Vibecode Proofling

You are building a lean indie version of Proofling.

Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt.

===== README.md =====
# Proofling indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Proofling workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Accept a payment webhook, schedule one testimonial request and follow-up, collect consent, approve replies, and render them on a hosted wall and embed.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- polished onboarding and multi-tenant workspaces
- payment integrations beyond the single Stripe webhook
- managed email delivery, retries, scheduling, and suppression
- guided video capture, processing, captions, and retention controls
- long-lived consent history, proof exports, and referral workflows

If those capabilities are essential, use Proofling instead of pretending the gap is solved.

===== AGENTS.md =====
# Agent instructions

- Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build.
- Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief.
- Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims.
- Keep secrets out of source control and logs.
- Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths.
- Run the project checks before declaring the build complete.
- Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs".

===== BUILD_PLAN.md =====
# Build plan

## Original build brief

Build a self-hosted testimonial automation app inspired by Proofling.
Use Node.js 22, TypeScript, Fastify, better-sqlite3, server-rendered HTML, and vanilla CSS.
Keep it single-tenant and deployable as one small service on a VPS.

- Add an .env.example for ADMIN_PASSWORD, APP_URL, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, and RESEND_API_KEY.
- Create POST /webhooks/stripe and verify Stripe signatures before processing events.
- Idempotently store completed checkout customers and ignore duplicate webhook deliveries.
- Let the admin configure an ask delay, one optional follow-up delay, sender name, and message copy.
- Run a database-backed worker every minute; queued jobs must survive restarts and retry with backoff.
- Send email through Resend, with MAIL_MODE=log for local development without an API key.
- Give each customer an expiring signed /r/:token response link; never expose sequential database IDs.
- Collect name, role, company, optional 1-5 rating, testimonial text, avatar, and explicit publication consent.
- Resize avatars to 128px WebP, discard originals, and reject oversized or non-image uploads.
- Add a Basic Auth /admin page with pending, approved, private, and failed-delivery views.
- Allow approve, unpublish, delete, and resend; nothing public appears before approval and consent.
- Render a mobile-friendly /wall page with approved cards, dark mode, and honest buyer-context badges.
- Serve /embed.js so one script plus a div creates a sandboxed, auto-resizing wall on another site.
- Expose approved data at /proof.json and /proof.md without private contact details.
- Exclude multi-user accounts, billing, non-Stripe integrations, video, AI rewriting, and referrals.
- Add tests for signature verification, webhook idempotency, scheduling, consent gates, and public filtering.
- Include SQLite migrations, seed data, a Dockerfile, and a README covering setup, backups, and permissions.

## Required capabilities

- Node.js 22
- Stripe account and webhook signing secret
- Resend API key

## Delivery order

1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
4. Cover the critical path with automated tests.
5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.

## Done when

- A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README.
- The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it.
- Tests cover the highest-risk behavior.
- Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden.

You are building a production product version of Proofling.

Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt.

===== PRODUCT.md =====
# Proofling product brief

## Problem

A collection form, approval queue, wall, and embed are one-session work. The real Proofling loop adds payment-triggered asks, dependable email follow-ups, consent history, video processing, and integrations, which makes an honest replacement a weekend project with ongoing operational work.

## Product outcome

Accept a payment webhook, schedule one testimonial request and follow-up, collect consent, approve replies, and render them on a hosted wall and embed.

## Target user

A serious builder who needs a maintainable product foundation rather than a one-off demo.

## Required capabilities

- Node.js 22
- Stripe account and webhook signing secret
- Resend API key

## Explicit non-goals for v1

- polished onboarding and multi-tenant workspaces
- payment integrations beyond the single Stripe webhook
- managed email delivery, retries, scheduling, and suppression
- guided video capture, processing, captions, and retention controls
- long-lived consent history, proof exports, and referral workflows

## Success criteria

- The primary workflow is measurable end to end.
- Setup is reproducible in a clean environment.
- Failure, recovery, and support paths are documented.
- Product claims match what the implementation actually guarantees.

===== ARCHITECTURE.md =====
# Architecture

## Starting brief

Build a self-hosted testimonial automation app inspired by Proofling.
Use Node.js 22, TypeScript, Fastify, better-sqlite3, server-rendered HTML, and vanilla CSS.
Keep it single-tenant and deployable as one small service on a VPS.

- Add an .env.example for ADMIN_PASSWORD, APP_URL, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, and RESEND_API_KEY.
- Create POST /webhooks/stripe and verify Stripe signatures before processing events.
- Idempotently store completed checkout customers and ignore duplicate webhook deliveries.
- Let the admin configure an ask delay, one optional follow-up delay, sender name, and message copy.
- Run a database-backed worker every minute; queued jobs must survive restarts and retry with backoff.
- Send email through Resend, with MAIL_MODE=log for local development without an API key.
- Give each customer an expiring signed /r/:token response link; never expose sequential database IDs.
- Collect name, role, company, optional 1-5 rating, testimonial text, avatar, and explicit publication consent.
- Resize avatars to 128px WebP, discard originals, and reject oversized or non-image uploads.
- Add a Basic Auth /admin page with pending, approved, private, and failed-delivery views.
- Allow approve, unpublish, delete, and resend; nothing public appears before approval and consent.
- Render a mobile-friendly /wall page with approved cards, dark mode, and honest buyer-context badges.
- Serve /embed.js so one script plus a div creates a sandboxed, auto-resizing wall on another site.
- Expose approved data at /proof.json and /proof.md without private contact details.
- Exclude multi-user accounts, billing, non-Stripe integrations, video, AI rewriting, and referrals.
- Add tests for signature verification, webhook idempotency, scheduling, consent gates, and public filtering.
- Include SQLite migrations, seed data, a Dockerfile, and a README covering setup, backups, and permissions.

## Boundaries

Separate the product into replaceable modules for interface, application logic, persistence, external integrations, and operational concerns. Keep domain logic independent from delivery frameworks and vendors.

## Production baseline

- Configuration: validated at startup with safe local defaults where possible.
- Security: least privilege, input validation, secret redaction, rate limits on abuse-prone paths, and no invented security primitives.
- Data: explicit schema and migrations, transactional writes where integrity matters, backup and restore instructions.
- Integrations: adapters around third-party providers, idempotent webhook or job processing, bounded retries, and timeouts.
- Observability: structured logs with request or operation IDs, an error-tracking hook, and health/readiness checks where a server exists.
- Quality: unit tests for domain rules, integration tests at module boundaries, and one end-to-end critical-path test.

## Decision records

For each major dependency, document why it was chosen, its failure mode, and how it can be replaced. Do not introduce infrastructure until a requirement justifies it.

===== AGENTS.md =====
# Agent instructions

- Read `PRODUCT.md` and `ARCHITECTURE.md` before changing code.
- Implement milestone by milestone; keep each change reviewable and leave the application runnable.
- Treat authentication, payments, encryption, imports, webhooks, and destructive actions as high-risk boundaries when present.
- Never invent cryptography or silently weaken a requirement to make a test pass.
- Use provider interfaces for external services and deterministic fakes in tests.
- Add migrations and rollback or recovery notes for persistent data changes.
- Log useful operational context without credentials, tokens, passwords, or personal data.
- Update documentation and run all checks before completing a milestone.

===== MILESTONES.md =====
# Delivery milestones

## M0 — Decisions and scaffold

- Confirm the runtime, persistence model, threat boundaries, and deployment target.
- Create a reproducible local environment and continuous checks.

## M1 — Core workflow

- Implement the smallest end-to-end product path with validation and tests.
- Keep integrations behind interfaces.

## M2 — Trust layer

- Add secure failure behavior, recovery paths, audit-relevant events, and data safeguards.
- Test abuse cases and destructive operations.

## M3 — Operability

- Add structured logs, error reporting hooks, health signals, backup/restore documentation, and deployment configuration.

## M4 — Release gate

- Run a clean-install test, critical-path end-to-end test, dependency review, and documented rollback exercise.
- Compare the shipped behavior with `PRODUCT.md` and publish remaining limitations.

===== OPERATIONS.md =====
# Operations

## Before release

- Validate configuration and secrets at startup.
- Define backup, restore, and rollback procedures and test them.
- Document logs, error tracking, health signals, and alert ownership.
- Set dependency update and vulnerability review expectations.

## Incident checklist

1. Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data.
2. Record the timeline and affected scope.
3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials.
4. Restore from a verified source when needed.
5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test.

## Launch constraint

Do not market omitted Proofling capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.
