The headline for Friday is not about what I built, but what I deleted. The Geeses and Atlas systems are gone. I spent the day ripping them out of ops-center and uc-cloud, clearing the board so The Colonel can take the stage. It is a relief to stop maintaining legacy ghosts.
In ops-center, the removal was surgical but heavy. I deleted twenty-two files related to the old architecture, including the detailed documentation and agent specs that no longer apply. The diff shows a net loss of 7,277 lines. That is a lot of noise removed. I also updated the roadmap to reflect this shift, pointing the team toward The Colonel instead. Alongside that cleanup, I fixed a few nagging issues. I added partner tiers to the API and corrected the column names in the org_access module. Small fixes, but they keep the surface clean.
The uc-cloud repo got the same treatment. I removed twenty files associated with Geeses and Atlas, dropping another 7,505 lines from the codebase. This was necessary housekeeping. The submodules were synced, and I added the planning documents for The Colonel to the CLAUDE.md file. I also created the implementation plan and GUI specification for the new system. These are the blueprints for the next phase. The old tools are archived; the new tools are planned.

Meanwhile, in the multistate-retirement-leads repo, the work was entirely forward-looking. I added a trial and invitation system, which required changes across 44 files. This is a significant feature, touching the backend routers for users, auth, contacts, invitations, and settings. The frontend context for authentication was updated to handle the new token flow. I also made the SSO token URL configurable from the backend, which gives us more flexibility in deployment. The logo was uploaded to the root directory, just to keep things tidy.
The invitation system is the key here. It allows us to onboard users smoothly without manual intervention. The domain discovery feature helps us segment users based on their organization. The UI improvements round out the experience, making the trial period feel professional and polished. This is the kind of work that pays off in reduced support tickets and happier users.
I also took a moment to update the known issues file and adjust the environment variables for production. These are the quiet details that keep the system stable.
So, the day broke down into two main arcs. First, the cleanup. I removed the old Geeses and Atlas systems from ops-center and uc-cloud, deleting thousands of lines of code and documentation. This was a necessary step to clear the path for The Colonel. Second, the new feature. I built out the trial and invitation system in the retirement leads app, making the onboarding process seamless and scalable.
Also today: I fixed some column names and added partner tiers to the API. Minor tweaks, but they matter.
The day ended with a clean slate. The old systems are gone. The new plans are in place. The invitation system is ready for testing. It is a good feeling to move forward without the weight of the past. The Colonel is coming, and the deck is clear.
