   Guide is a step-by-step book for each package

   Guide now follows the package on the login. A free seat reads the free edition. An MSP seat reads the MSP book. The Enlighten admin login is the only one that sees every package.

   • ●Each section is ordered steps: sign in, then the map, then the shop tools that package includes.
   • ●https://lantern.enlightenstudios.us/guide — Harborline pictures stay labeled Demo. Password hashes untouched.

   Play Store and App Store certification started

   One Lantern for free and paid shops. The seat is the license — not a second paid app. Operator checklist is on /admin/store. Testers still sideload the APK or Add to Home Screen until Google and Apple list it.

   • ●Package us.enlightenstudios.lantern on both stores. Apple Universal Links wait on the Team ID. Privacy page covers phone apps.

   /signup unfurls a free-edition card

   SMS, iMessage, Facebook, and X on /signup show a navy Lantern card that says Free edition — same lockup and Powered by Enlighten as the frozen site card. The rest of the site still uses lantern-og.png.

   • ●public/lantern-og-free.png is 1200×630 on nginx httpdocs. Page metadata points og:image and twitter:image at that URL only.

   House breaker stays Electric Pro — Ask to upgrade

   Free testers who open Panels or Drops see honest Electric Pro copy and Ask to upgrade. No fake house panel map. Android/iPhone install copy now says not Play Store / not App Store yet. Testers still have to sideload or add the Home Screen icon.

   • ●free-residential-tier is Doing 90% — breaker step is the paid ask, not a free schedule. APK and iPhone cards stay open.

   Signup page is tighter and more professional

   /signup is a two-column launch: form on the left, packages plus Android and iPhone cards on the right. Shorter install steps. Email Enlighten chip instead of a wrapping Talk pill.

   • ●Sign up for a free account sits in the first column so testers do not scroll past eight Android steps to reach the form.

   Free signup type matches the rest of Lantern

   /start, /signup, and the guide packages strip use Outfit at in-app card scale. The orange Impact-like poster headings are gone.

   • ●Hero and Sign up titles are section-title (Outfit ExtraBold 1.75–2.15rem, tracking -0.02em). Not display-title 6xl/7xl.

    Free test launch — guide and a usable empty map

    Free testers can sign up, open Floors/Air/Switches/Computers/Lens/Find on their own empty building, draw a Path, and read a guide that does not treat Harborline as their house. Jobs and Billing stay Ask to upgrade. This is a test launch for improvements.

    • ●Path on the everyday Floors map plus PDF studio. Find hides Harborline sample chips on a real empty plant. Computers empty copy does not assume Cobus or the shop EXE.
    • ●/guide and /admin/guide split Free vs Cable Pro vs Electric Pro vs operator. New pictures: packages-free.png, floors-path.png. Harborline PNGs labeled Demo.

1. this deploy

   SQL-primary and honest Air/Stats are checked off

   Doing cards durable-client-db, auth-sql-opt-in, and wifi-stats close honestly. Live Sign in already reads Postgres. Air and Stats count walk samples, not Tacoma fiction on a real building. Replica stays unused. First-building still waits on Michael’s street.

   • ●durable-client-db — SQL-primary. JSON backup never deleted. LANTERN_DATABASE_REPLICA_URL parsed and unused.
   • ●auth-sql-opt-in — LANTERN_SQL_READ=1 dual-read is the shipped opt-in. No second auth system.
   • ●wifi-stats — walk-sample quality / band / SSID. Harborline labeled. Controller AP airtime not this phase. Not first-building.

1. this deploy

   Collector overlay classifies clients; replica hook later

   Imported closets classify phones, APs, printers, and PCs from the collector client name. Guest SSIDs are skipped. Remote replica is a documented env hook only — Sign in stays SQL-primary with JSON backup.

   • ●Overlay matches switch FQDNs and names phones / APs / printers / cameras from the controller client. A neighbor phone on a PC stays a workstation.
   • ●Meraki and UniFi skip guest / visitor SSIDs. Neighbor walk does not hop a guest SSID. No WAN sweep from Plesk.
   • ●Aruba / Juniper / MikroTik map a pasted one-shape JSON; live pull stays a stub. Instant On never. Real switch pull is not done.
   • ●LANTERN_DATABASE_REPLICA_URL is parsed and ignored for Sign in. Never delete lantern.json. Did not restyle frozen OG, rail, or plant lists.

2. this deploy

   Store runs on Postgres — JSON is the backup

   Sign in and getStore read local Postgres after a dual-read proof. mutateStore writes the full store (tickets, plants jsonb, boards) to SQL; lantern.json stays on disk as backup and is never deleted.

   • ●LANTERN_SQL_READ=1 in the systemd drop-in. Password stays in /etc/lantern/database.env (0600, not git).
   • ●Ten seats, operator scrypt hash unchanged. Empty or mismatched SQL falls back to JSON.
   • ●Roll back by running deploy/postgres-sql-read.sh off — JSON remains source of truth.

3. this deploy

   Postgres loaded — Sign in still JSON

   Client data is copied into local Postgres. mutateStore dual-writes when LANTERN_DATABASE_URL is set. Live Sign in still reads lantern.json. JSON stays the backup until a dual-read is proven.

   • ●Least-privilege role lantern, database lantern, password in /etc/lantern/database.env (0600, not git).
   • ●Importer copies stored password hashes unchanged. Verify compares user counts and the operator hash without printing hashes.
   • ●LANTERN_SQL_READ is unset. Do not point Sign in at an empty database.

   • auth
   • ops

4. this deploy

   Store SQL map — still JSON Sign in

   The opt-in Postgres schema now covers users, orgs, and the rest of the shop store (buildings, tickets, jobs, plants as jsonb, collector token hashes). Live Sign in still reads lantern.json. Production stays on JSON until LANTERN_DATABASE_URL is set and a dual-read is proven.

   • ●Importer copies stored password hashes unchanged. Re-import does not overwrite a hash already in SQL.
   • ●Generic DATABASE_URL is ignored so a stray env cannot cut Sign in over.
   • ●Least-privilege grants live in deploy/postgres-grants.sql with no password. Disk is tight — no dumps in the web root, Postgres not installed on the Plesk box this pass.
   • store
   • auth
   • ops

5. this deploy

   Opt-in Postgres schema for auth — Sign in still JSON

   JSON on a root-only VM is not insecure because it is JSON. SQL is better later for concurrent writes and backups. Live Sign in still reads lantern.json. Hashes stay scrypt strings; Postgres does not encrypt them.

   • ●LANTERN_DATABASE_URL unset = no-op. mutateStore still writes /root/Lantern/data/lantern.json.
   • ●Schema covers orgs, users, password resets, and a reserved sessions table (cookies today).
   • ●Importer copies stored password hashes unchanged. Fixture tests, not live hashes in git.
   • ●Turn on later: install Postgres off the login path, apply deploy/postgres-auth.sql, dry-run the importer, then the systemd drop-in. Do not point Sign in at an empty database.

   Live tenant file survives deploys

   A release rsyncs the app and excludes data/. Operator sign-in is not reset by shipping code. The live store stays on the server data directory. This log does not discuss credential internals.

   • ●113a6d9 03:02 UTC · Live — Keep operator credentials on the live data dir.
   • ●Deploy never sends or overwrites the live tenant file.
