Wealth-Ops — live product surface.

Tuesday wrapped up with a mix of starting and polishing. Three fresh codebases landed and the remodeling site got its long-overdue polish.

The leads side got its biggest lift. I kicked off the CA Retirement Plan Leads Generator from scratch, a backend project scaffolded out across 91 files with 468,305 lines added in a single initial commit. The structure covers the Docker setup, config, database layer, models, and routers for businesses and companies. The same initial commit hash showed up mirrored in multistate-retirement-leads, which I'll sort out when I verify whether the fork needs to diverge or if it's a duplicate reference. On top of that, the Retirement Mandate Leads Dashboard got its own initial commit, a React frontend with Vite, a US map component, theme switching, and 25 files totaling 8,633 lines. Three new projects in one day and I can already hear the future me wondering which one was the plan.

The lavorare remodeling site got the attention it needed. The booking flow had a real OAuth2 issue with email and timezone handling, so I fixed the calendar, email, booking, and contact handlers, 69 additions and 32 deletions across four files. Categories, logos, mobile layout, and a zoomed-in Kyle photo in the hero all got touched in a separate pass. Then I wrote a proper README for the project and added the Magic Unicorn footer credit, cleaning up the page at the same time.

That's the arc of the day. New infrastructure where it was missing, bugs that were actually blocking, and the boring-but-necessary stuff that makes a project look like it belongs in the world.

Also today: three initial commits across four repos and the satisfaction of not leaving things half-built.

The day added up to building what's needed and cleaning up what was visible.
