Build queue
Living queue — shipped baseline, active track, next bets.
Single queue. Detail specs live in specs/ (active) or archive/specs/ (done/superseded). Implementation plans: plans/.
Formula: layout × style × content = site — see master spec.
Launch gate framing is retired (2026-06-15). The publish loop, builder, /styles, skins DS, pricing page + SKUs all shipped — see §Shipped baseline. Commercial sequencing still lives in the pricing spec ([2026-06-13-launch-pricing-studio-sequencing-design.md](../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-13-launch-pricing-studio-sequencing-design.md)); product IA in the master spec ([2026-06-13-launch-platform-master-spec.md](../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-13-launch-platform-master-spec.md)). Templates / Recipes / Studio are future tracks (§Post-gate, §Backlog), not blockers.

Zone: app-surface — contract docs/zones/app-surface.md · skill app-surface-zone (auto-loads on src/components/builder/**, src/app/(app)/**).

Shipped — Component Registry + Widget Library
Spec: [2026-06-15-component-registry-styles-widget-library.md](../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-15-component-registry-styles-widget-library.md)
Phase 1 plan: [2026-06-15-component-registry-phase1.md](../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-15-component-registry-phase1.md)
One registry of site components/widgets (built from atoms), surfaced as a bento mosaic that is also the context-aware insert picker (one library, two contexts: /styles browse-all + builder context-filtered via layoutInsertRules).
Design north star — "widget tetris": a packed bento mosaic where each widget claims a footprint (aspect + span) sized to its own shape — media is aspect-driven; nothing crammed into a too-small tile or marooned in a too-big one. shadcn create-page feel. Greenfield — zero reuse of the orphaned SiteSectionRegistryBrowser (dead stacked rows) or the live-but-weak CatalogueDashboardCanvas (col-span-full chunking + mono debug badges). Both replaced. Scope (core + 5 domain packs: local-service · creator · tech · blog · ecom, ~50 widgets) locked in spec §4. Wireframe locked (session artifact).
Plan: [2026-06-15-component-registry-phase2-bento.md](../../docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-15-component-registry-phase2-bento.md) covers P2a–P2e.

| P3 — context filter (builder) | bento = insert picker via layoutInsertRules | Done — InsertLibrary → WidgetGallery + insertLibraryContext (#branch fix/tsconfig-templates-exclude) |
| P4 — 8starlabs wraps | timeline · flip-clock→countdown · marquee→logo cloud · status · system-banner→announcement · heatmap · partition-bar | Done — branch feat/p4-8starlabs-site-sections (0551856–88931e0); merge pending |
| P5 — new interactive widgets | video, gallery, music, product detail, variant, add-to-cart, reviews, ToC, reading progress + atom recipes | Done — feat/p5-interactive-widgets (15 widgets); open PR after #245 merges |
| P6a — user-saved components | save section subtree → RTDB → "My components" bucket in WidgetGallery + re-insert | Done — #248 |
| P6b — per-level overrides + inspector | override propagation, DS inspector panel | Done — PR #256 / #258 |

Sequence: skins DS → launch gate → Particle prod QA + client delivery → Templates/Recipes surfacing.
Next track — DS library that converts (planning done 2026-06-03)
The forward bet: a design-system library where each skin changes the entire
look yet applies to any layout, with curated layout × skin pairings that
convert per archetype (service/local lead-gen first). Reconciles the layout
/ skin / template dovetail. Audit verified; engine plans still unstarted in code.

Ownership (2026-06-13): Scott — Phase 1 QA on builder + styles + layouts. Agent — test hygiene, Particle prod dogfood, doc/spec sync.
Post-gate — Phase 2 (dynamics + prompt lite)
Not launch. Opens after Phase 1 exit. Master + pricing specs align on scope.
| Work | Spec | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Templates surfacing | master §Phase 2 | Flip TEMPLATES_SURFACED; manifest QA green |
| Recipes / recommend strip | master §Phase 2 | Flip RECOMMEND_* when taxonomy stable |
/start prompt seed | pricing §Phase 2 | One prompt → layout + style + copy in existing editor; 1–5 AI enhanced credits |
| Pricing copy | pricing §Phase 2 | “Describe your site at start” — no new SKU |
Code today: RECOMMEND_SURFACED / RECOMMEND_START_STRIP still true — tighten before or at gate per master §Drift.
Sequence: Phase 1 gate → Phase 2 dynamics → client delivery at scale → Phase 3 Studio (below).

Shipped baseline (done — do not re-implement)
The launch gate: first-time user claims slug → edits in dashboard → publish → {slug}.nertia.ai matches preview. No AI required. Met.
| Area | What shipped |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 cake | Full publish payload, owner PATCH + 403 test, image/file/list fields, publish roundtrip Vitest |
| Builder | dnd, viewport, duplicate, hide, export/import, skin customize → /skins; /builder/[slug] redirects to dashboard editor |
| App shell | (app) route group, compositions/skins nav, /community → /compositions, directory + listingEnabled |
| Custom domains | BYOD checkout, resolve, middleware (7682c4f) |
| Tier 2 UX | Sections |
| Skins library | /skins CRUD + export, import wizard on /skins/new, POST /api/ds-extract, builder merge |
| SEO | resolveSeo pipeline, dashboard preview, auto-metadata from copy+ds+status |
| Feedback Loop v1 | Chat, Stripe checkout + Customer Portal, undo, RTDB history, rate limit 10/min, upgrade banner (streaming deferred) |
| Analytics | analyticsStore, /api/analytics/hit, hosted beacon, Overview chart |
| Social | OAuth routes + Settings UI + hourly cron; prod provider apps still need live-feed QA |

Archive
Superseded / shipped specs live in archive/specs/. Do not implement from these unless explicitly reviving. The visual-directions library (slot model) at archive/specs/2026-04-16-zero-point-generator-design.md §Visual Direction is still referenced by skills/build-direction/SKILL.md.
Session bootstrap
Say **sup** to boot (same as /init-nert or nertia architect).
- Read
CLAUDE.md - Read
**content/docs/build.md**— current work is the active track - Read
**docs/superpowers/handoffs/LATEST.md** — if present, last session close (see Playbook — Continue session) - Open the linked detail spec only for the piece you're touching
init-nert / **sup** uses this file as the work queue — not git. When a phase ships, update the phase table here + LATEST.md before calling done (architect §Phase ship sync).
