## Verdict: PM_NO_GO

当前生产站可以作为 provider-pending preview 被浏览，但不能进入 final QA / launch 放行链路。

原因很直接：PRD 锁定的 P0 competitive minimum 是「upload image → choose/build prompt → server-side generate → preview/download」，而生产站目前只有视觉上的编辑器壳和 SEO 内容。真实生成被 `PROVIDER_NOT_CONFIGURED` 阻断，页面没有可检测的 file input，核心 CTA/部分导航按钮没有有效动作，付费也明确 disabled。

## Upstream gate interpretation

### SEO

Latest available recheck is `07r4-seo-recheck.md`, verdict `SEO_GO`:

- 11 routes checked.
- Missing image alt total: 0.
- Five core SEO pages have 1089–1487 words.
- Required JSON-LD types are present.
- Sitemap contains audited routes.
- `/prompts/seo-recheck-thin-slug` returns 404 and no `/prompts` URLs are in sitemap.

This clears the earlier SEO_NO_GO from `07r2`, but SEO_GO does not override product usability failure.

### Compliance

`07b2-compliance-recheck.md` is `COMPLIANCE_GO_FOR_PM_GATE` only under this explicit scope:

- provider-pending preview;
- paid-disabled;
- not full AI generation launch;
- not paid launch.

PM accepts that compliance scope as truthful preview copy, but does not accept it as product launch readiness.

## Competitive minimum review

PRD competitive minimum required:

1. Upload JPG/PNG/WebP and validate size/MIME.
2. Prompt textarea and template selector above fold.
3. Generate image endpoint through server/Worker.
4. Result preview + download.
5. At least 20 safe prompt templates.
6. Prompt builder with action/target/look/keep-same/negative constraints.
7. Before/after examples using owned/generated assets.
8. Free credit count and limit reached state.
9. Unsafe prompt blocked state.
10. Legal/policy footer and disclaimers.

Production status:

| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Above-fold editor shell | pass | Browser/vision shows upload-looking panel, prompt textarea, style prompt cards, preview banner. |
| Prompt textarea | pass | Editable textarea detected with prompt placeholder/content. |
| 20 structured templates | pass | `/api/prompt-templates` returned 20 templates with category, prompt, negative_prompt, preserves, safety_note. |
| Free quota state | pass | `/api/credits` returned `daily_limit=2`, `remaining=2`, `paid_enabled=false`. |
| Unsafe prompt block | pass | unsafe generation request returned 400 `UNSAFE_PROMPT_BLOCKED`. |
| Legal/policy footer | pass for preview | Legal/contact routes return 200; support email visible. |
| Real image upload | fail | Browser DOM inspection found no `input[type=file]`; upload area is visual only. |
| Server-side generation | fail | safe prompt request returned 503 `PROVIDER_NOT_CONFIGURED`. |
| Result preview/download | fail | No generated result state can be reached. |
| CTA/navigation action quality | fail | key buttons/links are inert or homepage fallbacks. |

Competitive minimum verdict: fail.

## Real user task checks

### Task 1 — “I want to edit a photo with a prompt.”

Result: fail.

- User can see the editor and edit a prompt.
- User cannot select/upload a real file through a detected file input.
- Generate is provider-pending and does not produce result.

### Task 2 — “I want to pick a reusable prompt template.”

Result: partial pass.

- Prompt cards and 20 templates exist.
- `/prompt-library` is reachable and indexable.
- But homepage `View Library`/`VIEW_ALL_LIBRARY` interaction did not navigate in browser click test; header Library link works.

### Task 3 — “I want to know limits/pricing before trying.”

Result: pass for preview-only.

- Pricing page exists.
- Public banner and API state clearly say paid checkout/subscriptions/credit purchases are not enabled.
- No unlimited claim found in upstream compliance/SEO checks.

### Task 4 — “I want unsafe/deceptive edits blocked.”

Result: pass.

- Unsafe API request returned `UNSAFE_PROMPT_BLOCKED` before provider call.
- Safety/legal copy is visible.

### Task 5 — “I want to download the edited result.”

Result: fail.

- No provider output can be produced.
- No result/download URL can be verified.

## Design/product fit

Visual direction is acceptable: dark industrial creator console, prompt cards, visible editor above fold, safety/compliance blocks, route-level SEO copy. It avoids generic SaaS landing shape.

But product fit fails because the UI behaves like a screenshot/prototype in critical places:

- upload control is not a real upload control;
- provider-pending CTA is not a typed UI error/result state;
- several buttons/links are dead or fallback links;
- full product claims must remain constrained to preview-only until provider is wired.

## Scope guard

This task must not silently downgrade the PRD into a static SEO/preview site. The PRD explicitly rejected static-only and required a real image editing flow. Current production is honest enough not to overclaim, but it is not the product that was approved for launch.

## Required repair before Final QA

P0 repair owners:

1. 墨界 / frontend:
   - implement real file input/upload affordance;
   - wire homepage and `/ai-photo-prompt-editor` CTAs to real states;
   - make provider-pending click show a clear typed preview error state;
   - fix inert/fallback links (`Templates`, `VIEW_ALL_LIBRARY`, `Dashboard`, `API Docs`, `Compliance`, `Security`) or remove them from public UI;
   - ensure mobile upload/prompt flow is usable.

2. 墨枢 / backend-infra:
   - either configure a real provider and complete `/api/generate-image` success path, or formally keep the site as no-launch preview with no external/public launch;
   - if provider is configured, provide provider name/model/API endpoint, retention/training terms, and source/deploy evidence;
   - keep unsafe prompts blocked before provider call;
   - do not consume credits on provider failure;
   - do not enable paid checkout until Stripe/tax gate passes.

3. 墨盾 / compliance after provider:
   - recheck Privacy/Terms/provider-retention wording after provider selection;
   - recheck payment/tax if paid checkout is enabled.

4. 墨测 / QA:
   - do not treat this PM gate as QA-ready for launch;
   - only run final QA after repair tasks close, or run a precheck explicitly labeled `QA_PRECHECK_ONLY`.

## Next gate

`repair_before_motest_qa`.

Do not unlock launch from this artifact. If the team chooses to ship a preview-only parked SEO site anyway, it needs explicit owner approval and launch metadata must say `preview_only=true`, `provider_configured=false`, `paid_enabled=false`, and `no_external_listing_claiming_real_generation=true`.
