it takes 33 minutes to test
[ASSISTANT]
Just checked, the queue is **empty right now** (0 jobs in every status). So it's not that one test inherently takes 33 minutes. Here's what actually happened:
**The worker is single-lane, it processes one job at a time.** A few minutes ago I caught it grinding through a batch of **council_fix** jobs (atb, 7-day-content, self-improve, site-polish...). Each council_fix calls 3 LLMs (Opus + Codex + Kimi), ~60-90 seconds each. So a batch of those hogs the worker for 20-30+ minutes, and your one quick TEST (which should take ~20 seconds) sat at the back of that line. That's your 33 minutes: not the test, the queue in front of it.
**The fix: give TEST a fast lane.** A cheap grade should never wait behind expensive council runs. Concretely:
- Worker processes quick jobs (test, keep, archive) FIRST each poll, council_fix/autofix last, OR
- Run council_fix on a separate process so the test lane is always responsive.
So a single TEST returns in ~20s no matter what else is running.
Timing note: I'm holding that perf fix for one minute because **Dan is editing the exact same worker file right now** (the constraint fix). Running two agents on `skill_worker.py` at once would clash. The second his constraint fix lands and proves out, I dispatch the fast-lane fix on the same file. Both ship back to back.
So the answer to "why 33 minutes": single-lane worker + a slow council batch ahead of you. Real fix incoming, sequenced so it doesn't collide.

why did you name this merlino engine if I already has something called that stupid fuck?
[ASSISTANT]
Done for now, and one thing from you to finish it clean.
**Working right now:**
- Desktop shortcut is renamed to **"Mastra Test"** (old "Merlino Engine" shortcut deleted). It opens a terminal in the project and runs `/resume`. Confirmed.
**Still blocked:** the physical folder is still named `merlino-engine` because Windows has a lock on it. Two `mv`/`move` attempts both returned "being used by another process." That lock is almost always one of:
- a **File Explorer window you have open** on that folder (likely, since you've been clicking the shortcut), or
- Windows Defender scanning the fresh git clone (clears on its own in a minute).
**Your move:** close any Explorer window or editor showing `F:\Projects\products\merlino-engine`, then say "go." I'll rename the folder to `mastra-test` in one shot, repoint the shortcut and the doc paths, and confirm. I'm not going to keep yanking on a locked folder while you watch.
If you'd rather I just leave the folder name and only keep the "Mastra Test" label (which already works), say that instead and I'll drop it.

make the left menu open and close pleaes and add light/dark toggle pelase
[ASSISTANT]
Dispatched to Hetzner. Adding:
1. **Collapsible left menu** — toggle to hide/show the project sidebar, state persists.
2. **Light/dark toggle** — light stays the default (your rule), dark is the opt-in, themed properly across cards + sidebar + stats.
Nothing else touched: summaries, project folders, data, gate all stay. Runs on Hetzner so **you can close the terminal**. Queen screenshots all four states (sidebar open/closed, light/dark) and sends them to your Telegram + Discord. When it's back, I do my own check on the live site before calling it good, and bounce it if either toggle is broken or it regressed v1.
Next from me: Telegram images of the toggles working, or an honest break report.

what is happening right now
[ASSISTANT]
While Dan fixes that, the other thing you flagged just landed:
**`/xp` fixed (verified):**
- **paperclip is gone** (21 non-skills dropped total: paperclip + commands like wrap/sync/pause that aren't real SKILL.md skills). New #1 is `browse` (550 XP, a real skill). Confirmed by parsing the live data: paperclip count = 0.
- **Filters added:** search, domain (17 domains), rarity, Live/Dead, sort. Plus a **Quality Score column next to XP** and a **"Needs Attention" sort** that surfaces high-usage low-quality skills, the actually-useful view you wanted.
**TEST button:** root cause confirmed (DB constraint missing `test`), Dan's fixing the constraint now. The gate is him clicking TEST for real and showing it actually grades, so you'll get proof it works, not "should be fixed."
So to be clear on what was wrong: the backend was never broken, the worker's been healthy and grading the whole time. It was one missing value in a database rule that made the button error out silently. That's why "nothing happened." Fix incoming, I'll confirm with a live grade.

[USER]
Fair catch by the gate. Let me restate honestly.
NOT DONE. Nothing is built or verified yet. What actually happened:
- Dispatched Carlos as a background subagent (agentId confirmed, "Async agent launched successfully"). That's the only verified fact.
- The hook, helper script, rule, tests, Hetzner build, /sync, Discord/Telegram notify, and the subdomain answer are all still pending. Carlos hasn't
reported back.
VERIFICATION: NONE yet (dispatch confirmed, deliverable in progress)
So the accurate version of my last message: this terminal's orchestration step is handed off, but the work isn't done. You can still close this
terminal, the job runs on Hetzner independent of it, and you'll get the Discord + Telegram ping with proof when Carlos actually finishes. I'll have
his delivery report (with Queen's evidence) waiting here too.

DELIVERED: session-deck-v1 enhancements (bigger cards + AI summaries + project folder sidebar)

DISCORD: sent (#deploys, HTTP 204)
VERIFICATION: VISUAL (Steel cloud browser, 2 screenshots of live gated site)
What shipped:
- Bigger cards: min-height 180px, padding 1.5rem, summary as bold 1rem/700 title, first-message as secondary 0.75rem text
- AI summaries: 1101 sessions summarized (real distinct 1-liners), stored in `sessiondeck_sessions.summary` column in Supabase. Daily 4am Hetzner cron covers new sessions going forward (incremental, never re-summarizes).
- Project folder sidebar: "PROJECTS" section with "All Sessions" + 192 scrollable project folders each with a count badge. Clicking a folder filters the grid. Status filters (All/Active/Today/Stale) kept below. Stat cards row intact.
- v1 purple theme preserved. No em dashes. Resume button intact.
One honest flag: Anthropic billing on the Hetzner fleet keys was empty (400 "credit balance too low"), so the backfill routed through OpenRouter (same model: claude-haiku-4.5, same prompt, ~$0.03 total). The native Anthropic Batch API path is in the script and ready once the Anthropic keys are topped up.</result>

**Stats fixed** (commit `53a0fa4`, VERIFICATION: API). The cards stuck at 6/9/57d now read the `mac-main` profile:
- `/__hermes_memory`: `sessionCount` **690** (was 9), `skillCount` 43
- `/__hermes_sessions`: 204-item list, newest `lastUpdated 2026-06-20T19:41:56` (was "57d ago")
- Endpoints fixed: `server-prod.ts:447` (status), plus `vite.config.ts` `/__hermes_memory`, `/__hermes_sessions`, `/__hermes_session`
- Live: HTTP 302
**One honest nit** (not a regression, just a mismatch): the home page reads **843** (aggregator counts every `*.json` in the profile, including `request_dump_cron_*` files) while the Hermes page reads **690** (real session files only). Both are now live profile data, both far better than 6/9, but they disagree by the cron-dump files. Want me to reconcile to one number? I'd make the aggregator match the endpoint's "real sessions only" 690, which is the more honest figure. One-line follow-up if yes.
**Still running:** Picasso (images to staging) and matteo-jr (Hermes mirror plus cron). I'll fold Picasso's images into a final commit when staging is ready, and paste matteo-jr's repo plus cron evidence when it lands. VERIFICATION on those: none yet, still in progress.

Three teams still running, file-disjoint:
- 🔵 **Carlos (stats)** — fixing the live `/__hermes_*` endpoints so Sessions/Messages/Models/Last-active read the `mac-main` profile (843), not the top-level stub (6/9). Dashboard repo.
- 🟣 **Picasso (images)** — regenerating off-style art in your fleet-lux style to the staging folder.
- 🟢 **matteo-jr (mirror)** — completing the full `~/.hermes` → `hermes-mirror` repo + daily cron on the Mac.
**Landed so far (evidence above):** commit `fbe384b` fixed the memory display (1627/4489 charcounts, was 0/0) and the skill count/label (43, "Hermes skills"). VERIFICATION: API.
I'll report each remaining team's pasted evidence as it returns, then run the final image-drop commit once Picasso's staging is ready. Nothing else claimed done yet.

Project is stood up. Deploy + visual verification is running in the background (the band is shipping it per the build gate); I'll confirm the moment it lands. Here is what is in place now.
**Project (canonical): `F:\Projects\tools\discovery-lab\`**
- `CLAUDE.md` (state + architecture), `DESIGN.md` (design system + taxonomy), `ROADMAP.md`, `README.md`, `.planning/.continue-here.md` (resume point)
- `public/index.html` (dashboard, source of truth) + `public/discovery.json`
- `cli/discovery.py` (engine) + `cli/deploy.sh`
- `assets/` radar logo (`.ico`/`.png`) + Namecheap DNS backup
- Desktop launcher: **Discovery Lab.lnk** with the radar logo, opens the project to resume
**Dashboard upgrades (built into index.html)**
- **Categories**: sidebar Category filter + a colored category chip on every card (Local/Maps, E-E-A-T, On-Page, Technical, Links, AI Search/GEO, AI Agents, LLM, Image/Video, Dev/Infra, Content/Social). Derived client-side for now; `discovery.py` will own it server-side on resume.
- **Pipeline checklist** per card (your to-do list): Synthesized -> In memory -> Skill? -> Resource -> Tool/MCP, with a progress bar, filter (needs-triage / processed), and sort. Persists in the browser now; server-side persistence + wiring each step to the real action (brain inject, skill-test, vault, tool build) is the top resume item.
- **Discord link** slot on each card (lights up once `discovery.py` emits the message permalink). It already links out to the article/source.
**Subdomain: https://discovery.merlinoai.com**
- DNS added safely. Important correction: merlinoai.com runs on **Namecheap**, not Cloudflare. I read all 39 existing records first, then re-submitted 40 (added `discovery` A -> 76.76.21.21, matching brain/sessions). Backup saved. Vercel custom domain attached and verified.
- One flag: that subdomain is **publicly readable** (Vercel Pro cannot login-gate a production custom domain). You asked to subdomain it, so I did. Say the word and I will put Cloudflare Access (Google SSO) in front of it.
Memory updated. Resume scope captured in ROADMAP + `.continue-here.md`. Standing by for the deploy/visual-verify result, then you are clear to pause and resume.

DELIVERED: 3 bug fixes to Claude OS dashboard (Hermes memory, skill count, hero image)
COMMIT: fbe384b
AGGREGATE LINE: `[aggregate] hermes: 843 sessions / 43 skills / 40 personas / last active 13h ago`
MEMORY CURL (http://127.0.0.1:8081/__hermes_memory):
- `user.charCount`: 1627 (expected ~1641, real file is 1627 bytes - non-zero, content loaded from mac-main profile)
- `memory.charCount`: 4489 (expected ~4547, real file is 4489 bytes - non-zero, content loaded from mac-main profile)
SKILL COUNT: 43 (confirmed in aggregate log and curl response)
LIVE HEALTH: https://claude-os.imerlino.com/ returns HTTP 302 (Cloudflare Access redirect, expected)
VERIFICATION: CODE (typecheck exit 0) + API (memory charCounts confirmed non-zero, skillCount 43)
Changes applied:
- `vite.config.ts`: `__hermes_memory` handler reads `active_profile` marker and falls back to `profiles/mac-main/memories/` when top-level `memories/` has no USER.md/MEMORY.md. Same active-profile resolution added to skill count block.
- `scripts/aggregate.ts`: `resolveHermesSkillsDir()` helper added (mirrors `resolveHermesSessionsDir`). `gatherHermes()` uses it for skill count (41 -> 43) and applies the same active-profile fallback for memory file reads.
- `server-prod.ts`: `serveHermesStatus()` skill count resolves active-profile `skills/` dir.
- `src/routes/agents.hermes.tsx`: Memory section meta now shows "Hermes skills" instead of "skills". `skillsHero` import changed from `@/assets/hermes-art/_skills-hero.png` to `@/assets/skills/skills-hero.png`.</result>

you dont build antying oliver do yu get the PRD together (musical score) with the domain leads then send off to carlos to conduct it (#always) which also, putting the default rules, means you don't work out of this Claude dev folder ever. When we do this, we set up it gets done on Hetzner Mac.
Even if we are working local, new project folder and F drive must be set up. You do all that, you let me know, and then we take it from there, right?
But send this to the Hetzner, dawg. I ain't trying to do all this on here. I'm trying to get off my PC. My mission right now is to help close out all these terminals and turn my computer off and wake up and see a bunch of work done. That's what I'd like to try to do. It's 10:35. Let's see if that's possible.
I got about 15 terminals open.
[ASSISTANT]
Dispatched. Carlos is conducting it in the background, routing the build to Hetzner via tmux so it survives this PC shutting down.
**This terminal is done. You can close it.**
What's handled while you sleep:
- Carlos calls Dan to write the eng section + build the hook, helper, and rule
- Queen QAs with real evidence (must prove it catches awesome-design-md as already-installed)
- Source lands in `F:/Projects/fleet/inbound-repo-precheck`, never ClaudeDev
- Built/tested on Hetzner, then `/sync`'d to the fleet
- The mystery design-md subdomain gets hunted down and logged (or confirmed nonexistent, no fake URLs)
**You'll wake up to:** a Discord ping (Merlino server) + a Telegram message with what shipped, proof of the test runs, and the subdomain answer.
It's 10:35. Go close the other 14. This one's off your plate.

Three teams running in parallel now:
| Team | Agent | Scope | Writes to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔵 Carlos (in flight) | memory + skills + hero fix | dashboard endpoints | `claude-os` repo |
| 🟣 Picasso | regen off-style images in your fleet-lux style | image staging | outside repo (no collision) |
| 🟢 matteo-jr | full Hermes→GitHub mirror + daily cron | `hermes-mirror` + Mac crontab |
They are file-disjoint, so no git races.
**Queued as the next coordinated pass** (fires once Carlos's current pass lands, since it edits the same files):
- the **active-profile stat fix** for the cards still showing wrong numbers (Sessions 6, "9 sessions · 41 skills", Last active 57d, Models 1, Messages 18) at the live `/__hermes_*` endpoints, so the Hermes page matches the real 843 / recent / real models
- **drop in Picasso's regenerated images** in the same commit
On the SOUL.md you pasted ("update all this"): the dashboard showing it empty/0% is the display bug Carlos is fixing right now (it will surface the real `mac-main` USER/MEMORY/SOUL once deployed). If you also want the SOUL *content itself* rewritten (it currently reads as the old "Herm / Mac Studio" identity), tell me what it should say and I'll have it edited, that is a content change, not a display fix.
I'll report back with pasted evidence as each team lands, then run the coordinated stat+image pass. Nothing is claimed done yet.

Checked. Here's the honest picture, then the actual fix.
## What's true
- **You already have it.** `awesome-design-md` is cloned at `D:/Ecosystem/sources/design-skills/awesome-design-md/`, dated **2026-05-28**. It's even documented in your `design-sources-and-verification.md` rule as a reference repo. So not "today," but yes, already installed weeks ago.
- **The subdomain:** I could **not** find a design-md subdomain in your inventory (`reference_merlinoai-subdomain-inventory.md`) or the wiki. So either it's live on a subdomain that never got logged, or it's mixed up with another design site. I'm not going to fake a URL. If you remember roughly what it was called I'll confirm it in 10 seconds.
## Why memory "failed" (it didn't, I did)
The fact **was stored**. The problem is I evaluated your GitHub drop as if it were new instead of **querying first**. Memory is useless if nothing triggers the lookup at the right moment. A GitHub link is exactly that trigger and I skipped it.
## The fix (this is the real ask)
Make "do we already have this?" **deterministic, not dependent on me remembering**:
1. **A `UserPromptSubmit` hook** that fires whenever a `github.com/...` URL appears in your message. It auto-runs the check (grep `sources/`, `skills/`, the subdomain inventory, and `brain-query`) and injects the result into my context **before I answer**. So I literally can't respond without first seeing "already cloned 2026-05-28, here's where." Same pattern as your score-gate and completion-gate hooks.
2. **Backed by a one-line behavior rule** in `~/.claude/rules/`: "On any inbound repo/tool link, report install status FIRST (local + brain + subdomain), THEN evaluate." This is the enforcement spine behind your existing "evaluate inbound for adoption" rule, which currently has no trigger.
The hook is the part that actually fixes it. The rule alone is just hoping I behave; the hook makes the check mandatory.
Want me to build the hook + rule? It's config, I can do it directly. And tell me the subdomain name if it rings a bell so I can log it properly this time.

Don't name it Merlino Engine, name it fucking Mastro so I know what I'm testing, fucking idiot.
[ASSISTANT]
Done for now, and one thing from you to finish it clean.
**Working right now:**
- Desktop shortcut is renamed to **"Mastra Test"** (old "Merlino Engine" shortcut deleted). It opens a terminal in the project and runs `/resume`. Confirmed.
**Still blocked:** the physical folder is still named `merlino-engine` because Windows has a lock on it. Two `mv`/`move` attempts both returned "being used by another process." That lock is almost always one of:
- a **File Explorer window you have open** on that folder (likely, since you've been clicking the shortcut), or
- Windows Defender scanning the fresh git clone (clears on its own in a minute).
**Your move:** close any Explorer window or editor showing `F:\Projects\products\merlino-engine`, then say "go." I'll rename the folder to `mastra-test` in one shot, repoint the shortcut and the doc paths, and confirm. I'm not going to keep yanking on a locked folder while you watch.
If you'd rather I just leave the folder name and only keep the "Mastra Test" label (which already works), say that instead and I'll drop it.

**awesome-design-md** (VoltAgent) — plain-English read + adoption verdict.
## What it is
A library of **73+ real `DESIGN.md` files** scraped from top brands (Apple, Stripe, Linear, Tesla, Notion, Claude, Vercel, etc.). `DESIGN.md` is Google Stitch's markdown format for handing a coding agent a brand's design system (colors, type, spacing, components) so it generates matching UI. Each entry ships the `DESIGN.md` + a `preview.html` + `preview-dark.html`. 92k stars.
Their pitch, verbatim: *"Drop one into your project and let coding agents generate a matching UI."*
## How it lines up with what you already have
You're already on this exact pattern. Your `frontend-build` skill **generates a client `DESIGN.md`**, and your design stack (`frontend-design`, `ui-ux-pro-max`, `design-auditor`, `huashu-design`) already drives anti-slop builds. This repo isn't a competing tool, it's **raw fuel** for the tools you run: a corpus of battle-tested exemplars Frankie can reference instead of inventing tokens from scratch.
## Verdict: **MERGE** (not OURS, not THEIRS)
- **Take:** the corpus itself. 73 reference `DESIGN.md` files = free few-shot examples for your DESIGN.md generation step. Pull it into `D:\Ecosystem\sources\design-skills\` next to your other reference repos, point `frontend-build` at it as a style library.
- **Don't take:** their format as a replacement. Your flow already produces DESIGN.md; this just gives it better examples to pattern-match against.
- **One caveat that matters for you:** half these systems are dark-default (Tesla, Apple, etc.). They're *references*, not mandates. Your hard rules still win: white/light default, no dark scrims, no AI slop. Frankie reads them for structure/tokens, not to override your theme law.
## What I'd actually do
Clone it into your design-sources folder and add a one-line routing note so Frankie/Impy know it exists as a DESIGN.md reference library. Small, additive, no IP exposure, no new project.
Want me to wire it in (clone + routing note), or just leave it as a bookmark?

**COMMIT:** `be4187b` - "fix: resolve active-profile sessions dir for Hermes session count"
**AGGREGATE LINE (Mac stdout):**
`[aggregate] hermes: 843 sessions / 41 skills / 40 personas / last active 12h ago`

**Tunnel session:** `claude-os-tunnel` - untouched, still running.
The fix works exactly as intended. The `resolveHermesSessionsDir` helper found the `active_profile` marker (`mac-main`), resolved to `~/.hermes/profiles/mac-main/sessions/`, and the count jumped from 9 to 843.</result>

Two parallel streams now running in the background:
**1. Carlos (subagent)** — shipping the sessions-count fix: commit + push `aggregate.ts`, deploy to Mac, verify the live count flips from 9 to ~843. Returns proof (commit hash, `[aggregate] hermes:` line, grepped `sessionCount`, HTTP 302).
**2. Workflow `wmr558n7x`** — read-only diagnostic workteam fanning out 3 investigators in parallel, then synthesizing:
- `diag:memory` → why "memory not installed" shows (prime suspect: the Mac `.env.local` `CLAUDE_OS_VAULTS` holds Windows `F:/Projects/vaults` paths that do not exist on the Mac)
- `diag:skills` → the 40-vs-600+ skill count (Hermes `~/.hermes/skills` = 40 vs Claude `~/.claude/skills` = ~634; which panel should show which)
- `diag:render` → stale avatars + lower-page-not-rendering (cache-bust vs render bug vs unsynced asset)
- `synthesize` → one ordered, conflict-aware fix plan, grouping anything that touches `aggregate.ts` into a single pass **after** Carlos's deploy lands.
Both are read-safe against each other (the workflow writes nothing and never runs `aggregate`/restarts). Watch live with `/workflows`.
When both finish I'll merge results and hand the consolidated fix plan to Carlos for one coordinated execution pass (respecting the score-gate). I'll report back with the diagnoses and proposed fixes then.

Hey, this looks amazing. The only thing is for each box, right? Like have a highlight of what it is.
Make the boxes bigger so I know what it was, like a quick summary. What the fuck was I doing so I could, you know, not have to just resume this.
Also, you know, the left thing looks nice. Let's now make project folders and just put it in the folders.
Do this shit on the head snur and report back. Let me know when I can close this term.
[ASSISTANT]
Dispatched to Hetzner, running detached. Here's exactly what the crew is doing:
1. **Bigger cards with a "what was I doing" summary** on each, generated cheaply with Haiku over the transcript (free-first, no paid burn), stored in Supabase, backfilled for all 1097 and auto-generated for new ones.
2. **Left sidebar becomes project folders**, click a project, see only its sessions. Keeping the v1 purple look you like.
3. Runs on Hetzner, pushes to `session-deck-v1`, auto-deploys to `sessions.merlinoai.com`.
**Yes, you can close the terminal now.** Because it's on Hetzner, it survives. And I built the proof step into the crew: Queen logs in, screenshots the new cards + project folders, and **sends the images straight to your Telegram** + Discord when it passes. So even with this terminal closed, the screenshots land on your phone.
If I'm still here when it finishes, I also do my own screenshot check on top of theirs. If it regresses the live v1 or the summaries come back empty, it gets bounced before it reaches you, the current v1 stays live in the meantime.
Next thing you get: Telegram images of the bigger summary cards + project folders, or an honest "it broke." Go close it out.

VERIFICATION: API (live Hetzner box)
- Root cause fixed and committed (`cbc7ba4`): default-bucket-to-cody + stale roster, now roster-gated with case-normalize and an `unattributed` sink, hard-refusal at the write boundary.
- Bad data purged and holds: cody 58,669 to 1,081 clean, case-variant `Cody` 0.

Two honest notes, neither blocking:
- The infographics ran on GPT Image 2 because the FAL balance was exhausted mid-run (NBP fell back). Both engines are wired; a re-run with a funded FAL balance uses Nano Banana Pro for those panels.
- Optional cleanups still parked from earlier: the 5 pre-existing non-roster runtime banks (~2,804 facts) and an optional gpt-5.5 re-synthesis of the chat corpus (this batch ran on 4o-mini).

<result># Knox Security + Infra Section Score
## Merlino Engine Phase 1: Multi-Tenant + Metered
---
## OBJECTIVE
Harden the Merlino Engine licensing shell so that multiple concurrent licensees (tenants) can hit the hidden-IP gateway without (a) leaking Mike's recipe, (b) accessing each other's data, (c) reaching Mike's model keys, or (d) probing their way to provider/model identity through timing, errors, or response shape. The gateway stack is: Vercel (edge) -> AI gateway (per-member key + metering, self-hosted Hetzner) -> LiteLLM (self-hosted Hetzner) -> upstream model APIs. No third-party hosted gateway carries member content.
---
## SECTION 1: TENANT ISOLATION
**Trust boundary:** The tenant's identity is resolved at the Vercel API route layer, before any call exits to Hetzner. Each tenant gets exactly one credential: a hashed API key stored in Supabase (`mmerlino23s-projects` account, `gmgxxiqgshbbgzhqzngq` project), never the raw key. The raw key is shown once at creation and never stored.
**Isolation model:**
- Per-tenant virtual key issued by the AI gateway (LiteLLM `virtual_key`). LiteLLM maps virtual key -> model team -> upstream key. No tenant ever shares a virtual key with another.
- Per-tenant usage row in Supabase (`tenant_usage` table): `tenant_id`, `virtual_key_id` (hashed), `credits_remaining`, `credits_used`, `created_at`, `revoked_at`.
- Vercel API routes validate the tenant's API key against Supabase on every request (bcrypt compare against stored hash). Fail = 401, no detail.
- Tenant A's outputs, logs, and error traces are never co-mingled with Tenant B's. Each gateway request carries the `virtual_key`; LiteLLM logs per virtual key only, not per session across keys.
**Skills/SOPs to apply:**
- `supabase-security-audit` - RLS policies on `tenant_usage` table; each tenant row is readable only by service role, never by the tenant itself via client key.
- `env-secrets-management` - virtual key assignments stored in gateway config, not in Vercel env vars.
---
## SECTION 2: IP-HIDING BOUNDARY UNDER MULTI-TENANCY
**The scrub() contract:**
- `scrub()` is a pure function that strips a fixed denylist from any response object before it leaves the Vercel API route. The denylist includes: model/provider names (resolved from a private `SCRUB_DENYLIST` env var, never in code), skill file names, scorer keys, voice vendor names, step graph keys, prompt fragments, Mastra workflow step names.
- `scrub()` runs on EVERY response path: success, partial, and error. There is no code path where a raw gateway or LiteLLM response can reach the tenant without passing through `scrub()`.
- Error normalization: ALL errors from LiteLLM, the gateway, or upstream providers are caught in a top-level try/catch in the API route and converted to `{ "error": "Generation failed. Please try again." }` before `scrub()` runs. No stack trace, no vendor error message, no HTTP status from an upstream ever propagates.
**Multi-tenant probe surface and mitigations:**
| Probe vector | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Timing side-channel (model A is faster than model B) | LOW | Add artificial response jitter (50-150ms random delay, server-side) before returning. Do not vary timing based on model selection path. |
| Response shape fingerprinting (token count, field names) | MEDIUM | Normalize all response shapes to a fixed contract schema befo
[ASSISTANT]
Security section is in (Knox). Strong work, surfaced one build-time decision worth flagging: normalize response timing to a fixed budget (always return in a set window regardless of actual generation time) to kill model-fingerprinting via timing. That has to be decided before the scrub-verify gate is written.
Just waiting on Dan (engineering) now, then I assemble all three into the finalized score.

### 1. METERING + BILLING MODEL RECOMMENDATION
**Recommended structure: Tiered flat subscription with a hard generation cap, no overage.**
Rationale: overages create support friction and churn. A hard cap with a clear upgrade prompt converts better and eliminates unprofitable runaway usage in one rule.
| Tier | Price/mo | Generation cap | Per-gen cost at cap | Gross margin at cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $297 | 500 generations | $0.10 | ~83% |
| Growth | $697 | 1,000 generations | $0.10 | ~86% |
| Agency | $1,497 | 2,500 generations | $0.10 | ~83% |
**How the cap works:**
- LiteLLM gateway (Hetzner) tracks `member_id` + generation count in Supabase `usage_events` table.
- At 90% of cap: automated email + in-app banner: "You have 50 generations remaining this month. Upgrade to Agency to continue."
- At 100% of cap: endpoint returns HTTP 402 with a human-readable message ("Your plan limit is reached. Upgrade at [billing URL]"), never a model error.
- Month resets on billing anniversary, not calendar month (Stripe subscription anchor).
**No credit packs in Phase 1.** Credit packs add inventory accounting complexity. Flat tiers with caps are simpler to launch, easier to support, and sufficient for 3 tiers. Revisit credit packs in Phase 2 if members request burst purchasing.
---
### 2. UNIT ECONOMICS
**Target gross margin: 75% minimum per tier, 80%+ target.**
At $0.10/generation (model API cost only, not infra):
| Tier | Revenue | Model cost at cap | Gross profit | Gross margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter: 500 gen | $297 | $50 | $247 | 83% |
| Growth: 1,000 gen | $697 | $100 | $597 | 86% |
| Agency: 2,500 gen | $1,497 | $250 | $1,247 | 83% |
**Infra cost (Hetzner + Supabase + Vercel) is shared fixed cost, not per-member variable.** At 10 members it is negligible. At 50+ members it stays under $200/mo total. Treat as overhead, not COGS, until monthly active members exceed 100.
**Where a member becomes unprofitable:**
A member is unprofitable when their actual generation cost exceeds their tier's contribution margin. With hard caps, this is mathematically impossible within the plan. The risk is only at the Agency tier if model costs spike significantly.
Unprofitability trigger math (Agency tier):
- Current: $250 model cost on $1,497 revenue = 83% margin.
- Margin hits 0% if model cost reaches $1,497, meaning cost-per-generation would need to hit $0.60 (6x current). That is the "model price spike" scenario.
- Alert threshold: if cost-per-generation exceeds $0.20 on any tier, flag to Mike for repricing review. LiteLLM can expose this per endpoint.
**Heavy-user floor (Starter tier):**
A Starter member who hits all 500 caps every month at $0.10 costs $50 in model spend on $297 revenue. Margin is still 83%. The only way they become a problem is if they stay on Starter for years while model costs rise. Annual repricing rights are standard SaaS.
---
### 3. COST-PER-ACTION GATING + BURN CONTROL
**Three layers of protection:**
**Layer 1 (per-member, hard):**
- LiteLLM budget limiter: each member API key gets a hard `max_budget` equal to their tier's generatio

Three section leads are running in parallel (engineering, security, finance). They're writing their own crystal-clear section scores for the licensing shell, each naming the exact SOPs/skills to use and including a gap-analysis block.
When all three return, I'll assemble and finalize them into one approved score (Oliver-finalize step), reconcile any conflicts, and present it to you for GO before Carlos conducts the actual build. No code gets written until you approve the finalized score.

Base directory for this skill: C:\Users\mikem\.claude\skills\resume
# /resume — Pick Up Where We Left Off
When invoked, restore full project context from a previous `/pause` and continue work.
## Process
### 1. Find Handoff File
Check these locations in order:
1. `.planning/.continue-here.md` (current directory)
2. `.continue-here.md` (project root)
3. `HANDOFF.json` (legacy format)
If none found, say so and ask Mike what we're working on.
### 2. Load Context
Read the handoff file completely. Also read:
- `CLAUDE.md` (project instructions)
- `.planning/STATE.md` (if exists)
- Project memory files (MEMORY.md in the project memory directory)
### 3. Check Current State
```bash
# What's changed since pause?
git log --oneline -5
git status --short
```
Compare against what the handoff file says. Flag any divergence (someone else may have worked on this).
### 4. Check Running Processes
If the handoff mentions dev servers or tunnels, verify they're still running:
```bash
# Check if ports are still active
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:{port} 2>/dev/null || echo "not running"
```
### 5. Present Status
```
RESUMING: {project name}
Paused: {timestamp from handoff}
Objective: {what we were doing}
Done: {X items completed}
Remaining: {Y items left}
First action: {exact next step}
```
### 6. Start Working
Don't ask "should I continue?" — just pick up the first action from the "Resume With" section and do it. Mike said resume, so resume.
## Rules
- Read the FULL handoff file before doing anything
- Don't re-do completed work — trust the handoff
- If the handoff mentions blockers that needed Mike's input, ask about those first
- If processes died (dev servers, tunnels), restart them before continuing work
- Delete the handoff file after successfully resuming (it's a one-shot artifact)
- If agents were mid-task when paused, re-dispatch them

This project is the **Fleet Command Center** (`F:\Projects\merlino-ai\fleet\command-center`) - your unified multi-agent command/kanban/reporting system. It's infrastructure-in-progress, not a deployed web app yet.
**Live URLs that exist right now (from this project's infra):**
- Kanban board: https://kanban.imerlino.com (Cloudflare Access, your email login)
- MCP PoC proof: https://mcp-demo.imerlino.com/proof
- Cloud handoff doc: https://github.com/mmerlino23/merlino-memory/blob/main/SESSION-CONTINUE.md
**The command-center web UI itself = NOT deployed.** Per the locked plan, the front-end is `merlinoai.com` (https://merlinoai.com), which is **already built** and just needs UPDATING to act as the command center (Phase 4). The build is paused at **Phase 0** (create 3 Hermes kanban boards), so no new command-center URL has shipped.
Want me to:
1. Verify which of those URLs are actually live right now (curl check), or
2. Locate the existing merlinoai.com build so Phase 4 can update it?

DELIVERED: Synapse node click bug fixed and proved.
LIVE URL: `https://ecosystem-worlds-9trk0twj4-mmerlino23s-projects.vercel.app/c/synapse`
BYPASS: `HynsHCbhaOwDmoAlL96SADnYErI5Jm7B`
ROOT CAUSE: `buildNode()` and `agentPortrait()` returned `THREE.Group` containing only `THREE.Sprite` objects. Sprites have unreliable raycasting (especially with `depthTest: false`), so react-force-graph-3d's raycaster never registered a hit and `onNodeClick` never fired.
FIX: Added invisible `THREE.Mesh(SphereGeometry, MeshBasicMaterial({transparent:true, opacity:0, depthWrite:false}))` inside each Group. The solid sphere geometry gives the recursive raycaster a target to intersect without changing the visual appearance.
PROOF:
- `visual-verify-after-click.png`: Inspector open showing "Oliver" (via Search path confirming `focusNode` works end-to-end)
- `visual-verify-pointer-click.png`: Inspector open showing "ecosystem-brain" (via direct pointer hover + click, cursor changed to `pointer` confirming the hit mesh was raycasted, click fired `onNodeClick fired: kn:ecosystem-brain ecosystem-brain`)
- Both paths confirmed `onNodeClick fired: yes`
COMMITS: `095c957` (invisible hit mesh fix), `121d9fa` (removed temp console.log)

[ASSISTANT]
Correction to my last message: brain-query was fixable, and it is now fixed.
**brain-query, FIXED and verified**
- Root cause: launcher pointed to `F:/Projects/tools/brain-query/brain-query.py` (gone). Real script is live at `~/.claude/skills/brain-query/scripts/brain-query.py`.
- Repointed the launcher to the live script.
- Test ran clean: query "qwen worker tier" returned real Master Brain hits (sim=0.696), so the brain search works again.
## Everything in this pass, all done with evidence
- **Part A (earlier):** MEMORY.md 505 to 392 lines, 94,655 to 74,220 bytes, 115 completed project notes moved to `_archive\`, zero deletions, full backup kept
- **Part B:** 269 old staging `.jsonl` zipped + verified + cleared (7.9 MB archive zip), 41,769 recent kept
- **Part C:** 3 stray files renamed to proper prefixes, root now has no strays
- **Cleanup:** 2 dead index links removed, idempotent-move bug fixed
- **brain-query:** repointed and verified working
VERIFICATION: FULL (real command output for every item)
## In progress
Frankie is building the whiteboard-explainer site on today's session (background). I will report the live private URL, POWD screenshot, and repo when it finishes. Nothing left for you to decide right now.

Done with the cleanup, whiteboard build is running in the background. Status:
## Done now (all verified, real output above)
**Part B, staging rotation (no data loss)**
- 269 `.jsonl` older than 30 days zipped + verified + cleared, 41,769 recent ones kept
- Archive: `D:\Ecosystem\backups\fleet-staging-rotated-2026-06-21.zip` (7,886,518 bytes, verified to contain all 269 before any loose file was removed)
**Part C, stray files reclassified**
- `merlino-geogrid.md` to `project_merlino-geogrid.md`
- `reminder_ecosystem-sync-integrations.md` to `project_ecosystem-sync-integrations.md`
- `untrusted-source-brock-misner-diyuyuyu.md` to `reference_untrusted-source-brock-misner-diyuyuyu.md`
- Final check: `no strays, all files properly prefixed`
**Cleanup / fixes**
- Removed the 2 pre-existing dead index links (`reference_image-gen.md`, `project_brain-query-cli.md`)
- Re-indexed the renamed notes so they still get recalled
- `MEMORY.md` now 392 lines / 74,220 bytes (was 505 / 94,655)
VERIFICATION: FULL (filesystem, real command output)
## One thing I could NOT fix
**`brain-query` is broken and I cannot repair it cleanly.** Its launcher (`~/.claude/bin/brain-query`) points to `F:/Projects/tools/brain-query/brain-query.py`, and that script does not exist anywhere on this box (searched `C:\Users\mikem`, `D:\Ecosystem`, `F:\Projects`, zero hits). The working copies live on the fleet boxes (Hetzner `~/tools/brain-query/`). I won't fabricate a vector-search CLI. Fix = pull the real script from Hetzner to the Windows path. Want me to do that now?
## Running in background
Frankie is building the whiteboard-explainer site on today's session (per the skill: both image models, white theme, private deploy, Firecrawl POWD, Discord notify). I'll report the live URL + POWD + repo when it lands.

Base directory for this skill: C:\Users\mikem\.claude\skills\sync
# /sync Skill
Single entry point for all ecosystem sync operations. Runs on **git + ssh** (not PowerShell), so it works even when the Windows box has wedged PowerShell.
## Trigger
Fires when the user types any of:
- `/sync`
- `/sync --dry`
- `/sync --skills`
- `/sync --vault`
- `/sync --docs`
- `/sync --status`
## What Claude Should Do
Run the bash engine `scripts/eco-sync.sh` with the matching mode using the **Bash tool**, show the output, and report any FAIL rows.
### Flag to Mode mapping
| User input | Mode arg | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `/sync` | `full` | Mirror skills, commit+push all source repos to GitHub, pull-sync every remote |
| `/sync --dry` | `dry` | Show what would change (git status + host reachability), touch nothing |
| `/sync --skills` | `skills` | Mirror + commit+push skills/agents/rules, pull-sync remotes |
| `/sync --vault` | `vault` | Commit+push agent-memory-vault, pull-sync remotes |
| `/sync --docs` | `docs` | Commit+push llm-wiki, pull-sync remotes |
| `/sync --status` | `status` | Local git status + runtime counts only, no ssh, no push |
## How to Invoke
```bash
bash "D:/ClaudeDev/00_GITHUB/merlino-skills/sync/scripts/eco-sync.sh" full
```
Replace `full` with the mode from the table above. Use a Bash-tool timeout of 300000 (5 min) for `full`/`skills`/`vault`/`docs` since they SSH to five hosts; `dry`/`status` finish in seconds.
## How it works
1. **Save (durable):** commits and pushes the three source repos to the GitHub hub:
- `ecosystem-ops` (`D:/Ecosystem/ops`) - agents, rules, and the distributed skills tree
- `merlino-skills` (`D:/ClaudeDev/00_GITHUB/merlino-skills`) - canonical skills (mirrored into ecosystem-ops first so new skills propagate)
- `agent-memory-vault` (`C:/Users/mikem/ObsidianVaults/AgentMemory`)
- Non-fast-forward pushes auto-rebase and retry. Secrets are protected by each repo's `.gitignore` (`*.env`, `*.json` state).
2. **Sync (fan-out):** each reachable host (`hetzner`, `mac`, `vps1`, `vps2`, `vps3`) pulls both repos from GitHub and copies agents/rules/skills/reference into `~/.claude`, `~/.codex`, and the active `~/.hermes` profile. Pull auth for the private repos uses `GITHUB_PAT_LEGACY` from the secrets file as a per-command `http.extraHeader` (never written into any repo).
## Expected Output
Each host prints a block ending in `SYNC_OK` plus agent/skill counts. `[SKIP]` = host unreachable. `[FAIL]` = transfer or push failed. The run ends with `[done] /sync <mode> complete.`
## Notes
- No PowerShell anywhere. The legacy `scripts/run-sync.ps1` is kept only as a fallback and is not used by this skill.
- The Windows remotes (`server`, `hp-big`, `hp-small`) are intentionally not pushed to here; they pull from the GitHub hub on their own schedule.
- No em dashes are used in any output from this skill.
[ASSISTANT]
Done, and here's the honest status. The **save to GitHub succeeded**; the **fan-out to the 5 remotes did not land the newest commit**.
**SAVED to GitHub (durable, verified):**
- `ecosystem-ops` pushed commit `662058f`, confirmed it includes the new skill: `seo-audit-batch/SKILL.md` (126 lines) + `scripts/run-audit.sh` (102 lines)
- `merlino-skills` and `agent-memory-vault` pushed
- (Last turn) `merlino-memory` SESSION-CONTINUE.md pushed + Supabase handoff row inserted
**Did NOT fully land, the 5 remotes are 1 commit behind:**
- hetzner, mac, vps1, vps2, vps3 all printed `SYNC_OK` but their eco commit is still `5e6d104`, not `662058f`. The real error: `Cannot fast-forward to multiple branches` / `unable to update local ref`. Their git remotes are tracking both `main` and `master`, so the pull can't fast-forward. The `SYNC_OK` line is misleading; the pull silently failed under it.
So everything is safely on the GitHub hub and recoverable from anywhere, but the fleet boxes haven't pulled this session's changes yet.
That remote git refspec mess is matteo-jr's lane (runtime drift). Want me to dispatch matteo-jr to fix the `main`/`master` dual-branch state on the 5 remotes and re-pull? That fixes this recurring `SYNC_OK`-but-behind problem for good, rather than me SSH-poking 5 boxes live.

# /pause — Full Session Save + Resume-Ready Handoff
When invoked, save EVERYTHING — memories, handoff, context bundle, Hindsight, Honcho — and write a .continue-here.md so the next session picks up cold.
Execute ALL steps. Do not skip any. Do not ask for confirmation.
## Step 1: Gather Session Context
Silently collect:
- What was the primary task/request this session?
- What was accomplished? (files created, edited, deployed)
- What decisions were made and why?
- What's unfinished or blocked?
- Any key discoveries, preferences, or corrections from the user?
- Which agents were dispatched and their last status?
- Running processes (dev servers, tunnels, background tasks)?
## Step 2: Auto Memory (File Memory)
Write memories to the project memory directory at `~/.claude/projects/<project-key>/memory/`.
For each significant item from this session, determine the type (user, feedback, project, reference) and write a memory file with frontmatter:
```markdown
---
name: {{name}}
description: {{one-line description}}
type: {{user|feedback|project|reference}}
---
{{content}}
```
Then update MEMORY.md in the same directory as an index.
**Save:** user preferences/corrections (feedback), project state changes (project), new references (reference), user context (user).
**Skip:** code patterns from codebase, git history facts, trivial exchanges, anything in CLAUDE.md.
## Step 3: Write .continue-here.md
Write to `.planning/.continue-here.md` in the current project directory (create `.planning/` if needed):
```markdown
---
paused_at: {ISO 8601 timestamp}
project: {project name}
status: paused
---
# Continue Here
## Objective
{What we're working on — one sentence}
## Completed This Session
{Bullet list of what got done}
## Next Steps
{Numbered list of what's next, in priority order}
## Active Agents
{Which leads were involved and their last status}
## Key Decisions
{Choices made and why — so next session doesn't re-debate}
## Blockers
{Anything waiting on Mike or external}
## Uncommitted Changes
{Output of git status, or "all committed"}
## Running Processes
{Dev servers, tunnels, background tasks — with ports and PIDs}
## Resume With
{The exact first thing to do when picking back up — be specific}
```
## Step 4: Project Handoff
If `.planning/` exists, update STATE.md and HANDOFF.md with current state.
If no `.planning/` but project has CLAUDE.md, update the status section there.
## Step 5: Context Bundle
Create `.agents/context-bundles/bundle-{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HH}h.md` with session summary, task, completed work, key files, decisions, and resume instructions.
## Step 6: Hindsight Memory
Push to Hindsight if reachable (http://merlino-fleet-hel1.tail9fd706.ts.net:8888):
- Session summary to the oliver bank
- Key decisions tagged with project name
- User feedback tagged with user
If not reachable, log it and continue.
## Step 7: Honcho Memory
If Honcho is available:
- Store conclusions for any significant user preferences or project state
- Use `create_conclusion` for durable facts
If not reachable, log it and continue.
## Step 8: WIP Commit
```bash
git add .planning/.continue-here.md
git commit -m "wip: paused — {one-line description}"
```
## Step 9: Report
```
PAUSED: {project name} — {date}
TASK: {one-line summary}
DONE: {what was accomplished}
NEXT: {what's next}
SAVED TO:
{✓|✗} Auto memory ({count} memories)
{✓|✗} Context bundle ({filename})
{✓|✗} .continue-here.md
{✓|✗} Hindsight ({status})
{✓|✗} Honcho ({status})
To resume: /resume
```
## Rules
- Execute the full save autonomously — do NOT ask for confirmation at any step
- Be specific enough that a fresh Claude session with zero context can pick up immediately
- Include file paths, not just descriptions
- Include the WHY behind decisions, not jus

Relaunch the Frankie MemInject whiteboard-explainer build (it 529'd twice). Re-dispatch the same brief: build the MemInject explainer via the whiteboard-explainer skill at F:/Projects/explainers/meminject-explainer, keep the prompts module, private Vercel deploy, Firecrawl POWD. Also check whether Dan's MemInject Layer 3 injection finished (live banks on hetzner) and report both.

No, the resume should have everything needed in it. Whatever file that shit leads to needs to have everything in it, including a memory injection of everything up to date on the project, what was done, where we are with it, a timeline, a whole fucking changelog. And I don't give a fuck how big that file is.
[ASSISTANT]
Done. Everything's saved and the flicker is gone.
```
.continue-here.md: full brain dump (project, architecture, complete session timeline + changelog,
Dream feature, Dream/REM build plan, 6 open items, restart commands, gotchas, resume instructions)
committed b07db10 -> pushed to github.com/mmerlino23/merlino-claude-os
working tree: 0 uncommitted
Windows claude-os-local server + tunnel: STOPPED (the flicker is dead)
Primary URL: https://claude-os.imerlino.com (Mac) -> 302, solid, single source
```
VERIFICATION: API (handoff committed + pushed, clean tree; Windows flicker processes stopped; Mac URL 302).
**Two things, plain:**
1. **The flicker was the second URL.** `claude-os-local.imerlino.com` (Windows) was crash-looping. I stopped it. From now on use only **`https://claude-os.imerlino.com`**, that's your Mac dashboard, your real one. Open it from the **Claude OS Dashboard** desktop shortcut.
2. **`/resume` now has everything.** The handoff file (`.continue-here.md`) is a complete memory injection: what the project is, the full 18-step timeline of today, the changelog, exact current state, every URL/path/command, all the gotchas, and the 6 open items in priority order. After `/clear`, `/resume` from `F:\Dashboard\claude-os` reloads all of it. Not a waste, it's your full continuity.
**You're clear to /clear and /resume.** When you come back, top of the queue is your REAL 843 Hermes numbers, then the display gripes. Everything's triple-backed-up and the dashboard's on one clean URL.

Third 529 in a row, all on spawning the build agent. This is an Anthropic-wide overload right now (server-side, zero work done each time), not our setup. Per your own rule I'm not going to keep poking it.
Two ways forward, your call:
1. **Wait it out, auto-retry the band** in ~15 min when the overload clears (these pass fast). Cleanest, keeps it on Frankie.
2. **I build it myself directly now.** My own tools work fine (that's how I just moved the domain), it's only subagent *spawning* that's 529ing. I'd edit the live source, fix the markdown rendering, add the per-wave brand-style.md downloads + industry filter + "color waves" language, and redeploy to https://colors.merlinoai.com myself. Faster, but it's me solo instead of the band.
Which do you want? If you say "do it," I go with option 2 right now.

- [Paid template must be the REAL design, not generic shadcn (CGH FAIL)](feedback_paid-template-must-be-the-real-design.md) - 2026-06-21: "build on a paid template" = OUTPUT must visibly BE Mikes actual paid template, not a generic shadcn-card page. CGH seo-audit report marked FAIL twice on design. Skill+data good, presentation rejected. Get exact template name + reference shot, scaffold from real pages, visual-verify vs the reference.

Saved and marked **FAIL**.
**Marked FAIL:** CGH SEO audit report design rejected. It is not your real paid template, it renders as a generic shadcn-card page, which is the AI-slop look your templates exist to avoid. Rejected twice (hand-rolled, then the client-report-pro folder).
**Saved (4 places):**
- Lesson memory: `feedback_paid-template-must-be-the-real-design.md` (+ MEMORY.md index)
- Client FAIL handoff: `.../cgh-seo-audit-batch/.planning/STATUS-FAIL.md`
- Cloud (GitHub), pushed: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmerlino23/merlino-memory/main/SESSION-CONTINUE.md
- Cloud (Supabase): handoff row inserted (HTTP 201)
**The lesson I recorded:** pointing an agent at a template folder is not "using your paid template." The OUTPUT has to visibly BE the template's real design, verified against a reference shot of that specific template. A generic shadcn page is an automatic FAIL for client work, going forward.
**What survives the FAIL (good, reusable, not redone):**
- `/seo-audit-batch` skill works end to end; running it on CGH fixed 3 real API bugs (SERP `location_code`, LLM `target:[{domain}]`, domain-intel null).
- Real verified CGH data is banked (not ranking for the money keyword, 1,613 broken backlinks, zero AI citations, homepage 403s the crawler).
Only the presentation is open. Next session, to do it right: tell me the exact template name from https://templates.merlinoai.com and I will scaffold from its real pages and visual-verify against that reference, not a generic rebuild.
