+# LAUNCH-00 source audit - partial checkpoint
+
+2026-11-02. `feature/launch-site-redesign`, accepted conditional baseline `5cb903b989742b7a96cb22ddf4c0e24993b18980`. Full authoritative homepage prompt read. LAUNCH-00 IN_PROGRESS; LAUNCH-01 concepts NOT YET PRODUCED. No final design selected or implemented.
+
+| Finding | Source evidence | User implication / proposed direction |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Main Get started opens sign-in | `LandingPage.tsx` passes `goToLogin` to hero CTA; Free-plan CTA separately goes to `/register` | Registration intent has an extra mode-selection step. Propose direct registration while preserving sign-in return state |
+| Existing signup owner should be reused | `App.tsx:522` maps `/register` to `LoginPage initialMode=register`; LoginPage respects auth config and registration availability | No second onboarding implementation; final CTA must reflect actual enabled registration |
+| Product previews are conceptual assets | `LandingPage.tsx` uses `/mockups/dashboard.svg`, `pipeline.svg`, `workspace.svg` | Replace with provenance-bound synthetic captures in approved design; never label current artwork a genuine screenshot |
+| Implementation details occupy hero copy | LandingPage renders React/TypeScript/ASP.NET/EF/FastAPI/Gmail text | Replace with plain user outcomes across professions; framework names do not explain job-search value |
+| Marketing content depends on client execution and auth probe | `app/page.tsx` loads ClientShell; `ClientShell.tsx` uses `ssr:false`; LandingPage shows loading until `/auth/me` resolves/rejects | Crawlable HTML and loading/failure behavior need measured review; cannot assume static export includes full marketing copy |
+| Metadata is generic | `app/layout.tsx` has global title/description and initial `lang=en` | Design market/content-locale metadata and canonical/alternate rules without disturbing authenticated routing; no SEO score claimed |
+| Brand continuity exists | Indigo/cyan hero, shared MUI/theme, custom en/nb translations | Explore distinct compositions while preserving identity; avoid rebuilding app shell |
+| Product presentation is limited | Six feature cards, six steps and three conceptual images; no actual redesigned CV/import/gallery imagery | Prioritise actual accepted tracking, canonical Career Profile and reviewed document workflow; do not imply new Global Jobs is shipped |
+| Pricing shows capabilities, not amounts | `planCatalog.ts` defines Free/Pro, explicitly delegates commercial terms to configured checkout | Do not invent amounts/currencies/trials or promise active Pro AI; release and entitlement validation required |
+| Footer lacks privacy/legal links in this component | LandingPage footer contains copyright text and sign-in button | Verify existing legal destinations and approved copy before adding links; no invented compliance claims |
+| Responsive layouts are declared | MUI breakpoints change hero controls, feature grids, plan columns and footer | Source intent only; mobile/tablet/keyboard/reflow/contrast require actual rendered checks |
+
+Preserve signed-in redirect to `/dashboard`, interrupted protected-route return state, shared language behavior, plan policy ownership and existing registration constraints. New public market language must not overwrite job-ad or document output language. Existing custom en/nb implementation is not full European locale support.
+
+Not yet checked: current rendered desktop/mobile site, external design-pattern research, runtime signup, slow/offline auth probe, keyboard/AT/contrast, image loading/performance, crawled output, real deployment availability and final asset rights. These omissions keep LAUNCH-00 open. No product tests were rerun for this Markdown-only source checkpoint.

+# Preliminary claims and content boundaries
+
+All claims below are **WITHHELD from public release approval**. Source implementation and conditional development acceptance do not establish production availability. No production inspection was authorised or performed.
+
+| Proposed subject | Implementation/development evidence | Missing marketing proof |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Track applications in table/Kanban | Existing LandingPage/plan catalogue and conditional pre-P10 handoff | Deployed version, applicable account entitlement, genuine synthetic capture and approved copy |
+| Career Profile and CV variants | Canonical profile/document contracts in architecture and CV handoff | Current deployed behavior and accurate plan/theme availability |
+| Import, review and correct CV facts | Pre-P10 accepted deterministic supported-fixture workflow | No universal parsing or AI-accuracy claim; actual released formats/languages and limitations |
+| CV templates and PDF | Scoped development appearance/metric approval retained | Physical-print limits, deployed design/version and screenshots |
+| Reminders/mail/integrations | Existing source owners; provider qualification separate | Actual enabled countries/providers/consent/delivery; avoid blanket automation promises |
+| International job search | GJ-00 planning separately published; later implementation blocked | Accepted implementation, provider rights and per-country deployed capabilities |
+| AI assistance | Some contracts implemented; real CV model quality/activation blocked | Accepted model compatibility/accuracy, privacy/consent and enabled deployment |
+| Free/Pro | Shared public catalogue exists; no price encoded here | Server policy/checkout consistency, active billing, tax/currency wording and approved current prices |
+| Languages | Existing en/nb source catalogues; I18N audit separate | Native review and per-surface release state; additional locale candidates are not supported language packs |
+| Privacy/security | Existing controls and conditional security evidence | Approved truthful wording; no certification/compliance guarantee |
+
+Each final catalogue entry needs feature ID, implementation commit, acceptance artifact, deployed version, entitlement, market, locale, screenshot provenance and owner marketing approval. Missing fields deny availability claims. This is a documentation contract, not a new executable publishing system.
+
+Proposed section sequence for concept exploration: outcome-led hero; genuine tracking preview; career/document journey; broad-profession story; how it works; verified plans; FAQ; registration CTA; legal/support footer. Final order remains a design choice. No fabricated customer quotes, statistics, discounts or job-provider coverage.

+# Partial homepage planning handoff
+
+Branch `feature/launch-site-redesign`, baseline `5cb903b989742b7a96cb22ddf4c0e24993b18980`. Documentation-only source audit. LAUNCH-00 remains IN_PROGRESS. LAUNCH-01 four actual desktop/mobile concepts are PENDING, not replaced by written descriptions. No owner design decision requested until reviewable concepts exist.
+
+Next authorised work:
+
+1. Inspect rendered homepage/signup and research contemporary patterns using credible public sources. Preserve existing routing and privacy boundaries.
+2. Obtain provenance-bound synthetic screenshots from accepted evidence or an isolated test environment. The committed pre-P10 visual manifest contains real PDF previews/contact sheets, not a complete set of dashboard/CV editor/mobile product captures. Inspect any image before reuse; do not touch the separate pre-p10-ux worktree.
+3. Produce four distinct, viewable desktop/mobile concepts and an asset/licence manifest. No external image/font acquisition without appropriate rights. Concept placeholders cannot be represented as real application screenshots.
+4. Present concrete concepts for mix-and-match owner feedback, then stop final implementation until explicit final-design approval. Design approval does not authorise publication.
+
+No assets, app code, tests, routes, packages, production services or authenticated dashboard were changed. Rendered/browser/performance/accessibility/SEO checks NOT RUN. No production feature/pricing/language availability was asserted.
+
+The delegated design task stopped at a service usage limit before saving deliverables. Parent continued the source audit and preserved this checkpoint. No design agent is running in the background.
