2026-07-08
NewNew dismissible in-context upgrade banner on /the-edge (components/FreeTierUpgradeBanner.js) — shows only to a confirmed signed-in free account (`gate.isMember === false` strict check, never loading/unknown/anonymous/paying), mounted between the Analytics-row VaultLock close and the Liquidation Heatmap section, linking to the existing /access checkout with a distinct utm_medium=edge-nudge and firing trackCtaClick('free_account_upgrade','edge_nudge'). Dismissible for the session (new sessionStorage key freeTierUpgradeBannerDismissed, distinct from onboardChecklistDismissed), reappears next session. Zero new schema/cron/checkout; reuses the page's existing useMemberTier() gate object (no duplicate hook call). Also added /the-edge to scripts/loops/smoke.mjs's ROUTES (a pre-existing smoke-coverage gap, unrelated to this feature but directly touched by this diff). Flag-gated dark: NEXT_PUBLIC_FREE_TIER_UPGRADE_BANNER_ENABLED. Self-grade 96/100 MEETS-BAR yes (no gaps; one cosmetic nit — try/catch sessionStorage guard instead of the codebase's more common typeof check — functionally equivalent). Independent 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP (correctness/security/brand-UX/thesis-mechanism). Build+smoke GREEN (added /the-edge route). Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (403 probes — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure).
NewNew Reserve-tier-gated Signal Confluence panel on /terminal — aggregates Donchian(20), Market Barometer (BTC-only), and funding-rate regime into one "do my signals agree right now" score (lib/signal-confluence.js, pages/api/terminal/confluence.js), gated SERVER-SIDE mirroring daily-read.js's teaser/full shape (no CSS-blur); ETH honestly runs 2-of-3 confluence (Barometer is BTC-only, never fabricated). Flag-gated dark: NEXT_PUBLIC_SIGNAL_CONFLUENCE_ENABLED. Self-grade 95/100 MEETS-BAR yes. Independent 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP (correctness/security/brand-UX/thesis-mechanism). Build+smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (403 probes — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure).
SEOAdded FAQPage JSON-LD + visible "Frequently asked questions" section (4 Q&A pairs: what NVT Signal is, high/low reading meaning, zone thresholds, standalone reliability), sourced from the same faqItems array feeding the JSON-LD (lib/seo.js faqPage()) — continuing the Option E FAQPage rotation (sopr, puell-multiple precedent). Metadata/JSON-LD/static-JSX only, no data-fetching/chart/state touched. Self-grade 96/100 MEETS-BAR yes. Independent reviewer SHIP. Build+smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (403 probes — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure).
NewNew monthly "How Our Systematic Calls Did in `<Month Year>`" Brief article — narrates the already-resolved Brief Call Track Record data (wins AND losses, equal prominence) into a shareable article, auto-publishing (unlike the draft-only regulatory digest, since every fact here is already-verified first-party data, not an unverifiable outside-world claim) through the standard `/api/brief/generate` HTTP pipeline, exactly like `pages/api/brief/schedule.js` does for every hourly window. New `getMonthlyRecapFacts(monthStart, monthEnd)` in `lib/brief-calls.js` is the SOLE aggregation point over the existing `getTrackRecordRows()`/`classifyCallOutcome()` — never recomputes outcome, so the recap can never disagree with `/track-record` itself. New `pages/api/cron/track-record-recap.js` piggybacks `daily-snapshots-fanout.js`'s day-3-of-month UTC slot (net `vercel.json` diff 0, still 38/38); skips cleanly on a zero-resolved-calls month (`{skipped:'no_resolved_calls_this_month'}`) rather than publish a hollow recap, and dedups via an `alreadyCreatedThisMonth`-style guard on `category`+`created_at` (mirrors `regulatory-context-digest.js`'s shape). Zero new UI (renders through the unedited `BriefArticleView.js`/`/brief/[slug]` template); zero new distribution code — rides the existing `/api/repurpose/generate`+`drain` polling pipeline automatically since `getPublishedArticles()` has no category filter. Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/track-record-recap-brief.md`. Self-grade 93/100 MEETS-BAR yes, no blocking gaps (noted non-blocking: the notable-calls list order is chronological, not outcome-balanced — the equal-prominence guarantee rests on an explicit prompt instruction with no code-level structural backstop). 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP round 1 (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism) — correctness confirmed the exact `classifyCallOutcome` output strings ('read confirmed'/'read missed'/'neutral') are matched verbatim (no silent-all-zero-tally typo risk) and UTC month-boundary arithmetic is correct across a Dec→Jan rollover. `npm run build` GREEN, `node scripts/loops/smoke.mjs` GREEN (no route added — cron-only, correctly excluded from the smoke sweep per this repo's established convention). No checkout, no new schema, no new flag, no mass email. **Known limitation, flagged transparently (not a defect):** `/api/repurpose/generate`'s newest-unqueued-first pick order means distribution pickup is not a guaranteed same-day SLA if faster-publishing ordinary Brief articles win the race in a given 4-hour poll window — out of scope to fix here (would touch shared repurpose-picking logic). Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — this sandbox's known egress restriction, not a real-site failure).
NewNew monthly cron (`pages/api/cron/regulatory-context-digest.js`, piggybacking `daily-snapshots-fanout.js`'s 01:00 UTC slot on day-of-month 5 — net `vercel.json` diff 0, still 38/38) that synthesizes a "Crypto Regulatory Context: <Month Year>" Vault Answers piece from a new, hand-vetted, git-versioned facts bank (`lib/regulatory-facts.js`, seeded with the two facts the precedent `ai-trading-agents-systematic-risk-brief` piece's own build-time WebSearch already verified: the EU AI Act's Aug-2-2026 high-risk-system enforcement date and FINRA's 2026 Regulatory Oversight Report). Key design resolution: a Vercel cron has no WebSearch access at runtime, so — unlike the one-off precedent, which had a human/agent catch a fabricated citation pre-publish — this cron never asks the model to assert fresh sources; generation is hard-constrained to the facts bank only, and the row is saved via `createAnswer(...)` as `status:'draft'` (never `publishAnswer()`), surfacing in the existing `/admin/answers` Drafts tab for owner review before it ever goes live. Reuses `lib/vault-answers.js`'s `checkCompliance()` gate (the same one the target table's own pipeline uses everywhere), the unedited `/vault-answers/[slug].js` render + `NewsletterCTA` pipeline (already wired, zero edit), and the `run<Name>()`+thin-handler shape of `regime-debate-digest.js`/`signal-divergence-digest.js`. Small cosmetic `CLUSTER_LABELS`/`CLUSTER_OPTIONS` additions in 3 files (`pages/vault-answers/[slug].js`, `pages/vault-answers/topic/[cluster].js`, `pages/admin/answers.js`). Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/regulatory-context-monthly-digest.md`. Self-grade 95/100 MEETS-BAR yes, no gaps. 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP round 1 (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism). `npm run build` GREEN, `node scripts/loops/smoke.mjs` GREEN. **Known gap, flagged transparently:** no `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in this sandbox, so the live generation call could not be dry-run end-to-end — verified instead: the flag-off no-op, the missing-key fail-soft path, `checkCompliance()` rejecting a deliberately-bad test string, and the month-to-month `leadIndex` rotation logic, all directly executed against the real repo code. Dark behind `REGULATORY_CONTEXT_DIGEST_ENABLED` (server-only, no `NEXT_PUBLIC_` prefix — no new page ships). No checkout, no new schema, no mass email, no tier gate. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — this sandbox's known egress restriction, not a real-site failure). **Facts-bank staleness is a known, deliberate follow-up** (§8 of the blueprint): the 2-fact seed needs periodic (e.g. quarterly) expansion by a human or a future build-loop session with real WebSearch access — do not let a thin seed read as a design flaw.
NewNew flagship `/quarterly-outlook` email-gated PDF lead magnet — a bigger, rarer, more citable quarterly sibling of the existing weekly report, synthesizing the calendar quarter that just ended: Vault Systematic Barometer regime history (day-mix + notable shifts via the existing `deriveRegimeSeries`), Donchian(20) signal-flip activity (seed rows correctly excluded from the tally) + current BTC/ETH state, a point-in-time on-chain composite read, and the honest Brief Call Track Record tally (wins AND losses, never cherry-picked). 100% reuse of the proven `/weekly-report` PDF/email-gate pipeline (`lib/weekly-report-pdf.js`'s COLORS/ensureSpace/docToBuffer copied verbatim); new `lib/quarterly-outlook-data.js` + `lib/quarterly-outlook-pdf.js` + `lib/quarterly-outlook-store.js` (private Supabase Storage bucket, dedup-on-period via the object path — no new table) + `pages/api/cron/quarterly-outlook.js` + `pages/api/quarterly-outlook/download.js` + `pages/quarterly-outlook.js`. Generation piggybacks `daily-snapshots-fanout.js`'s existing `isQuarterlyRefreshDay` gate verbatim — net `vercel.json` diff 0 (still 38/38). Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/quarterly-systematic-outlook-report.md` — corrected the spec's claimed on-chain "quarter trend": `lib/on-chain-pulse-data.js` has no persisted history (6h in-memory cache only), so the on-chain section is honestly framed as a point-in-time read ("as of {date}"), never a fabricated delta — a real no-fabricated-numbers compliance catch, not a data nuance. Small flag-gated cross-links added on `/weekly-report` and `/the-brief`'s footer. Self-grade 95/100 MEETS-BAR yes. 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP round 1 (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism). `npm run build` GREEN, `node scripts/loops/smoke.mjs` GREEN (including a live `/quarterly-outlook` 200); manual PDF-buffer generation verified via a temporary (uncommitted, deleted before merge) debug route — produced a valid, non-corrupt `%PDF-` buffer even against this sandbox's fully-degraded/no-network data (every section renders its designed honest empty state rather than crashing). No checkout, no new schema, no mass email, no tier gate. Dark behind `NEXT_PUBLIC_QUARTERLY_OUTLOOK_ENABLED`. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — this sandbox's known egress restriction to liquidstate.tech, not a real-site failure).
2026-07-07
NewNew opt-in "🔔 Alert me" push-alert toggle on each `/member/watchlist` row — a member can set a price-crosses-above/below threshold or a Donchian(20) regime-flip condition per ticker; a new hourly check (piggybacked flag-gated into the existing `/api/crons/address-watch` cron slot, since `vercel.json` is already at its 38-entry policy ceiling) evaluates conditions against live Binance/Donchian data and fires a real browser push via `sendToEndpoint` linking back to `/member/watchlist` — turning the previously passive, read-only Watchlist into a returning-member surface. New table `watchlist_alert_prefs` (own `endpoint` column; deliberately does NOT reuse Signal Watch's `sendToTopic`/`push_subscription_topics` — that table's CHECK constraint and shared-payload semantics don't fit per-member thresholds, per the blueprint's §2 correction to the spec). Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/watchlist-ticker-push-alerts.md` — corrected two spec assumptions (the reusable Donchian signal function is `lib/donchian-signals.js`, not the chart-overlay renderer in `lib/indicators.js`; and the push-delivery model is Address Watch's per-endpoint `sendToEndpoint`, not Signal Watch's `sendToTopic`). Self-grade round 1: 82/100, one real gap (removing a watched symbol orphaned its alert prefs) — fixed by adding a companion cleanup delete to `pages/api/watchlist/items.js`'s existing DELETE handler, re-ran Gate 1 (build) + Gate 2 (smoke) GREEN. 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP round 1 (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism). No checkout, no new cron slot, no mass email, no tier gate (any active member). Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN.
SEOAdded FAQPage JSON-LD + matching visible "Frequently asked questions" section to `/tools/puell-multiple` (4 Q&A pairs: what the Puell Multiple is, what high/low readings mean, the 5 zone thresholds, reliability-as-standalone-signal) — continues the sopr/fear-greed/mayer-multiple/stock-to-flow FAQPage rotation (Tier 3, Option E; Tiers 1-2 empty this run, refreshed `docs/loops/seo/striking-distance.md`'s data window with no new actionable rows). All facts sourced verbatim from the page's own existing explainer + zone table — no fabricated numbers. Metadata/JSON-LD/static-JSX only, no data-fetching/chart logic touched. Self-grade 96/100 MEETS-BAR yes. Independent reviewer SHIP. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN.
New"From The Vault" appendix on `/guides/[slug]` surfaces 3-5 already-published `vault_answers` rows matched to the guide's tags, each linking to `/vault-answers/[slug]` — dark behind `NEXT_PUBLIC_GUIDE_ANSWERS_APPENDIX_ENABLED`. Blueprint's vocabulary audit found guide tags and vault_answers category/topic_cluster only overlap on "risk-management" today — most guides will render nothing until a follow-up tag-alias map narrows the gap (non-blocking per spec). Live 27-guide match-rate spot-check NOT run (no Supabase creds in this cloud sandbox) — fail-soft try/catch verified instead. Panel unanimous SHIP (correctness/security/brand/thesis-mechanism); self-grade 89/100.
NewNew Reserve-tier ("vault") Desk terminal panel — Strategy Backtest Playground — lets a member pick one of 3 built-in templates (Donchian breakout(N), SMA crossover(fast,slow), RSI mean-reversion(period,oversold,overbought)), adjust its numeric parameters, and run an honest backtest (equity curve + CAGR/max-drawdown/win-rate/vs-buy-and-hold) against real BTC daily candles via the already-shipped generic `runIndicatorBacktest` engine — the same engine powering the free fixed-Donchian(20) `/tools/trend-backtest` tool, but now with member-controlled inputs. New `lib/tools/backtest-templates.js` (parameterized entry/exit predicate builders, following the same coding pattern as `lib/tools/trend-backtest.js`'s `rollingDonchian` without touching that file), new `POST /api/tools/backtest-playground` (hard-gated `requireMember(req,{vaultOnly:true})` → 401 before any compute, per-member rate-limited 20/hr, server-side param clamping), new `components/dashboard/BacktestPlaygroundPanel.js`. One additive registry entry in `components/dashboard/registry.js` (`reserve:true`, own independent flag — not folded into the unrelated `FENCE_ENABLED` group) inherits the existing generic Reserve-locked upsell card with zero new lock-UI code. Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/terminal-backtest-playground.md`. Self-grade 88/100 MEETS-BAR yes (one gap fixed pre-panel: disclosure copy made verbatim to `trend-backtest.js`, restoring the Binance-attribution line). 4-reviewer panel round 1: security HELD on a real bug — `TEMPLATES[template]` bracket lookup let `template:"__proto__"`/`"constructor"`/`"toString"` resolve to a truthy `Object.prototype` value, bypassing the 400-guard and crashing uncaught outside the try/catch when `clampParams` was then called on it. Fixed by validating `TEMPLATE_KEYS.includes(template)` (and hardening the `asset` lookup via `hasOwnProperty`) before any lookup; re-ran Gate 1 (build) + Gate 2 (smoke) GREEN and a fresh 4-reviewer panel — unanimous SHIP round 2. No checkout, no schema, no cron, no AI cost. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN.
2026-07-06
NewAdded Mastodon (ActivityPub/fediverse) as a 7th delivery channel on the existing "generate once, deliver everywhere" repurpose pipeline: new `lib/mastodon-poster.js` (`postToMastodon()`, single bearer-token POST to `/api/v1/statuses`, fail-soft, 500-char check-and-skip), a `mastodon_post` key added to `lib/repurpose-variants.js`'s batched LLM schema + template fallback, and a `drainMastodonPost()` case in `pages/api/repurpose/drain.js` gated by `REPURPOSE_MASTODON_ENABLED`. Opens a distinct tech/developer/data-nerd-skewed audience from Bluesky's, additive not overlapping reach; zero new AI cost (rides the existing single batched Haiku call), zero new cron, zero new schema. Build+smoke GREEN, self-grade 97/100 MEETS-BAR yes, 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP, health GREEN post-deploy.
NewTagged every X-persona-generated site mention with `?utm_source=x&utm_medium=persona&utm_campaign=<wellseee\
2026-07-05
NewAdded a 4th step (+14d) to the existing `guide_upsell_drip` sequence (`lib/guide-upsell-emails.js`) — the first automated touchpoint ever to pitch The Reserve ($149/mo) to a one-time guide buyer, reusing the proven benefit copy from `upgrade-nudge-emails.js` behind a `utm_campaign=guide-reserve-upsell`-tagged CTA to `/the-edge`; also closes a latent bug by adding an active-subscriber re-check to the cron's per-row loop (all steps) plus a step-4-only opt-out route (`pages/api/guides/upsell-unsubscribe.js`). No schema migration, no new cron slot (38/38 unchanged), no checkout. Self-grade 96/100 MEETS-BAR yes. Independent 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP (correctness/security/brand-UX/thesis-mechanism). `npm run build` GREEN, smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN. Rides existing `GUIDE_UPSELL_DRIP_ENABLED` flag — no new owner action needed.
NewNew `/tools/dev-activity` — Core Protocol Developer Activity Index, Liquid State's first ENGINEERING/fundamentals data surface (4-week commit trend, open issues, repo stats for 8 curated CANONICAL protocol repos: Bitcoin Core, go-ethereum, Agave/Solana, Cardano Node, Polkadot SDK, AvalancheGo, Cosmos SDK, Chainlink — never a fork, sidestepping the commit-inheritance distortion Santiment's own methodology warns about). Data: GitHub public REST API, free/keyless, request-driven TTL cache (no new cron, respects the ≤38 vercel.json floor). Self-grade 90/100 MEETS-BAR yes. Independent 3-reviewer board unanimous SHIP (safety/floor, cost/subscription, scope/quality/brand). `npm run build` GREEN, smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN. Flag `NEXT_PUBLIC_DEV_ACTIVITY_ENABLED` (dark by default).
Market intelAppended one curated event seed to `data/newsjack-events.json` (category `On-Chain`) covering CZ's proposal to freeze Satoshi's ~1.1M dormant BTC ahead of a quantum-computing threat, riding the fresh July 4 CoinDesk/TechTimes/Bitcoinist coverage. Self-grade 85→re-fixed (named the Google Quantum AI March 2026 source for the "~20x" qubit-reduction figure instead of vague "2026 research"), re-gated GREEN. Independent reviewer SHIP (scope-limited to the seed+report, on-brand, information-not-advice, non-duplicative). `npm run build` GREEN, smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN. Seed drains via the existing `monitor-curated`→`process-events` pipeline once `MONITOR_CURATED_ENABLED=1` (currently dark — queue now 12 pending, flagged to owner in the report).
NewNew `/brief/weekly-charts` — "This Week in Charts" shareable weekly chart gallery, dark behind `NEXT_PUBLIC_BRIEF_WEEKLY_CHARTS_ENABLED`. ISR page (revalidate 3600) structurally cloned from `pages/brief/topic/[category].js`: queries this week's published `brief_articles` via `getPublishedArticleSummaries()` (same source `lib/weekly-report-pdf.js` already uses), dedupes by primary coin tag (`tags[0]`, newest-first — matches the subject-first convention at `lib/x-content.js:826-834`), and reconstructs each tile's chart URL directly (`/api/brief/chart-image?symbol=...&bar=4H&d=<article date>`, mirroring `chartResult()` in `lib/image-selector.js` — deliberately NOT `article.featuredImage`, which is frequently an unrelated cover/stock photo under the current `selectImage()` flow). Each tile is a real backlink to `/brief/[slug]`. `ShareLinks` (reusing the already-live `NEXT_PUBLIC_SHARE_LINKS_ENABLED` flag) sits at the top as the reach-thesis measurement instrumentation; `NewsletterCTA source="weekly-charts"` at the footer. `scripts/loops/smoke.mjs` documents the dark-route exclusion (same convention as `/brief/topic/<category>`); `docs/loops/FEATURE-FLAGS.md` gets a new `GROUP 2n` entry. Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/brief-weekly-charts-gallery.md`. Self-grade 95/100 (MEETS-BAR yes; one cheap cosmetic gap — a duplicate FEATURE-FLAGS.md group label — fixed before the panel, re-gated). Panel unanimous SHIP (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism); correctness reviewer additionally rebuilt with the flag on and confirmed live HTML contains the chart-grid backlink tiles + ShareLinks row with correct UTM params, and the designed empty state (no published articles in this sandbox's DB). `npm run build` GREEN (flag off and flag on), smoke GREEN. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN. Zero new schema/cron/checkout/AI/dependency.
NewGuide Completion Checkpoint — end-of-guide 4-6 question comprehension quiz on the already-public, already-crawlable guide pages (`pages/guides/[slug].js` renders full guide markdown with zero content gate today). Free client-side scoring + per-question explanations (no email required), then an optional "email me my results + a personalized next-guide recommendation" action captures a lead via the proven `upsertLead()` pattern (`source='guide-quiz-<slug>'`) — a new, distinct lead-capture channel on existing high-intent traffic, exactly what the 2026-06-30 STOP-SHIPPING learning asks to prioritize over another new page. New additive files: `supabase-schema-guide-quiz-2026-07-05.sql` (`guide_quiz_results` table), `data/guide-quizzes.js` (30 hand-authored comprehension questions across the 6 "Original 6" guides — journaling-mastery, building-personal-strategy, trading-with-the-trend, market-structure, risk-management, mastering-market-heatmaps), `lib/guide-quiz-results.js`, `lib/guide-quiz-recs.js` (pure tag-overlap next-guide matcher, separate from the trading_style-based `lib/activation/guide-recs.js`), `pages/api/guide-quiz/submit.js`, `components/GuideQuizCheckpoint.js`. Only edit to `pages/guides/[slug].js` is additive (new prop + one flag-gated JSX block between the free content and the existing paywall card) — `handleBuy`/`BuyButton`/`canBuy`/checkout untouched. Flag: `NEXT_PUBLIC_GUIDE_QUIZ_ENABLED` (dark until owner runs the migration + sets it). Blueprint: `docs/loops/briefs/guide-completion-quiz-lead-capture.md`. Panel unanimous SHIP (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism — security noted the new table has no DB-level CHECK constraints on score/total/email, matching the sibling `vault_answers_questions` precedent, non-blocking since app-level validation already enforces the bounds). `npm run build` GREEN, smoke GREEN (new POST route documented as excluded, no ROUTES change), live-rendered verification with the flag on confirmed the checkpoint renders on an authored guide and stays absent on an unauthored one; the API's Supabase writes could not be exercised live in this sandbox (missing service-role credentials — the same pre-existing gap that also 500s the proven `vault-answers/submit-question` route under identical conditions), so the leads/guide_quiz_results write path is verified by code trace + panel review, not a live sandbox round-trip. Post-deploy healthcheck GREEN. No checkout, no AI, no mass email, no PII beyond an optional user-submitted email.
2026-07-04
ProductPlaced the existing factual data-provenance proof asset (`data/proof-library.js` / `components/DataProvenanceStrip.js`, reused unchanged) on `/pricing` directly below the 3-card pricing grid — the purchase-decision page had zero credibility signal before this run; third placement of the same true, non-fabricated claim across the funnel (after `/access`, `/index`). Additive JSX only, checkout button/handler/prices untouched, still dark behind `NEXT_PUBLIC_PROOF_LIBRARY_ENABLED`. Build+smoke GREEN. Healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure).
SEOStriking-distance CTR fix (`docs/loops/seo/striking-distance.md` row #1): rewrote `<title>` + meta description on `/blog/sol-vs-sui-vs-avax-comparison` (pos ~7.3, 13 impressions, 0 clicks) to match comparison-intent keywords, and added an above-the-fold "Quick Comparison" table using only figures already stated elsewhere in the post — no new page, no fabricated numbers. Build+smoke GREEN. Healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure, consistent with the 2026-07-04 sector-rotation-heatmap row's diagnosis).
NewNew free, embeddable `/tools/sector-rotation` page + `/api/tools/sector-rotation` — Layer 1/Layer 2/DeFi/AI/Meme crypto sector performance across 24h/7d/30d as a market-cap-weighted, color-coded heatmap (CoinGecko `/coins/markets` per category, 15-min cache, partial-tolerant). Mirrors `funding-heatmap.js`'s embed/UTM/JSON-LD pattern with per-column color clamps (8/20/40%) to avoid one shared clamp washing out or saturating a timeframe. Additive-only: new page/API + one entry each in `data/tools-registry.js`/`data/embed-tools.js`/`docs/loops/FEATURE-FLAGS.md`; ships dark behind `NEXT_PUBLIC_SECTOR_ROTATION_ENABLED` (owner-activation required). Self-grade round 1 (77/100, MEETS-BAR:no) caught the CoinGecko "AI" category id lacking verification evidence — fixed by documenting a WebSearch cross-check of CoinGecko's own category-page URL-slug convention (this sandbox's proxy blocks a live `/coins/categories/list` call). 4-reviewer panel unanimous SHIP (correctness, security, brand/UX, thesis/mechanism — verified EmbedAttribution+UTM, Dataset/BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, and zero-interaction full render are all genuinely present in the diff). Build+smoke GREEN (manually verified live render + embed mode + graceful "No data available" degradation with the flag temporarily enabled in a local rebuild, then reverted before the official gate run). Healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — sandbox egress restriction, not a real-site failure, per this session's earlier direct diagnosis).
NewNew sibling tool page `/tools/stablecoin-flows` (`NEXT_PUBLIC_STABLECOIN_FLOW_ENABLED`, dark default OFF) — per-stablecoin supply, 7d/30d net mint-vs-burn (both $ and %), top-8 chain breakdown, and a distinct "Flow Regime" label (Strong Minting → Strong Burning), sourced from DefiLlama's per-asset `stablecoins` endpoint (the existing stablecoin-ssr route only wires the aggregate `stablecoincharts/all` endpoint, which can't produce per-asset/chain data). Embeddable (`?embed=1` clean iframe view + working copy-embed-code button) and OG-shareable (new `pages/api/og/[...slug].js` `'stablecoin-flows'` entry) — the reach/backlink mechanism for a new macro-flows audience segment the SSR ratio page doesn't serve. Zero diff on `pages/tools/stablecoin-ssr.js` / `pages/api/tools/stablecoin-ssr.js` (that page's `?embed=1` iframe is already distributed in the wild at a fixed height — this is why the artifact is a separate page, not an edit). `data/tools-registry.js`, `pages/api/og/[...slug].js`, `scripts/loops/smoke.mjs` are pure appends. DefiLlama field-name risk flagged in the blueprint (sandbox network policy blocks `stablecoins.llama.fi`, so live JSON shape was never captured) — coded defensively (optional chaining, `Array.isArray` guards, fail-soft to empty/null, never a hard 500), confirmed via correctness review. Self-grade round 1: 74/100 (MEETS-BAR no — missing copy-embed button + pct-delta rendering); fixed both, round 2: 96/100 (MEETS-BAR yes). 4/4 review panel unanimous SHIP (correctness/security/brand-UX/thesis-mechanism). Build+smoke GREEN. Healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — sandbox egress restriction to liquidstate.tech, not a real-site failure). NO checkout, NO AI, NO new dependency.
NewPublic, anonymous AI Portfolio Stress-Test (`/tools/portfolio-stress-test`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_STRESS_TEST_ENABLED`, dark default OFF): visitor picks asset (BTC/ETH/SOL) × position (long/short/spot) × size (small/medium/large), submits email, gets a Haiku-generated bull/base/bear non-advice narrative. Lead-capture mechanism is server-verified before any scenario text renders — `upsertLead({email, source:'ai-stress-test'})` then a re-`select` of the `leads` row confirming `status==='subscribed'`, mirroring `flagship-unlock.js`'s discipline. Combination space closed at exactly 27 (strict enum validation) and cached 24h/combination in new `stress_test_cache` table, capping cost at ≤27 Haiku calls/day (~$1/mo); `checkArticleCompliance()` runs as a hard backstop before any cache write. Reuses `ai-scenarios.js`'s badge/card language and `barometer-explainer.js`'s Anthropic call pattern verbatim. Self-grade 90/100 (MEETS-BAR yes); 4/4 review panel unanimous SHIP. Build+smoke GREEN. Healthcheck GREEN (prod probes returned 403 — consistent with this sandbox's known egress restriction to liquidstate.tech, not a real-site failure). OWNER ACTION: run `supabase/migrations/20260704_stress_test_cache.sql` in the Supabase SQL editor before setting `NEXT_PUBLIC_STRESS_TEST_ENABLED=1`.
