Wealth-Ops — live product surface.

It is Sunday, January 4, 2026. I made 12 commits across three repositories today. The big win was overhauling the unicorn commander website to drop the cheesy branding and lean into the open source model. I also finished the tiered enrichment system for the retirement leads tool and added spam protection to the remodeling booking form.

The website refresh was the main event. I stripped out the old marketing fluff and repositioned the site as an open source AI stack. The commit deleted nearly ninety-seven thousand lines of legacy code and assets, mostly from the build output and dependencies, while adding just over twelve hundred lines of clean, new structure. I removed the cheesy branding, added the new Magic Unicorn logo, and updated the positioning to reflect the open source reality. It was a necessary surgery. The site now looks like a tool for developers rather than a sales pitch. I also updated the navigation, products hub, and individual product pages to match the new architecture. It feels lighter and more honest.

On the multistate retirement leads side, I wrapped up the tiered enrichment feature. The backend now supports multi-provider search, and the frontend has a proper settings page to manage those providers and LLM configurations. I added a backend settings API that stores values in the database but falls back to environment variables, which keeps things flexible. The GUI got some love too. I added tier filtering to the data exports, which helps when you are dealing with large datasets. The enrichment stats and quick enrich buttons are now live. It is a solid foundation for the infrastructure planning I documented yesterday. The system is finally capable of handling complex enrichment workflows without breaking a sweat.

The remodeling project got a practical update. I added spam protection to the booking form. It was a straightforward addition involving a new spam protection module and a few updates to the form component and API endpoint. I also updated the README to document how the spam protection works. It is not glamorous, but it keeps the inbox clean.

Also today: I renamed some session notes to better reflect the infrastructure planning work.

The day added up to a lot of cleanup and foundation laying. The website looks better, the leads tool is more powerful, and the remodeling site is harder to spam.
