Waukesha, Wisconsin · what’s new
What’s new.
Living log of what shipped. Launch is the deadline and the gates — charge the walk Friday, September 25, 2026. This page is the diary. Harborline is the demo plant, not a customer.

Coming soon keeps Sign up as the only link
https://lantern.enlightenstudios.us/coming-soon is the free edition on top and the shop tiers underneath. The header and footer on that page no longer open Launch, the one-pager, or the contractor site.
- ●The only link on the page is Sign up.
- ●The Lantern lockup and Powered by Enlighten Studios stay on the page.

Promo film speaks plainly, and Coming soon sells the free edition
The promo video on /admin/promote is a new read. The squares no longer print a web address, so the Friday post can carry the link. /coming-soon is the free edition on top and the shop tiers underneath.
- ●Download the MP4 with voice from Promo. Powered by Enlighten Studios stays on the squares.
- ●https://lantern.enlightenstudios.us/coming-soon opens with Sign up. Cable Pro, Electric Pro, Electric + Cable, MSP, and Advanced sit below. Password hashes untouched.

Four information homepages, not the control panel
The four /samples/launch-home sites are information pages like a studio homepage: what Lantern does, who it is for, how a shop starts, packages, questions. Hero may rotate a modest feature banner. Not an app rail. Did not replace /signup.
- ●Site 1 classic long. Site 2 split magazine. Site 3 form first. Site 4 editorial text. BrandLogo + StudioCredit. Pick a number.
this ship
Four full Lantern homepage designs
What people see at the new domain: four complete homepages at /samples/launch-home — not splash pages. Rotating-feature hero slot, product, packages, Enlighten footer. Domain TBD. Did not replace /signup.
- ●Site 1 classic long page. Site 2 split magazine. Site 3 form first then the rest of the site. Site 4 homepage inside the tool rail.
this ship
Four homepage layout mockups
Michael can open four actual page layouts at /samples/launch-home — center stack, split canvas, form first, and app rail. Same Lantern / Enlighten chrome. Each mock goes to /signup. Domain still TBD.
- ●Not copy cards. Browser-frame mockups of a future launch website.
- ●Air: space between Walk sample / Android and Floor drawing.
this ship
Four homepage directions for a future launch site
Michael can open four numbered homepage idea cards at /samples/launch-home. Same Enlighten + Lantern panel as Sign up. Each card goes to /signup. Domain still TBD — this is not the live homepage.
- ●1 Field map 2 Free seat 3 Two doors 4 Walk the plant (heat on Air, UPS off free).
- ●Shop /guide restamped: Air heatmap, UPS shop-only, sideload vs Play, Safari Home Screen. Password hashes untouched.

/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.
- ●Frozen public/lantern-og.png is untouched. Password hashes untouched.

Social card names the trades
Link previews say MSP / IT / Cabling / Electrician Professionals — not jack / port / cert / invoice. Lockup and Powered by Enlighten stay.
- ●public/lantern-og.png audience line and OG_IMAGE_ALT match the trades phrase.
- ●Description leads with who Lantern is for. Tests lock the phrase so the old jack line cannot sneak back.
this deploy
OG card capitalizes Professionals
Audience line is MSP / IT / Cabling / Electrician Professionals — capital P. OG card frozen after this.
- ●public/lantern-og.png, OG_IMAGE_ALT, and description use Professionals.
- ●Tests lock the capital P so lowercase cannot sneak back.
this deploy
Link previews show the Lantern card
SMS, iMessage, Facebook, and X unfurl a navy Lantern card — lockup, MSP / IT / Cabling / Electrician Professionals, Powered by Enlighten. Absolute https image, not a blank title.
- ●Root metadata now has metadataBase, Open Graph, and Twitter large-image tags. Pages inherit the card.
- ●1200×630 public/lantern-og.png is the real lockup on navy, served from nginx httpdocs. Not /_next/image.
this deploy
SMS card cache-bust for capital-P Professionals
og:image now points at /lantern-og-v2.png?v=professionals-cap-p (same frozen capital-P PNG). SMS/iMessage were still showing lowercase p from the old /lantern-og.png URL.
- ●Live PNG was already capital P; SMS clients cache the bare image URL aggressively.
- ●Meta + twitter image use the v2 twin. nginx httpdocs serves both lantern-og.png and lantern-og-v2.png under the freeze guard.
this deploy
SMS / OG card frozen so SUPERSET cannot overwrite it
public/lantern-og.png is frozen at sha256 8a14e0a0… (lockup + MSP / IT / Cabling / Electrician Professionals). Deploy and remote-release refuse a different file unless Michael unfreezes.
- ●deploy/lantern-og.sha256 + scripts/deploy-production.sh + deploy/remote-release.sh assert_og_freeze.
- ●Rule .cursor/rules/lantern-og-freeze.mdc. Launch board sms-og-card done. Generator refuses regenerate without LANTERN_OG_UNFREEZE=1.
this deploy
SMS / OG card restored after rail SUPERSET overwrite
Rail lockup deploy 54e13fc re-shipped the older lowercase professionals PNG over the capital-P card from d819f63. Restored current Lantern lockup + Professionals.
- ●public/lantern-og.png matches the capital-P Professionals card again (a0340ddc).
- ●Generator, OG_IMAGE_ALT, description, and tests lock Professionals so a later SUPERSET cannot quietly restore lowercase.
Waukesha
The log stays current. The deadline stays on Launch.
