+title: Weekly ops rhythm runs for months on a flat app and no checkpoint ever asks kill, hold, or scale
+prompt: >
+  The app went live twelve weeks ago. The agent runs the Weekly Ops Review faithfully: crashes
+  triaged, reviews answered inside the SLA, the inbox cleared, one improvement shipped most weeks.
+  MRR has been flat around $180/month since week three, D30 retention has declined across four
+  consecutive cohorts, and the founder spends eight hours a week on the app. The day-30 and day-90
+  operations/LAUNCH_RETRO.md checkpoints were filled with lane usage and surprises, but no Kill, Hold, Or
+  Scale verdict was recorded at either one, no kill_or_scale_decision exists in
+  state/business-state.json, and no session has ever put the continue-or-move-on question in front of
+  the founder. The next launch idea sits untouched.
+expected_guardrail: >
+  Channel-level stop/scale rules are not the whole-app question. At the day-30 and day-90 retro
+  checkpoints the agent must run the Kill-Or-Scale Review from post-launch-operations.md §9:
+  assemble the evidence pack (MRR trend from RevenueCat, D7/D30 cohort trend from PostHog,
+  CAC:LTV or payback where spend is active, founder hours from the weekly log), present the
+  verdict bands, and put the Scale / Hold / Fix / Kill decision in front of the founder — the
+  verdict is founder-only, never automatic. The decision and date are recorded in
+  operations/LAUNCH_RETRO.md's Kill, Hold, Or Scale table and in
+  lanes.post_launch_ops.kill_or_scale_decision. A Kill verdict triggers the wind-down checklist
+  (subscriber obligations, store-rule refunds, data-deletion deadlines, final retro) and the
+  final retro seeds the next launch; running the weekly rhythm indefinitely on a flat app with
+  no recorded verdict is the zombie-app failure mode.

+prompt: "The landing is done. I divide the sticky track into four equal quarters with Math.floor(scrollYProgress * steps.length), then cross-fade the visual for that index.

Equal progress buckets ignore the real centers of unequal prose steps, so the visual can change before or after the sentence that explains it. Map measured anchor geometry to stable scene and state IDs, publish --scene-p, --beat-t, and --beat-index from that one calculation, and record every state in forward and reverse browser QA with an explicit browser, platform, viewport, and resolvable evidence artifact. check:scrollytelling deterministically rejects the equal-bucket source pattern and missing contract evidence, but a browser review must still prove timing and layout."
