….17 nudge (T1)

The post-veto nudge and README both link gate.cat/teams.html and
gate.cat/partners.html; neither page existed. Adds both as standalone,
no-JS pages in the index.html palette. Every number uses the allowed
wording from FACTS.md (F1b/F2/F3) or PRICING.md; policy sharing is
described as 'rolling out' rather than a dated promise (see T10).
Also: sitemap entries and ops/deploy_landing.sh (rsync without --delete,
sha256 verify, live 200 check, gatecat-fulfill restart) for the owner's
deploy step. Loop state updated in docs/AUTOPILOT-LOOP.md.

Rebuilds the launch-kit Show HN section against FACTS.md: separates the
1M-replay result (F1b, 0 real misses) from the bypass-suite false-block
(F4, 1/129 benign), fixes 69->71 policies (F10) and EUR 9 -> EUR 19,
scopes 'zero dependencies' to the core (pyproject dependencies = []).
Adds an author first-comment with the business model and a conditional
lobste.rs variant. Loop state updated.

…der install (T5)

pyproject [project.urls]: Homepage now points at https://gate.cat (was the
0-star GitHub repo) and adds a Pricing link to teams.html. README gains a
4-line free-forever/pricing block right under the install section — PyPI
renders README, so the listing finally states the offer. Fixes the stale
'21 deny policies' in the proxy section to the measured 71 default walls
(F10; verified by importing DOGFOOD_DEFAULTS). Landing's EUR 9 founding
price verified as deliberate (guarded by test_marketing_consistency) and
left untouched. Tests: test_marketing_consistency 5 passed.

…eyless-cloud pointer (T6)

Extends the 0.4.17 post-veto nudge instead of reimplementing it:
maybe_nudge_cli() fires on gate.cat status/stats at most once per day
(~/.gatecat/nudge_last), only when interventions > 0 and no
GATECAT_CLOUD_API_KEY, stderr-only, best-effort, honoring
GATECAT_NO_NUDGE/GATECAT_QUIET. A process-wide guard (mark_fired)
guarantees at most one nudge of any kind per run — the pack hint (T7)
will consult the same guard. gate.cat report gains an off-machine-copy
footer link (ASCII-safe, paste-safety test kept green) and gate.cat
cloud without a key now says where to get one. 9 new tests; 49 passed
across the touched suites.

…of-band

The live pages at gate.cat/teams.html and /partners.html (deployed
directly to the VPS by the owner's local session) are richer than the
versions this branch added — OG/twitter cards, dark mode, pricing cards
— and were not committed anywhere. Production wins: this replaces the
branch's versions with exact live copies so the repo matches what is
deployed and a future deploy cannot silently overwrite the live funnel.
Numeric claims on both pages verified against FACTS.md/PRICING.md rows.

…elease prep (T7)

gatecat/_pack_hint.py: shutil.which() detection (stripe -> Fintech;
vercel/netlify/fly/heroku/railway/render/supabase -> PaaS), scope quoted
from PRICING.md, once per machine via ~/.gatecat/.pack_nudged, stderr,
best-effort, GATECAT_NO_NUDGE/GATECAT_QUIET honored, and the shared
per-process guard from _nudge.py so no run ever prints two hints.
Wired after the CLI nudge on gate.cat status/stats. 7 new tests.

Release prep: version 0.4.18, CHANGELOG entry (T5+T6+T7), owner-facing
publication checklist in ops/launch/release_0.4.18_checklist.md.

…ist PRs, fact-checked (user-approved)

Replaces the stale launch-kit variants (EUR 9, 69 policies, replay/false-
block conflation) with FACTS.md-pinned copy for r/ClaudeAI, r/LocalLLaMA,
r/Python, an 8-tweet X thread and four awesome-list PR descriptions, plus
an anti-spam posting schedule. Owner approved full distribution; HN repost
cleared (old 2026-07-15 post got 2 points). Verified on PyPI: 0.4.18 not
yet published (latest 0.4.17) — release still gated on the checklist.

…s discovery-only delta)

gate.cat report already renders the paid-shape monthly report locally
(render_report) and gained its off-machine CTA footer in T6; the only
missing piece of T8 was discovery. The daily CLI hint now names the
command. Tests updated; 35 green across nudge/pack/dashboard suites.

…you page (T9)

The pack download page now offers the two packs NOT just purchased
(scopes quoted from PRICING.md, live Payment Links) plus the Cloud Solo
line. Attribution done properly: client_reference_id=pack-xsell on the
Stripe links (surfaces on the Checkout Session; a bare ?source= query
would be dropped by Payment Links and measure nothing) and
?source=pack-xsell on the teams.html link for nginx analytics. No Stripe
product changes. Two new tests; suite green. Goes live with the next
gatecat-fulfill restart on the VPS.

…ses softened; sync live /answers/ pages (T10)

payment_channel() default flips lemonsqueezy -> stripe, REVERSING the
2026-07-12 founder decision, because Lemon Squeezy declined the account
application on 2026-07-14 — Stripe is the only live channel (merge of
this PR is the sign-off; the LS webhook path stays reachable behind the
env override, tests updated both ways). PRICING.md drops the stale
'LS review is pending' line and softens the dated '(ships this month)'
policy-sharing promise to '(rolling out)', matching the live teams page.
Discovery: the /answers/ pages the sitemap references are LIVE in
production (deployed out-of-band), not dead — synced all 5 into
docs/answers/ instead of deleting the sitemap entries. 23 tests green.
