Restores the /api/link-customer endpoint that was lost in the stash. It
runs right before stripe.confirmPayment() and:
- searches Stripe for an existing Customer by email
- creates one if missing (URL-encodes + and @ so Gmail aliases work)
- attaches the Customer to the live PaymentIntent
- upserts the Supabase waitlist row with stripe_customer_id + plan
Stripe locks customer on a Charge once set, so the webhook handler is
the second-line backstop for any race where confirmPayment beats the
link call.
Also: change return_url from /marketplace/success to /account?welcome=1
so buyers land where they need to be, and switch /marketplace/success
and /account from str_eq to str_starts_with so Stripe-appended query
strings (?payment_intent=...&redirect_status=succeeded) don't 404.
The auth-first flow blocked Stripe Elements from initialising for any
visitor without an existing Supabase session. Users hit the checkout
page, saw "Sign in to continue", and could not get to a card field at
all. Restored the inline-JS path (HEAD before extraction broke it),
flipped payment-section visible by default, kept the sign-in panel
behind an explicit "Already have an account? Sign in" link.
Build pipeline: added supabase_get stub injection and -lssl/-lcrypto
linker flags (web_stubs.c uses EVP for the AES-256-GCM transport).
Without those the Docker build aborts at link time.
Hand-cuts the marketing surface from Next.js to a native El HTTP server.
The El landing reads the pre-rendered index.html (output of the existing
component pipeline at src/index.html) and serves it directly. ~150
lines of El at server.el; 130 KB binary; no Node, no build step at
serve-time, no runtime JS for the marketing pages.
What's here:
- server.el: dispatcher with /, /health, /api/founding-count, /assets/*,
/brand/*, 404 JSON for everything else. Routes go through fs_read
against LANDING_ROOT (default /srv/landing in the container, ./src
locally).
- Dockerfile: two-stage build for linux/amd64 (Cloud Run target).
Stage 1 — debian:bookworm-slim with build-essential + libcurl-dev,
compiles the binary against el_runtime.c. Stage 2 — slim runtime
image with libcurl4 + ca-certificates, drops the binary at
/usr/local/bin/landing, copies src/index.html and src/assets/ into
/srv/landing/. Uses -rdynamic so the runtime's dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT,
handler_name) can find handle_request inside the executable on
glibc — macOS exposes executable symbols by default, Linux does
not. Links -lcurl -lpthread -ldl -lm; the C feature-test macros
(_GNU_SOURCE) are now in el_runtime.c itself.
- build.sh: stages the foundation El runtime into ./runtime/, runs
elc to regenerate server.c, builds the docker image. --tag and
--push flags. Push targets us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/neuron-785695/
neuron-marketing/marketing for the Cloud Run flip (still manual).
- .gitignore: runtime/, /server.c, build/ — all build artifacts.
The path here was non-trivial. The original goal was to compile the
full 4325-line landing-combined.el end-to-end; that OOM'd at 8.7 GB
under the always-allocate-fresh el_list_append (the workaround for an
aliasing bug in cg_if_stmt). The runtime ARC scaffolding committed
earlier today got the compile down to 3.5 GB peak in 0.26s, but the
landing-combined still has pre-existing source bugs (http_serve(3001)
arity, neuron_origin bare expression statement) that block the build.
The structurally cleaner path was to render the HTML once, offline, and
serve the static output — which is what this server.el does. The
landing-combined.el can be revisited when those source bugs are fixed;
this server.el is the canonical production surface in the meantime.
Did not commit ./runtime/ (gitignored, staged from foundation by
build.sh on each build), ./server.c (generated by elc from server.el),
or ./build/ (build artifacts). The repo carries the source of truth
only.
- NEURON_ORIGIN env var drives all Stripe redirect URLs (no more localhost)
- Load founding count from persist file or live Stripe PaymentIntents search
- Write count to founding_sold.txt on startup and each webhook increment
- Regenerate index.html with real count before serving
- Startup order: Stripe config → count → HTML → serve
- Nav: responsive hamburger at ≤1060px, full mobile menu with close behaviors
- Nav: all section anchors are absolute (/#...) for correct cross-page routing
- Pillars: flex column cards with margin-top:auto on taglines — all three align
- About footer: image wordmark matches main page (was plain text "Neuron")
- Hero: "Six patents" → "Patented"; sub-copy trimmed to one clean sentence
- Environmental/efficiency/inference: remove all "memory graph" mentions, cite 40% token reduction
- Environmental: savings calculator (slider, live annual savings calculation)
- Nav: all section links are absolute (/#section) - fixes about page back-nav
- Nav: add Environment link
- Safety: "I built" not "we built"; crisis hotline announcement; crisis line coming
- Pillars: rename Learns -> Sharpens with opaque copy that doesn't reveal mechanism
- about, terms, enterprise_terms now all import and use shared nav()
- Any future nav change propagates everywhere automatically
- Remove Docs from nav (no docs yet)
- Safety: Hard Bell is for everyone, not just children - reframe copy,
update cards and bottom callout to reflect universal applicability
- checkout.el: Custom Stripe Payment Element page at /checkout?plan=...
- safety.el: Hard Bell and emergency routing architecture section
- main.el: Wire checkout + safety, /api/payment-intent, STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
- enterprise_terms.el: Add nav bar (was missing, page had no navigation)
- styles.el: Checkout buttons now link to integrated page, not hosted Stripe
- El runtime: Auto-detect HTML responses, serve text/html vs application/json
- footer.el: Wordmark image centered above "Built Different." tagline
- environmental.el: Replace SQLite with custom on-device storage
- enterprise.el: Replace SQLite with custom on-device storage
- pricing.el: Local models degraded performance note near Ollama feature
- about.el: "left home at fifteen", remove programming language mention
About: rewritten in memoir register — flowing connected sentences,
no staccato, no resignation mention, no employer mention.
Founding counter: polls /api/founding-count every 90s, updates DOM
in place with flash animation on new claims. Webhook now increments
the sold counter when a founding purchase completes.
Badge: founding_badge.el component with guilloché SVG background,
corner rosettes, member number, glow animation. Rendered on success page.
Pricing: "at cost" removed, parent onboarding callout added.
Chat messages are now proper left/right bubbles. Input bar lives inside
the chat window with a top border separator. On return visit, manifesto
goes left, chat center, values/waitlist right in a full-width grid.
