  • •/for/freelancers and /for/agencies audience-specific landing pages.
  • •/changelog and /about for transparency + brand trust.

Broad UX/UI audit + automated merge gates against future regressions.

Improved

  • •Custom ESLint rule blocks paid-API imports without checkApiCostGuard.
  • •Silent-failure CI check baseline at 399 empty catches; new ones rejected.

  • •Cost guards added to /api/email/generate and /api/follow-up/generate.

Niche scanner polish

Niche scanner + search pages got a focused UX pass.

Added

  • •Compact niche-picker dropdown replacing 300+ inline chips.

Fixed
