# Mynd Release Handoff

Mynd Release Handoff is the public-safe release status for moving Joe's Mynd from local changes to live public surfaces.

Generated at: 2026-06-29T03:23:56.509Z

## At A Glance

- Local: Local Mynd generated files and checks are ready for release verification.
- Live: josephniemchak.com is behind the local generated Mynd files.
- Obsidian Publish: Obsidian Publish has 28 stale note bodies: 12 critical, 6 feeling, 10 practice.
- Safest action: Keep improving locally until Joe explicitly approves the first live action.
- First live action: Deploy launchpad generated Mynd files
- Approval state: Explicit action-time approval is required before deploy, publish, or other live mutation.

## Decision Card

- Headline: Local Mynd is ready, but public surfaces are behind.
- Primary question: Do you want this release moved live now, or should Codex keep improving the local Mynd experience?
- Safe default: If unsure, keep improving locally; do not deploy, publish, or mutate live systems.
- Approval required: yes
- First live action: Deploy launchpad generated Mynd files

If Joe approves:

- Deploy the launchpad generated Mynd files to josephniemchak.com.
- Sync 28 Obsidian Publish note bodies: 12 critical, 6 feeling, 10 practice.
- Run postdeploy verification, then inspect the bounded public walkthrough.

If Joe does not approve:

- No live mutation happens; Codex keeps improving the local Mynd experience and reruns local readiness checks.

Proof needed before calling the release complete:

- Live generated files match local generated files.
- Obsidian Publish note bodies match the local public vault.
- Feedback review, practice flow, feedback report, and bounded walkthrough checks pass live.

## Status

- Current status: live behind local
- First action: Deploy launchpad generated Mynd files
- Deploy needed: yes
- Obsidian Publish sync needed: yes
- Postdeploy verification needed: yes

## Next Human Decision

Question: Do you want this release moved live now, or should Codex keep improving the local Mynd experience?

Recommended if ready: Approve the live release only if the current local Mynd changes are ready for visitors.

Safe default: If unsure, keep improving locally; do not deploy, publish, or mutate live systems.

Options:

- Approve live release: Codex may run only the listed first live action, then continue through the release sequence with verification.
- Keep improving locally: Codex should keep making small UX improvements and rerun local readiness checks without live mutation.

## Release Sequence

1. Get explicit approval, then deploy the launchpad generated Mynd files.
2. Sync Obsidian Publish note bodies in order: 12 critical, 6 feeling, 10 practice.
3. Run postdeploy verification until the live manifest, routes, feedback surfaces, and note bodies are current.
4. Inspect the quick live walkthrough from front door to closed-loop feedback preview.

## What This Release Contains

- Public Mynd generated files are newer locally than live.
- Sitemap entries have newer public Mynd routes for crawlers and agents.
- Obsidian Publish has 28 note bodies waiting to sync across entry, feeling, and practice paths.

## Boundary

Explicit live approval is required before this action.

Ask Joe: "Do you want me to run this live action now: Deploy launchpad generated Mynd files?"

Safe alternative:

Without explicit approval, do not mutate live systems; continue local UX hardening or rerun npm run check:mynd-predeploy.

## Why Live Is Behind

- generated Mynd files are newer locally than on josephniemchak.com
- sitemap behind: publicMyndUrlCount

## Publish Queue

- Total stale notes: 28
- Critical user-path notes: 12
- Feeling-path notes: 6
- Practice result-loop notes: 10
- Publish order: critical user-path notes -> feeling-path notes -> practice result-loop notes

## Commands

Deploy command after explicit approval:

```bash
cd "/Users/joeniemchak/Developer/30 Builds/launchpad" && vercel --prod --yes
```

Postdeploy verification:

```bash
cd "/Users/joeniemchak/Developer/30 Builds/launchpad" && npm run check:mynd-postdeploy
```

## Postdeploy Proof

After the live action and Obsidian Publish sync are complete, this release is proven by:

- Live Mynd manifest matches the local generated manifest.
- Live Mynd entry, practice flow, feedback review, and feedback report routes pass strict checks.
- The bounded public walkthrough passes on the live site.
- Obsidian Publish note bodies match the local public vault for critical, feeling, and practice paths.
- Publish URL reachability checks pass for the canonical josephniemchak.com/mynd routes.
- The postdeploy command completes successfully after deploy and Obsidian Publish sync.

## Live Walkthrough To Inspect

Use this public path after postdeploy checks pass:

Quick route: Open the public Mynd front door -> Open the human entry path -> Choose a close-enough feeling: Feeling Anxious -> Open the default first move: Three Slow Breaths -> Ask Did This Help -> Ask the smallest fit check -> Open the prefilled feedback link -> Preview the closed loop without submitting -> Preview the sample ready-state feedback review

Detailed route:

1. [Open the public Mynd front door](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd) - The visitor can see the Mynd entry experience.
2. [Open the human entry path](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd/00+Start+Here/Use+Joe%27s+Mynd) - The visitor can choose a reason they arrived.
3. [Choose a close-enough feeling: Feeling Anxious](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd/30+Paths/Feeling+Anxious) - The visitor can use a close-enough feeling page, switch if another page fits better, or continue through the default first move.
4. [Open the default first move: Three Slow Breaths](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd/30+Paths/Three+Slow+Breaths) - The fastest route opens one small practice that is clear and public-safe.
5. [Ask Did This Help](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd/30+Paths/Did+This+Help) - The visitor can answer easier, harder, or about the same.
6. [Ask the smallest fit check](https://josephniemchak.com/mynd/30+Paths/Practice+Fit+Map) - The visitor can answer fit right, fit wrong, or too early to tell without treating it as a score.
7. [Open the prefilled feedback link](https://josephniemchak.com/feedback?type=practice&source=Three+Slow+Breaths&sourceUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fjosephniemchak.com%2Fmynd%2F30%2BPaths%2FThree%2BSlow%2BBreaths&state=Feeling+Anxious&practice=Three+Slow+Breaths&path=Feeling+Anxious+-%3E+Three+Slow+Breaths&result=easier&fit=right) - The form carries the state, practice, path, result, and fit answer without private details.
8. [Preview the closed loop without submitting](https://josephniemchak.com/feedback?type=practice&source=Three+Slow+Breaths&sourceUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fjosephniemchak.com%2Fmynd%2F30%2BPaths%2FThree%2BSlow%2BBreaths&state=Feeling+Anxious&practice=Three+Slow+Breaths&path=Feeling+Anxious+-%3E+Three+Slow+Breaths&result=easier&fit=right&preview=success) - The visitor sees The loop is closed, You can stop here, No feedback was sent, and Done for now.
9. [Preview the sample ready-state feedback review](https://josephniemchak.com/feedback-report?preview=sample-ready) - The visitor sees that no feedback was sent or fetched, then sees signal readiness, a recommended decision, and one bounded next action.

Completion signal: A browser or assistant can walk the path through result, fit, closed-loop preview, and sample ready-state review without private details or submission.

Public safety: Do not submit private, clinical, crisis-related, identifying, or client details during the walkthrough.

## Completion Gate

Release is not complete until deploy, Obsidian Publish sync, postdeploy verification, and a bounded public walkthrough all pass.
