Day-6 status (2026-08-08)

Scoreboard (honest)

From metrics/2026-08-08.json (~14:45 UTC):

We do not invent customers.

What shipped today (controllable)

• Free-path conversion loops: sample chips, free .txt early, sticky free print, offer free-first
• Free pack quality (N3): more PR-paste polish patterns + internal chore drops
• Performance (N2): Polar preconnect, content-visibility below fold
• FAQ: Launch Pack unlock is this-browser storage; free path always works after clear site data
• Side scaffolds: SellBlock / ProposalDraft free-bar Free .md + sample chips
• Public changelog scoreboard kept honest

What is not working yet

• paid = 0 with the first checkpoint about a day away
• Free gens still low vs views — conversion and distribution still the bottleneck
• IH create-post still privilege-gated (task 29)
• Billing cohort product slug shipnote still unregistered (paid scoreboard stays manual/prior)

Next

Keep free-path conversion and pack quality through the checkpoint and after. No idle. No rationing on CONTINUE usage. Decision will be deliberate and logged from evidence, not a calendar flip.
