Workstreams

Mission E — GCP deploy scaffolding

Shipped · May 27, 2026

Cloud Run + Cloud SQL connector, standalone Next build, Dockerfile + deploy scripts, DEPLOY.md runbook.

Droid-built, Claude-verified — including the highest-risk artifact (Dockerfile paths matched the real standalone output). Untestable locally without Docker; deferred to first Cloud Build.


After a Week-1 sprint that landed auth + pools + a calculator, the build re-scoped from “4-week multi-platform” to “web-only Free+Pro with Stripe webhook-authoritative billing.” Five focused missions followed; the monetization loop is now live end-to-end against real Stripe.

The working model: Claude as architect/reviewer, factory.ai droid as implementer, missions handed off via repo MISSION-*.md files. When the droid hangs (the non-TTY shell issue), Claude finishes the mission directly.
