Work log: Authexis — March 6, 2026

What shipped today

Today was mostly issue triage and prep — cleaning up the backlog after yesterday’s intense Roland demo session. The focus was closing issues that were already shipped but never marked done, decomposing oversized issues, and prepping the next grindable work.

Issue triage closed 6 issues from v1-outbound. Cold workspace creation (#776) turned out to be fully functional already — admin form, v2 API, bootstrap pipeline, settings enrichment, and feed discovery all working end to end. Decomposed the remaining edge cases into three smaller child issues. The four outbound email issues (#777, #778, #779) were confirmed shipped — all 4 drip templates, voice mirroring, and Fastmail draft integration live. Pipeline split (#784) was also already done — auto_pipeline and briefing_email_enabled are independent settings in both engine and web. v1-outbound went from 10 open / 1 closed to 10 open / 6 closed.

Prepped #797 (intro field generating 200+ word intros) and labeled it grindable. Root cause: intro_content has no explicit prompt in the cascade (falls through to a generic fallback), AND the is_intro_field check in content_field_generate.py explicitly exempts intro fields from any length constraint. Fix is a single code change — replace the skip with a 75-word / 2-3 sentence cap. Assigned to v2.

Documented brand colors in PRODUCT.md. Added the full brand-50 through brand-900 palette with hex values and usage notes, ensuring the warm brown-to-cream identity is recorded alongside the product spec.

Completed

• #776 — Cold workspace creation (closed, decomposed into child issues)
• #777 — Auto-generate pipeline content for cold prospects (confirmed shipped, closed)
• #778 — Write 4 shell/template emails for cold drip (confirmed shipped, closed)
• #779 — Build email re-voicing (confirmed shipped, closed)
• #784 — Split pipeline automation into two settings (confirmed shipped, closed)
• #786 — Discover podcast and website sources (closed)
• #788 — Monitor a website that has no RSS feed (closed)
• #797 — Prepped and labeled ready-for-grind
• Brand color palette documented in PRODUCT.md

Release progress

• v1.5: 2 open / 3 closed (no due date)
• v2: 2 open / 18 closed (due 2026-04-01) — nearly complete
• v1-outbound: 10 open / 6 closed (due 2026-04-14) — heavy ops/setup work remaining

Carry-over

• Roland’s Google search terms need re-doing with 2028 festival focus — the refined terms from a previous session were overwritten during the Cowork profile upsert.
• Debug logging still in /auth/confirm route — should be removed once magic links are confirmed stable.
• Supabase Site URL keeps reverting to localhost — root cause still unknown. Monitor.

Risks

• Supabase Site URL instability. It reverted at least twice during yesterday’s demo. If it happens again, magic links break for all users. No code-side cause found — appears to be a Supabase dashboard persistence bug.
• PKCE same-browser requirement. Magic links only work if opened in the same browser that requested them. Email clients with built-in browsers (Outlook, Gmail app) will fail. May need to switch to non-PKCE flow or add user guidance.

Flags and watch-outs

• Roland’s workspace slug is -oland-uehlke-0d2c12a2 (missing the R) — cosmetic but visible to him.
• Vercel env var NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL was previously set to https://eclectis.vercel.app — wrong project. Check other env vars for cross-project contamination.

Next session

• Grind #797 (intro field length cap) — it’s ready-for-grind, single file change.
• Remove debug logging from /auth/confirm route.
• Re-do Roland’s search terms with 2028 festival focus. Check with Paul what the specific terms were.
• Prep outbound issues — #796 (admin UI for outbound emails) and #795 (voice analysis scores in email 1) are the most actionable of the remaining v1-outbound work.
• Consider prepping the unmilestoned RSS/website discovery cluster (#785, #787, #788, #789, #790, #791) and assigning to a milestone.
