Content queue

• No draft is scheduled in this window.

Funnel review

• Count applications, qualified operators, successful installs, weekly-active operators, and approved case studies.
• Reply to opted-in applicants within two working days.
• Convert repeated support friction into a documented fix or scoped contributor issue.
• Compare visitors → demo starts → successful installs; do not optimize stars in isolation.
