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.

this ship
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.
this ship
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.
this ship
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.

Signed-in pages load faster; free seats stay a house map
After two days of new features, every signed-in click was re-running launch-board stamps and re-parsing lantern.json. That work now happens once when Node starts. Free testers with leftover shop flags see Ask to upgrade on Jobs/Billing, not a contractor ledger.
- ●Find, Floors, Air, and the rest of the panel skip the stamp list after boot. Public /changelog is still a large page.
- ●Free package caps Jobs, Billing, Docs, Team, Tests, and Electric even if the org row still has those flags. Harborline demo is unchanged. Password hashes untouched.
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.

Guide and board track floor plates still in progress
The shop guide walks the floor the way it should work: add a floor and the chip shows at the top, one clip per story, Make 2D follows that clip. Garage is the example that matched. First Floor and Second Floor plates are still being lined up with their clips. Free edition this week stays the goal.
- ●/guide: add the floor, film that story, Make 2D from that clip, architect PDF still wins, the clip stays, then place a device on that floor.
- ●Launch board keeps floor video in Doing until those plates match and Add floor updates without a reload. Free, Android, and iPhone Home Screen stay Doing until a tester opens the map from both icons.
this ship
Place a device on the floor you added
UniFi and the LAN scan still file devices into Computers, Phones, and Cameras. They no longer paint that pile onto Floor 1. You add the floor, then Place device: pick the type, pick a device already on this system, and the pin stays on that floor. New still types a blank one.
- ●Free guide on /guide says the same. Harborline demo pins stay on the sample plate.
- ●UPS backup monitoring is on the launch board only — not built. Password hashes untouched.
this ship
Tester seat keeps five floor plans
One free tester seat can store five floor clips (basement, first, second, garage, and one more). Other free seats stay at two. On the operator Cobus building, the Floor 1 chip is off Floors so Second Floor and Garage can be added. Jacks, closets, and the LAN scan stayed. Harborline sample PDFs stayed.
- ●Sign in on the tester seat to upload the next floors. Sign in as the operator and Add floor for Second Floor or Garage.
- ●Password hashes untouched.
this ship
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.
- ●Password hashes untouched. Did not touch Make 2D / floor plate.
this ship
iPhone Home Screen is Safari — not Chrome or Mail
Free iPhone install stays Safari Add to Home Screen. Confirm in Safari, then Share → Add to Home Screen from the signed-in map so the icon opens /. Chrome cannot add. If Mail opened the confirm link, Open in Safari first.
- ●/signup lists the Safari steps. Confirm mail and the confirm page say Open in Safari when Chrome or Mail opened the link.
- ●Android stays one Lantern.apk from /signup. Walk pairs after login cookies. Play Protect still. Not Play Store. Password hashes untouched.

Signup lists all six shop packages
Michael picked Option A: public /signup shows Free plus the five paid shop meters (Cable Pro recommended, Electric Pro, Electric + Cable Pro, MSP, Advanced). Billing stays off that page. Email Enlighten to switch. No Stripe.
- ●Six cards, live chrome — BrandLogo lockup, panel-card, Outfit ExtraBold, orange Sign up. Published prices from PACKAGES.
- ●Guide strip is still Free, Cable Pro, Electric Pro, Operator.
- ●Password hashes untouched.
this ship
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.
- ●Play Protect and pick Lantern stay. Stay in Safari / Then Share → Add to Home Screen stay. Heatmap walk is still Lantern.apk.
- ●Did not recut the Facebook reel. Password hashes untouched.
this ship
Free testers can Lens-drop on their own building
After confirm email, Lens opens House on the tester’s empty plant — Place device / Add device for cameras and PCs. Not Harborline, not Cobus, not Electric Pro breakers. Overlay ports wait until they type a closet. Floor clip on Floors is optional.
- ●featuresForMode free already had lens:true. The blocker was empty plant (no closet) so Lens had nothing to snap to.
- ●House drop point + snaps on the company plant. Floors Place device uses this plant’s cable IDs, not HL-2W-1414.
- ●Jobs, Billing, Team, SOP, UniFi pull, and house breakers stay Cable Pro / Electric Pro. Password hashes untouched. Did not rewrite Walk/heatmap/APK.
this ship
iPhone Home Screen keeps the confirm login
Confirm email in Safari first, then Add to Home Screen so the icon stays signed in. Chrome on iPhone cannot add. Heatmap Walk is the same Lantern.apk as /signup.
- ●/signup and the signed-in app hint iPhone testers: stay in Safari, confirm, then Share → Add to Home Screen.
- ●Walk waits for lantern_session cookies before pairing. Floors → Heatmap downloads Lantern.apk, not a second walk app.
- ●Did not recut the Facebook reel. Password hashes untouched.
this ship
Confirm-email link opens the Android app
The confirm mail can open Lantern.apk instead of only Chrome, so the session lands in the app Walk can pair. Same sideload signature on the next APK so testers overlay-install.
- ●https://lantern.enlightenstudios.us/signup/confirm is an Android app link. Pick Lantern if the phone asks.
- ●Walk flushes WebView cookies before pairing. iPhone still Safari Add to Home Screen.
- ●Did not recut the Facebook reel. Password hashes untouched.
this ship
Android Lantern.apk is the app now — site + Walk
Download Lantern.apk on /signup. It opens the live site (sign up, confirm email, Floors). Walk in the top bar reads Wi-Fi dBm. iPhone stays Safari Add to Home Screen. Free edition preview is not waiting on a paid shop check.
- ●Package us.enlightenstudios.lantern, launcher LanternActivity WebView. Walk pairs from the same login cookies.
- ●Free stripped card: preview tomorrow for bug checks — not after a shop check. House breaker still Electric Pro.
- ●Did not recut the Facebook reel. Password hashes untouched.
this ship
Free launch is /signup — confirm email, then you are in
lantern.enlightenstudios.us/signup is the free launch: packages, Android APK, iPhone Home Screen, and signup. Confirm the emailed link before the seat opens. Coming soon stays the Facebook reel kit. Promo waits until this URL is on the last slide.
- ●Signup creates a pending seat and emails a 24h confirm link. Opening it signs you in. Sign up again while pending resends the mail. Hidden-field bots get a fake success.
- ●Android: Download Lantern.apk with unknown-source / Play Protect steps. iPhone: Safari Add to Home Screen (no Wi-Fi dBm).
- ●/start and /free redirect here. /launch stays the deadline board. No Stripe. Promo not recut this ship.
this ship
Free-first Facebook reel is on /promote
The sample reel now leads with Free edition live — sign up at /start — then the paid shop tools. Andrew sounds more human. Slides use Outfit, not giant orange poster type.
- ●Public /promote plays the voiced MP4. Same FacebookReel on /coming-soon and /admin/promote.
- ●Storyboard: Free test launch, signup, Find, Floors (PDF + Path), Air/Switches (no UniFi on Free), Computers (5 max), Lens, Ask to upgrade, then Cable Pro $99+$35 and Electric Pro.
- ●edge-tts AndrewNeural +8% rate, +4Hz pitch, +12% volume. Did not restamp UniFi 8-port or heatmap. Frozen lockup and rail.
this ship
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.
- ●Package cards match /for-contractors: 11px kicker, 1rem ExtraBold names, 14px body. Guide /guide renders the live strip; packages-free.png is regenerated from that HTML.
- ●Lockup, footer, and password hashes untouched. No Stripe.
this ship
Free Computers has Download agent — 5 max
A free company admin can download the Lantern PC agent from Computers. Copy says Free edition — 5 computers max. Check-ins stay on that org. Shop LAN-scan stays off.
- ●canDownloadPcAgent is true for free org_admin. canDownloadScanAgent stays false. No ARP button on /computers.
- ●Inventory POST uses that org’s token — not Enlighten, Cobus, or Harborline. Cap of 5.
- ●Short lede. Did not dump SmartScreen/UAC on the free page. Guide packages-free.png and floors-path.png restamped in Outfit to match /start cards.
this ship
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.
- ●Public /start + /signup stay open. No Stripe. UniFi pull stays Cable Pro. Did not dump the brochure onto /launch.
this ship
Ask to upgrade — UniFi stay on Cable Pro
Free seats map their own building. Live UniFi/switch/AP pull is Cable Pro or MSP, not a cheap add-on, because that is the shop’s controller — wiring Enlighten’s keys would leak the house. Ask to upgrade emails Mike. Check or invoice later. No Stripe.
- ●Keep public /signup. Free plant is empty and isolated — not Harborline, Cobus, or operator lastPull.
- ●Account, Billing, Jobs, Switches, and Air have Ask to upgrade. Enlighten sees the list on /admin and /admin/health.
- ●alacarte-addons stays held. no-stripe stays. UniFi 8-port and heatmap notes were not restamped.
Waukesha
