Launch Reports — Hub & Archive

One home for the launch plan. Bookmark this page (or either live report) — the live links always show the latest, and past versions are one click away in the archive at the bottom.

Reports last updated Aug 26, 2026 at 1:31 PM CDT

Always current — bookmark these

These links never change. Each republish updates them in place, so a bookmark is always up to date.

Run the tooling

Two jobs keep the sandbox and this report honest. Neither runs from this page — these copy the command for you to paste into the right terminal.

Sync the sandbox

Lightsail browser SSH · wevise-sandbox (54.214.69.158)

under 1 min

Pulls the current WordPress drafts from production into the sandbox and rebuilds the Elementor CSS. Copies page bodies only — not the footer template, the menu, or the Elementor kit, so the sandbox shell stays behind production by design.

Run the accessibility audit

PowerShell on your machine · .claude\.audits

~15 min

Crawls 21 templates across 3 browsers and 8 viewports, then runs Lighthouse on each. Measured at 14 min 47 s on the Aug 26 run; Lighthouse is the last three minutes and looks stalled while it works. Sync first — otherwise it measures yesterday’s content.

The bar shows time elapsed against a typical run, not real progress. Nothing on this page can see the job — it is a static site with no connection to either machine. A job that finishes early or hangs will not change the bar; read the terminal for truth.

How it works: the "Live" links above are the ones to bookmark and share — they always reflect the newest version. Whenever the plan changes, the update lands on those same URLs; every past version is kept in the project's version history, and the archive below preserves the early snapshots. Nobody needs a new link.

📁 Past reports (archive)

Frozen dated snapshots from before the reports moved into version control (Aug 20), newest first — each carries an "archived" banner so it's never mistaken for the live version. Since Aug 20, every published version is preserved in the project's git history instead.
