Phase 44 Capture Board — Pre-Pitch Punch List Fixes

Waves

Atomic commits

W'burg leaks remain

📋 Kickoff prompt for next session (Founder iPad UAT)

Phase 44 closed. Walk the full pitch demo path on iPad and stress every change:

1. Switch cities from every tab → no W'burg leaks anywhere.
2. Tap a feed author in W'burg → real profile, not "User not found." (Repeat 6×.)
3. Open hero W'burg listing → tap Save → see "we'll notify on price changes" toast → reload → bookmark still filled. Tap the bookmark dot to disable price alert.
4. Open Say hi thread to a neighbor → 3 suggestion chips visible above input → tap "Wave hi" → message sends.
5. Filter feed by "Families" → 3 family-tagged posts visible (playdate / library workshop / Strider bike).
6. Open Neighbors browse → Families with kids chip → Park family + Sofia & Jin visible.
7. Open Vault on LA / Tokyo / Vesta → "Want Vault in your city? Vote" CTA below empty state → tap → count increments.
8. Open AI chat → first session shows "Ask The Nabe AI" tooltip → dismissible. Reload — tooltip stays dismissed.
9. Open any drawer + press Esc → closes. Open a Say hi thread + tap X → closes to caller (profile/explore), not inbox.
10. Open MorningBriefingDrawer → 8 section headers now render Lucide icons (Building2, Package, Moon, Flame, UserPlus, Heart, Bird/Heart, Star), no emoji.
11. Open Me / Family / Feed → warm violet→pink gradient background, no gray.
12. Eyeball the brand gradient on every demo surface — should be the dark Variant C (#1a0033 → #4c1d95 → #000000), nowhere the lighter violet→orchid variant from before.

Then review the 3 deck content drafts in pitch/:
- W5.17 valuation recalibration ($25-40M) → already applied to PITCH_OBJECTIONS + PITCH_STRATEGY.
- W5.18 Corcoran broker Monday-morning story → draft for slide insertion.
- W5.19 Williamsburg density projection → draft for slide insertion.
- W5.32 Meta-variant Neighborhoods-failure slide → draft for new pitch-deck-meta.html.

Flag anything that's wrong on iPad → those become Phase 45 (UAT round 2, expected 4-8h). Then IP letter, then outreach.

✅ Decisions locked (do not relitigate)

D-10 — Brand gradient SWEEP. Light variant retired entirely. All 224 occurrences of bg-gradient-brand-light* codemodded to bg-gradient-brand* (dark Variant C). Removed the .bg-gradient-brand-light* CSS class defs from src/index.css. The unified Variant C is the only brand gradient going forward.
D-12 — Compass agent names KEEP. Emma Chen / Marcus Reyes / Sofía Calderón stay. Names are common enough to not collide with real Compass agents; the alternative (renaming 25+ refs) was not pitch-blocking. Documented in pitch/COMPASS_CONTEXT.md.
D-53 — WC Hub V2 zinc theme EXEMPT. The bg-zinc-{50,100,200,800,900} "stadium" aesthetic in src/components/feed/wc-hub-v2/destinations/ is documented in DESIGN_STANDARDS as an event-context exception. Do NOT sweep these zinc classes.
Valuation anchor: $25-40M with creative structure + multi-bidder process. Replaces the prior "$40-60M inbound interest" framing across PITCH_OBJECTIONS §5 and PITCH_STRATEGY §4. Reffkin / Musk audits both flagged the higher anchor as oversell.
Save listing affordance: bookmark + price-alert popover. localStorage-backed (nabe_saved_listings + nabe_listing_price_alerts). Auto-on for price alerts when saving; tap dot indicator → popover toggle. No real notification system (mock for demo).
Families is a meta-filter, not a post type. Implemented as byEntityType?: 'family' | 'business' | 'broker' optional flag on BasePost. The Families feed chip filters by byEntityType === 'family'; the Families NeighborsBrowse chip filters by familyId !== null. Two surfaces, one entity concept.
ConversationThread X = full close. Back arrow (←) still routes to inbox. X icon + Esc both call closeMessaging() — closes everything, returns to caller surface. Fixes Marcus audit's two-tap-to-escape roach motel.

⬜ Open after Phase 44 (founder UAT + external)

Founder iPad UAT round. Walk all 12 verification steps above. Anything wrong becomes Phase 45 (UAT round 2, expected 4-8h).
Approve the 4 Wave 5 content drafts. Each has a "Founder review checklist" inline. Once approved, Claude converts the content to deck HTML.
IP clearance letter from outside counsel. Still external blocker for any outreach to Compass / X / Meta. Lawyer call scheduled.
Multi-bidder credibility setup. "We're talking to X and Meta too" only lands if there's a real trail of inbound. Tracked outside this repo by founder.

📌 Post-pitch high-priority backlog (founder-flagged)

NYC neighborhood heat-map view + saved-nabes dropdown. Captured 2026-05-27 mid-Phase 44. Tap NYC map polygon → set active nabe; per-neighborhood color modulated by liveness. Dropdown becomes saved/favorite nabes instead of all cities. Tracked in TODOS.md + memory/project_nyc_heatmap_backlog.md. NOT in Phase 44; pull into Phase 45 or dedicated phase post-pitch.
Wave 6 remaining hygiene items (W6.50 / W6.54 / W6.55 / W6.56 / W6.57). Smaller polish items deferred to post-pitch — text-lg sweep on names + stat counters, oversized Lucide icons in TabBar / BadgesGrid (intentional FAB), remaining emoji glyphs in NeighborhoodFavorites / CompareTable / MarkerPopup / FeaturedGuideCard, rounded-2xl chat-bubble exemption, saturated from-violet-500/700 chains in WelcomeLanding + CrossCityThreadSheet. None demo-visible.
7 NICE-TO-HAVEs from punch list (#58-#64). "What they don't tell you" named block (#58), components > 250 lines refactor (#59), EntityNavigationContext expansion (#60), PropertyDetail.tsx delete (#61), design token nits (#62), Compass/Airbnb deck markers (#63), selector dropdown visual privilege for demo-4 cities (#64).
