Phase 455: Flatdesk's per-ticket article, drafted for listing day

Phase 455: Flatdesk's per-ticket article, drafted for listing day

• The Flatdesk case's Reach section names two pieces: the /per-ticket page (Phase 454, waiting on a deploy) and an article on what per-ticket billing costs. The article goes on the studio's dev.to account, which ranks in web search and which I may run myself (FACTS, 09-30).
• One agent drafts it in scratch/helpdesk-devto.md. Every figure comes from the Phase 454 page, and every import claim from the code. No competitor is named.
• It is not posted. It goes up once the page is live and a stranger can install Flatdesk. Today they cannot, because Flatdesk is not on the App Store.

---

Phase 456, plan: the 10-20 verdict, written before the number

Sizecurve stands at 48 of 50 engaged views and 11 of 10 checks, with the window closing at the end of 2026-10-20. I am writing down now what each result means, so that I can't bend it once I've seen the number.

• The number is the one in the box on the arrivals page at the end of 10-20 UTC. It is the count the criterion has used since 09-21. Neither threshold moves.
• Ad clicks are reported beside it, not added to it. The ad sends people to the App Store listing, not to our pages, so its clicks are not views on the instrument. Counting them would loosen a criterion that is already running, and FACTS 09-20 says a running criterion may only get harder. If the ad brings an install, that sits outside the criterion and is worth more than any view.
• PASS (50 or more views and 10 or more checks): Sizecurve continues. I ask the boss to add the Free plan (3 styles) on the Partner Dashboard and to check whether saving it sends the app back to review. Then one agent builds the Phase 429 brief as checked in Phase 430, and I ask before deploying.
• KILL: Sizecurve stops taking new work: no free plan, no new pages, posts or ads after the ad is paused on 10-26. It stays listed and working, because a shop that installs it should get what it pays for. I answer any support mail and fix anything broken. The time goes to Flatdesk and Close of Day, and the lesson goes in LEARNED.md.

---

Phase 457, plan: test the developer's reply against our own scan

• On 10-17 a developer, replying in public, said Sizecurve might suit a store with 150k products or several locations, but that "most store owners would know what sells". That claim can be tested. If small catalogues rarely have a broken size run and big ones often do, the buyer is the big store. If small ones break just as often, owners do not know.
• One agent reruns the published definition over the 298 public catalogues already on disk, with no network. It groups the stores by number of sized styles, and gives the broken share in each group and its rank correlation with catalogue size. Stores are numbered, never named.
• It goes into LEARNED.md and into the 10-20 verdict's notes. It does not change the criterion.

---

Phase 458, plan: correct the size-runs article

• Phase 457 found that the dev.to article "I read 298 Shopify catalogues…" (live since 09-30) defines broken differently from the scan that made its figures. The article says "a size is sold out while sizes on both sides of it are still in stock". The scan (scan/detect.py) counts a run as broken when every size in its core, the middle half of the sizes listed, is gone while the style is still buyable.
• Checking it, I found worse. The article says "72.6% of broken styles are missing exactly one size". The figure is the share with exactly one size left, as /broken-size-runs correctly says. Its diagram and its "single hole" paragraph rest on that misreading.
• One agent rewrites the article's finding section to match detect.py and /broken-size-runs, adds a dated correction note, and checks the other two dev.to articles for the same error. I check it, then update the live article myself.

---

Phase 459, plan: a reply for the boss's developer-forum thread

• The one reply on the boss's 10-17 thread said Sizecurve might suit a store with 150k products, but that most owners know what sells. Phase 457 tested that against our scan. Broken runs come at the same rate, about 7%, from 25 styles up to 500 and beyond.
• I write a short reply the boss can post under their own account. It gives the numbers and what the scan cannot see, and it carries no link. It is the boss's thread, so the boss decides whether to post it.
• No new work goes into Sizecurve's site or app before the 10-20 verdict.

---

Phase 460, plan: Flatdesk's Community threads, found and answered in draft

• Close of Day has a set of drafted replies to the Community threads where its buyers ask for it, held until it is listed (Phase 403). Flatdesk has none. On listing day the first installs are most likely to come from owners already asking in public.
• One agent searches the Shopify Community for threads since 2025 where a store asks for a help desk or shared inbox, or complains about paying per ticket or per agent. It reads each once, decides Reply or Skip by the same tests as Phase 403, and drafts link-free replies held to app/helpdesk/listing/LISTING.md. Each reply answers the question first and names Flatdesk and its price once.
• The drafts go in scratch/helpdesk-thread-replies.md. Nothing is posted until Flatdesk is listed.

---

Phase 461, plan: what the docent asked for Flatdesk

• The docent found Flatdesk live from outside. The record still lists only Sizecurve as my app, so the house site shows four products when there are five. Six asks, in their order.
• Apps list. FACTS.md's "Current app" section now declares Close of Day and Flatdesk beside Sizecurve, each with its URL, status, price and plain description. Close of Day was missing too.
• Sitemap. One agent adds public/sitemap.xml and a Sitemap line in robots.txt to Flatdesk, as Sizecurve has. A test fails if a new page is left out. It goes live only after I ask "May I deploy Flatdesk?".
• The rest I answer in the conversation for the docent: - the two plain sentences; - the free thing: /per-ticket is a page anyone can read, not a tool, and I say so; - the price; - listing status with dates: not submitted, waiting on the screencast; - /health's public phase number, which stays, as a decision.

---

Phase 462, plan: make /per-ticket a tool a stranger can use

• The docent's point: every product on the house shelf has one free thing a stranger can use with no install, and it is the part search engines visit. For Flatdesk, /per-ticket is the nearest, but it is a page of three fixed rows, not a tool.
• One agent adds a small calculator at the top of that page. The visitor enters tickets a month and number of agents, and it shows the cheapest plan on the same listing ladder, with the sum written out, beside Flatdesk's $49. - Overage is charged pro rata ($0.40 a ticket on Basic, $0.36 on Pro and Advanced). Where a store would pay for whole blocks of 100, this is the lower figure, so the comparison can only flatter the other desk. The page says so. - Starter is not offered above 3 agents. - The script is a separate file, and the page's CSP allows only that. Without the script, the page reads exactly as it does now. - Tests check that the calculator gives the table's three rows: $60, $340 and $360.
• Held until I ask to deploy.

---

Phase 463, plan: a free daily summary from Shopify's orders export, on Close of Day's site

• Close of Day's site has four pages that explain the problem and no tool to use. The docent's rule is one free thing with no install for each product. For Close of Day, that is the one page itself, made from a file every store can already download.
• One agent adds /orders-export-summary. A store owner exports orders from the Shopify admin as a CSV and opens it on the page. The browser reads it, and nothing is uploaded: the page's CSP has no connect-src. It shows, per day: orders, sales, discounts, shipping, tax by name, refunded amount, and totals by payment method, ready to print. - The column names come from Shopify's help, read by the agent. Order fields appear only on an order's first row, and the parser must handle that. - Money is summed in integer minor units with the functions Close of Day's engine already serves (/engine.js). - The page says plainly what an export cannot do. It dates each order by its creation, not refunds by when they happened, and it names one payment method per order. Close of Day reads transactions, which is why the app exists.
• The page goes in the sitemap, and /end-of-day-report links to it as a free way. Tests run against an invented CSV.
• Held until I ask to deploy. Close of Day is still in review.

---

Phase 464, plan: run the orders export page in a real browser before asking to deploy it

• Phase 463 was tested in Node and against a fake page, never in a browser. A module import or CSP mistake would only show up live.
• One agent serves app/daybook/public/ locally, applying the headers from _headers, and opens the page in Chromium using Sizecurve's existing Playwright. It opens the fixture CSV and checks the figures. It records console output, errors and CSP violations, and every request. It also checks: - the page with JavaScript off; - a file with two currencies; - a file dropped onto the page; - the print layout.
• If it finds a bug in the page, it fixes it with a test. Nothing is deployed.
• Sizecurve, at 23:07Z: 48 of 50 qualifying views (2 short), 11 of 10 checks. The verdict is due at the end of 10-20.

---

Phase 465, plan: a short dev.to draft for the free orders export summary

• The long Close of Day article waits for the listing. The free tool needs no listing, so one agent drafts a second, standalone article (700 to 1,100 words) in scratch/daybook-devto-export.md. It covers: - the removed printed summary and the thread asking for it, with counts re-read once; - the three things that make the export awkward to sum, each with a short code excerpt from orders-export.js; - why nothing is uploaded: no connect-src in the CSP; - the export's limits, and one paragraph on Close of Day.
• It is posted only after the tool is live. That needs the deploy approval I have asked for.

---

Phase 466, plan: Close of Day's shelf card

• The docent: daybook.bananafest-destiny.com/media/closeofday-card.png returns 404, and that one image is all that keeps Close of Day off the house shelf.
• One agent makes a 1200x630 PNG under 400 KB from a listing image whose data is all invented, as Flatdesk's card was made. A test holds the file's size and dimensions.
• Then I ask to deploy it. That deploy goes from a temporary worktree again, so Phases 421 and 422 stay held for the approval release.

---

Phase 467, plan: a "try it with sample orders" button on the free export tool

• /orders-export-summary is no use to a visitor who has no export at hand: someone from search, the article or the house short. They see an empty box.
• One agent adds a button that loads an invented sample export, built into the script with no network (connect-src stays absent), and labels the output plainly as invented sample data. It also adds a link to download the same sample CSV, so a store owner can see the format.
• Tests check that the sample gives the figures the page shows, and that the label is present. Held for deploy, which I ask for together with the card.

Phase 455, actual: Flatdesk's per-ticket article, drafted and held

• scratch/helpdesk-devto.md, about 1,000 words, published: false, titled "What a per-ticket help desk costs a Shopify store at 300, 1,000 and 2,000 tickets". It covers the leader's listing ladder, the sums ($60, $340, $360 against Flatdesk's $49) and why the step from 300 to 1,000 tickets is where the bill jumps. Then come four steps for leaving any help desk, and a short, fair Flatdesk section: what it lacks, that the import leaves attachments behind, and that it has no reviews yet.
• Every figure matches a line of /per-ticket, except the differences ($11, $291, $311) and "more than five times", which are arithmetic on those lines. I read it whole and checked the sums. No competitor is named, and it has two links, both to the Flatdesk site.
• It is held until /per-ticket is live and Flatdesk can be installed. On that day the listing prices are read again first.
• Sizecurve: 48 of 50 engaged views, 11 of 10 checks, with two days left before the 10-20 verdict. The free-plan brief from Phase 429 and 430 is ready if it continues.

---

Phase 457, actual: the reply tested against our own scan

• One agent read only the scan output on disk, with no network and nothing written in the repo. It used detect.py's own functions.
• It reproduced the published figures exactly: 298 catalogues, 234 with a broken run (78.5%), 64,268 runs, 5,773 broken styles.
• The broken share by catalogue size, in sized styles:

Sized styles	Stores	Median broken share	Middle half	Stores with at least one
1 to 24	66	0.0%	0 to 5.8%	22 (33%)
25 to 99	82	7.1%	2.3 to 12.7%	66 (80.5%)
100 to 499	107	7.6%	3.4 to 11.2%	103 (96.3%)
500 and up	43	6.7%	3.3 to 9.3%	43 (100%)

• The rank correlation between catalogue size and broken share is weak: 0.280 (n=298), and 0.153 without the stores under 10 styles. 30 of the 43 largest stores hit the scan's 1,000-product cap, so that row undercounts their size.
• What it says: from about 25 styles up, the share is flat at about 7%. A store of 60 styles is as likely to show a broken run as one of 600, and four in five of them have at least one. The reply's line, that owners know and only a store with 150k products needs this, is not what the catalogues show. Only the smallest stores break less.
• What it cannot say: the scan sees availability, not quantities or sales. A broken run may be a choice, such as a style being run down, and the owner may know about it. It cannot see stores with several locations.
• Doing this, the agent found that the live dev.to article states the definition of broken wrongly. That is Phase 458.

---

Phase 458, actual: the size-runs article corrected, live

• One agent rewrote the finding in marketing/dev-size-runs.md to match scan/detect.py: - The definition is now the scan's: every size in the core, the middle half of the sizes listed, is gone while the style is still on sale. It gives a 4-size example. - The 72.6% line now reads "have exactly one size left". So do the later line that repeated it and the code sample. - The diagram is now a run that the scan counts as broken. The agent checked it with judge(); the old diagram came out only as the looser reading. The rewritten code sample was checked against judge() for every run of 4 to 10 sizes. - The store table's first column was headed "loose", which reads as the looser rule. It now says "broken". - A dated correction note is at the end.
• The figures gate passes for the file, and the key scan is clean. No number was added; each one traces to /broken-size-runs or to figures.py.
• Neither error is in the other two dev.to articles or on any site page.
• I updated the live article through the DEV API: 200, edited 2026-10-18 11:20 UTC. A fresh read of the live body matches the repo text exactly. The title and URL are unchanged.

---

Phase 459, actual: the forum reply, drafted for the boss

The text given to the boss in the conversation, unposted:

I checked this against data I already had: a scan of the public catalogues of 298 Shopify apparel stores. It counts styles that are still on sale but have every middle size sold out. From about 25 styles up, the rate doesn't grow with the catalogue. It is 7.1% of styles at 25–99 styles, 7.6% at 100–499 and 6.7% at 500+. 4 in 5 stores with 25–99 styles had at least one. Only the stores under 25 styles broke less (median 0%). So I think you're right for very small shops, but not far past them.

On your XS example, the scan can't see stock counts, only what is sold out. What it shows is the opposite mistake: M and L gone while the page still says in stock, rather than too many XS. Whether owners know about those and leave them on purpose, a catalogue can't tell me. That's a fair hole in my case.

---

Phase 460, actual: Flatdesk's Community threads, drafted and held

• One agent searched the Shopify Community with 16 wordings since 2025. The forum rate-limited it on the 16th request, so it stopped as told. It never opened a whole thread: each decision rests on the first post's excerpt and the search blurbs.
• Its verdicts: 6 Reply and 22 Skip. The Skips are surveys and makers' research, threads already solved, off-topic threads, and asks for AI, phone or messaging channels that Flatdesk lacks.
• The Reply threads, by posts: - 692994 (13 posts, active 10-17): support costs growing fast, with a per-ticket price quoted; - 651458 (9); - 307434 (6); - 66927 (4); - 621681 (3), a two-person team doing 600 orders a month; - 571771 (2).
• The drafts run 122 to 147 words. - Each answers the question first, whatever the asker uses, then names Flatdesk, $49 a month flat, and one limit. - No links and no product names; both greps are empty. - Every claim is tied to LISTING.md. I cut one claim about other apps' trials that the listing cannot back.
• Held in scratch/helpdesk-thread-replies.md until Flatdesk is listed. Before each post: read the whole thread, check its views, and check that nobody has already said the same. At most two a day, and never 307434 and 66927 on the same day.

---

Flatdesk deployed: /per-ticket is live

• The boss approved one deploy. Tests: 250 pass, 0 fail. Wrangler deployed the Worker to helpdesk.bananafest-destiny.com.
• Read back: /, /per-ticket, /terms and /privacy return 200, and /per-ticket.html redirects to /per-ticket. The page carries its own CSP, and the home page footer links it.
• This was Phase 454's page. The dev.to article (Phase 455) and the thread replies (Phase 460) still wait for Flatdesk to be listed.
• The boss confirmed that Sizecurve's subtitle changed on 10-17. When I read the ad stats on 10-19 and 10-22, I split them at that change.

---

Phase 461, actual: Flatdesk's sitemap and card, held for deploy

• The apps list. FACTS.md now declares Close of Day and Flatdesk as current apps beside Sizecurve. Each has its URL, status with dates, price and a plain description. Committed before the agent ran.
• The sitemap. One agent added public/sitemap.xml with the four public pages (/, /per-ticket, /privacy, /terms), each read live as 200. It also added the Sitemap line to robots.txt, keeping its rules. - Four new tests: the XML is well formed, every URL is on this host and maps to a file, every public page except the 404 is listed, and robots ends with the Sitemap line. - The agent checked that the tests fail when a page is removed. - Tests: 254 pass, 0 fail.
• The card. public/media/flatdesk-card.png is a 1200x630 crop of listing screenshot 2, unstretched and 218 KB. It shows a ticket with its thread, an internal note and the customer's last orders. I looked at it: the data is all invented (example.com addresses, the made-up store from shots.mjs).
• Neither file is live until the next deploy, which I ask for first.
• My answers to the docent's six asks went to the boss in the conversation. They include /health: its public phase number stays, as a decision.
• Deployed on the boss's "Go ahead", after 254 passing tests. Read back: - /sitemap.xml 200 application/xml; - /robots.txt 200, ending with the Sitemap line; - /media/flatdesk-card.png 200 image/png, 222,748 bytes; - / and /per-ticket still 200.

---

Phase 462, actual: the per-ticket calculator, held for deploy

• One agent added a calculator to /per-ticket. A visitor enters tickets a month and support agents, and it shows the cheapest plan on the page's ladder with the sum written out, next to Flatdesk's $49 and the difference. - Overage is worked out pro rata, which can only understate the other desk's cost, and the page says so. - Starter is skipped above 3 agents, and the page says why. Inputs are capped at 100,000 tickets and 500 agents.
• The logic is in public/per-ticket.js, a module that the tests import. _headers adds script-src 'self' for that page only, and every other policy is unchanged. Without JavaScript, the page reads as before.
• Results the tests assert:

Tickets	Agents	Cheapest plan	Flatdesk
300	2	Basic $60	$49
1,000	2	Basic $340	$49
2,000	2	Pro $360	$49
5,000	10	Advanced $900	$49
50	2	Starter $10, $39 less than Flatdesk, said plainly	$49
50	4	Basic $60	$49

• The agent loaded the page in a headless browser with the real CSP: no errors, and the calculator stays hidden without JavaScript. I looked at the screenshot.
• Tests: 267 pass, 0 fail (13 new). The sitemap's lastmod for /per-ticket is now 10-18.

---

Phase 463, actual: Close of Day's free orders export summary, held for deploy

• New page /orders-export-summary ("Print a daily sales summary from Shopify's orders export") and script public/orders-export.js. A store owner opens the orders CSV from the admin, and the browser makes one table per day: - orders, subtotal, discounts, shipping, taxes in total and by name, total, refunded amount, and totals by payment method; - cancelled orders listed apart and not counted; - a file with more than one currency is refused. - Money is summed in integer minor units with the engine's own functions. The CSP adds only script-src 'self' and has no connect-src, so the page cannot send the file anywhere.
• Every column used is quoted from Shopify's "Exporting orders" help page (one request). The page's "What an export cannot tell you" section says three things: refunds sit on the order's day, an order has one payment-method string, and dates are taken as written.
• /end-of-day-report now lists it as way 4 of six. Its description had said "Four" while the page already listed five, and both now say six. index.html links it once. The sitemap has the page, and robots.txt says eight pages.
• privacy.html (dated 18 October 2026) no longer says the pages refuse every script. It now says they refuse other sites' scripts, and that the tool's file is never sent. The new page's footer carries the support address, as the other pages' footers do.
• Tests run on an invented CSV with quoted commas and newlines, a BOM, a 3-line order, two days, a refund, a cancellation, two tax names and a split payment: 472 → 489, all passing.
• No screenshot: no headless browser is installed in app/daybook.
• Not deployed. Close of Day is still in review.

---

Phase 464, actual: the orders export page runs in Chromium, no fix needed

• The page was served locally with the CSP parsed from _headers and opened in Chromium (Sizecurve's Playwright). No console messages, page errors or CSP violations appeared. As a control, an injected inline script was blocked and reported, which shows the check could catch one.
• With the fixture opened, every figure matched: - 2026-10-01: total 102.80, refunded 10.00, Shopify Payments 71.00, Cash 31.80. - 2026-10-02: total 77.90, "Gift Card + Shopify Payments" 50.40. - Whole file: total 180.70. - Cancelled order #1003 is listed and left out of every figure.
• A dropped file gives the same result. A file with two currencies shows the plain stop message and no summary. With JavaScript off, the page shows the needs-JavaScript note.
• Requests: only the page, /orders-export.js and /engine.js.
• Print: a 3-page PDF (each day plus the whole file), and only the summary prints. At 390 px wide the page does not scroll sideways; I read the phone screenshot.
• 489/489 tests pass. Nothing changed in the repository.

---

Phase 465, actual: dev.to draft for the free tool, and the no-send claim made exact

• scratch/daybook-devto-export.md, "A daily sales summary from Shopify's orders export, added up in the browser", 1,088 words in the post, published: false. - The thread was re-read once (200): 2,270 views, 335 likes, 86 posts on 2026-10-18. On 10-02 it had 2,157 views. - The three traps in the export, each with code simplified from the real functions and checked against them on test inputs: - order fields sit only on an order's first row; - quoted commas, newlines and a BOM; - money in integer minor units. - It quotes the page's CSP byte for byte and lists the export's limits. Its closing paragraph about Close of Day uses only claims from index.html, with <status> to set on the day.
• The agent declined one claim in the brief: that the page "could not send the file if it tried". img-src 'self' still reaches our own site, and no policy stops a navigation. The post says the policy rules out the ordinary ways a script sends data.
• The same overclaim had gone live in three places in Phase 463. All three now say what is true: no connect-src, so fetch, XHR, WebSockets and beacons are refused, and the script sends nothing. - privacy.html line 52; - a comment in _headers; - the top comment of orders-export.js, which the article tells readers to read.
• 489/489 tests pass. Nothing is posted or deployed.

---

Deploys 3 and 4: Flatdesk's calculator and Close of Day's export tool are live

• The boss: "deploy it. Both of them...". One deploy each.
• Flatdesk: npm test 267/267, then deployed. Live: /per-ticket 200 with CSP script-src 'self'; /per-ticket.js 200 text/javascript. In headless Chromium on the live page, the calculator shows, and at 1,000 tickets and 2 agents it reads "Cheapest plan: Basic, $60 + 700 over × $0.40 = $340 a month… $291 a month more than Flatdesk."
• Close of Day: src/page.mjs holds Phases 421 and 422, which are kept back for the approval-day release, and the app is in review. I said only the public pages would change, so I deployed from a temporary worktree of HEAD with page.mjs and its two test files restored from before Phase 421. There npm test gave 480/480; the browser test needed Sizecurve's Playwright linked in. Then I ran the build (no changes) and deployed. Afterwards I removed the worktree; main is unchanged, and those phases are still held. - Live, all 200: /, /orders-export-summary, /end-of-day-report, /privacy (18 October 2026), /sitemap.xml (has the page), /robots.txt, /health. - The tool page's CSP has script-src 'self' and no connect-src. /orders-export.js and /engine.js are served as text/javascript. - In Chromium on the live page, the fixture CSV gives 102.80 for 10-01 and 180.70 for the whole file.
• Both live pages: the only console errors were Cloudflare's injected analytics beacon, blocked by script-src 'self'. The privacy pages say it would be blocked, and it is.
• Ad, from the boss's screenshot: 601 impressions, 2 clicks at $9.00, 0 installs, average position 2.7, visibility 44.5%. About 422 impressions and 2 clicks since the subtitle change.
• dev.to: the boss asked for the article ("Give it to me"). I sent them scratch/daybook-devto-export.md without its publishing notes: published: true, the status set to "in review for the Shopify App Store", and the script path written as its full URL. I posted nothing.
• IndexNow (the boss: "yes"): node tools/indexnow.mjs --submit checked the key file (200, matches) and sent the sitemap's 8 URLs. The endpoint answered 200 OK. Google is not among the engines IndexNow reaches.

---

Phase 466, actual: Close of Day's shelf card made, held for deploy

• app/daybook/public/media/closeofday-card.png: a 1200x630 PNG, 43,632 bytes. It is the app page drawn again from the listing's invented data (the same helpers as shots.mjs), enlarged 1.4x and cropped to end on the line under Shipping. It shows "Close of Day", Range Yesterday, All locations, the Show, Print, CSV and PDF buttons, and the Sales lines from Gross sales to Shipping. I read the card myself.
• Two candidates were rejected: the feature image (it never names the product and is 434 KB) and 01-day.png cropped at full size (the title is about 10 px tall at half size).
• A new test checks the PNG signature, 1200x630 in the IHDR, and a size under 400 KB: 490/490 pass. /media/ is served as a plain asset, so the card will go out as image/png.
• The boss also sent a forum reply from another thread, "Nineteen things our AI agents could not do by themselves". It is not mine; FACTS has it.

Correction: today's deploys also published the two house shorts

• The house shorts and claim files, held since Phases 451 to 453, were already committed in public/media/. So today's Flatdesk deploys and the Close of Day deploy published them as well, and my deploy notes above did not say so. Live now, all 200: - daybook.bananafest-destiny.com/media/close-of-day.mp4 and .json; - helpdesk.bananafest-destiny.com/media/flatdesk.mp4 and .json.
• The docent has picked them up. Its only open ask for Close of Day is the card (Phase 466, held).
• From now on, before any deploy I list what in public/ differs from the last deploy, not only what the phase changed.

Phase 467, actual: "Try it with sample orders", held for deploy

• A button, "Try it with sample orders", sits in the file box. It runs 12 invented orders (#1041 to #1052) through the same path as a chosen file, with no request, and puts "These are invented sample orders, not a real store." above the summary. Opening a real file removes that line.
  • Whole file: 11 orders counted, total 491.66, refunded 19.80, and one cancelled order listed apart.
• Step 1 links the same file as /media/sample-orders-export.csv, so a store owner can see the format. A test checks the file and the script's constant are byte-identical.
• In local Chromium with _headers applied, 37 of 37 checks passed: no errors, no CSP violations, the same three requests, and no sideways scroll at 390 px. I read the phone screenshot, and each day's total equals subtotal + shipping + taxes.
• 498/498 tests pass.
• What changes in public/ against the live deploy: media/closeofday-card.png (Phase 466), media/sample-orders-export.csv, orders-export.js and orders-export-summary.html. Nothing else.

Deploy 5: Close of Day's card and sample orders are live

• The boss: "Yes". As before, I deployed from a temporary worktree with page.mjs restored from before Phase 421. Against the last deploy, the diff was exactly the four public files plus the held page.mjs, which stays out. npm test 489/489 there, the build changed nothing, then deploy; the worktree is removed.
• Live: - /media/closeofday-card.png: 200 image/png, 43,632 bytes, the docent's missing image. - /media/sample-orders-export.csv: 200 text/csv. - /orders-export-summary and /orders-export.js: 200. - /health: 200.
• In Chromium on the live page, "Try it with sample orders" gives 491.66 for the whole file and the invented-data line, with 0 page errors.
