke OpenNext at runtime (500s / ChunkLoadError). This was the one real fix.
• Brand brain loaded: content-corpus/ (10 files: voice, positioning, proof, seo) in the frontend repo + 3 brand_context DB rows (author / image_style / cta links).
• Dachshund copy live on homepage, About (Meet Marley & Mia), nav, page title. Working /decoder opt-in page — captures email into leads table via POST /api/leads (verified live: 201, row created then test-deleted).
• Radar updated: all 250 dachshund videos marked DONE in Sondra Brain\wiki\dashboard.md + Sondra Brain\wiki\memory\open-questions.md.

Key files for next session

• Plan file: c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\plans\2026-06-27-why-dachshunds-website.md — read first.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\website\LUKE-NEXT-STEPS-ROADMAP.md — Luke's recommended order (design → backend → content pipeline → email → market).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\brand-intelligence\ — all BraveBrand outputs (00-README.md indexes it; 07 playbook JSON is master; 09 = lead-magnet decisions).
• ...\whydachshunds-frontend\content-corpus\ — the corpus the site AI reads.
• ...\whydachshunds-frontend\src\app\page.tsx, src\app\about\page.tsx, src\app\decoder\page.tsx, src\components\layout\NavBar.tsx, src\app\layout.tsx — the pages edited this session.
• ...\whydachshunds-frontend\.env.local (gitignored) — all keys; wrangler.jsonc has public vars + worker name.
• Memory files touched: none.

Running state

• Background processes: none (all install/deploy tasks completed; dev server bhigsrod3 and wrangler tail b96g1huj5 were stopped via TaskStop).
• Dev servers / ports: none running (local next dev was on :3000, stopped).
• Open worktrees / branches: none. The frontend folder is untracked git (cloned then .git removed attempt was denied — verify .git state; never committed/pushed yet).

Verification — how to confirm things still work

• curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://whydachshunds.srverva.workers.dev → 200 (also /about, /decoder, /blog, /llms.txt → 200)
• curl -s https://whydachshunds.srverva.workers.dev | grep -o "your dachshund does that" → match (confirms dachshund copy live)
• Opt-in: curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST https://whydachshunds.srverva.workers.dev/api/leads -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"x@example.com"}' → 201 (delete the test row after).
• Supabase tables: list_tables on project kfwdlecfwbdlkkvhtrgr → 18 tables incl. brand_context (3 rows).
• Redeploy: from ...\whydachshunds-frontend, export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=$(python ...scripts/get_env.py CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN) CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=$(...) && npm run deploy.

Deferred + open questions

• Deferred: warm cream/caramel doxie visual design — site still on the dark starter theme; user explicitly wants warm, not done yet.
• Deferred: the actual Decoder deliverable + email auto-send — /decoder captures the email but sends nothing back (Resend delivery + the 15-behavior Decoder content/PDF not built). Thank-you copy says "check your inbox" — currently misleading until built.
• Deferred: /contact, /services (now unlinked from nav), /blog (empty) still have generic starter copy.
• Deferred: attach whydachshunds.com to the worker (until branded + safety-checked).
• Open: user's pick for immediate next — warm visual design vs build the Decoder + email delivery. She was asked, hasn't answered.
• Open (older): paid offer name/price (playbook suggests "The Long-Back Safety System" or "The Doxie Decoder Academy"); email-list home (Resend wired as infra, but she said she's "not deciding anything yet").
• Note: never run /app-safety-check-skipping launch — privacy policy + cookie consent + FTC affiliate disclosure required before attaching the real domain / going public.

Pick up here

Ask which she chose — warm doxie visual redesign, or build the Behavior Decoder content + Resend delivery — then execute that; do not attach whydachshunds.com or go public until branded + /app-safety-check passes.
