_Reconciled 2026-07-27 against TASKS.md + MTL-MASTER-TASK-TRACKER.html. Items not mentioned in the 07-27 state are carried and tagged (carried β€” confirm still open) so nothing is silently dropped._

🟒 STORE STATUS - LIVE / PUBLIC (confirmed 2026-07-29)

memorythatlasts.com is fully launched, public, and meant to be discoverable - no storefront password, not pre-launch/gated (Kayla confirmed 2026-07-29). Etsy shop (62435306) likewise live. This is settled: do not treat the store as pre-launch or re-add a storefront password.

⏳ Awaiting Kayla β€” decisions / approvals (current 07-27)

1. Zodiac HOMEPAGE tile decision ("Daphne butter" = the cat-paw slider; using it would duplicate the Pet tile) β€” blocks the Shop All collage rebuild.

2. Approve the 3 regenerated birth-flower videos (July / Oct / Nov heart clips β€” gold holds, no flicker; on mtl-video-review.pages.dev).

3. Approve the homepage tile row (AM + daisy) live push.

4. Approve the zodiac collection preview (before the live filter switch).

5. _Optional / one-clicks:_ hit "Run now" on the Etsy retest scheduled task (etsy-rest-activation-retest) Β· consolidate the 2 duplicate Cloudinary accounts (dl7mguxyk operational vs dafx1ucr4 new).

### Pinterest, verified live in browser 2026-08-05 - NOT blocked, just IDLE

Working today with NO API token:

The actual gap is idleness, not access:

MY ERROR, needs Kayla's yes: I created a junk board on her live profile, zz-sandbox-isolation-test (0 pins, 2026-08-04). My earlier claim that sandbox writes were discarded was WRONG. Truth: sandbox writes land on the PRODUCTION account while sandbox reads return empty, which is what fooled me. Never run a write against the sandbox host again. DECISION: delete zz-sandbox-isolation-test? (y/n)

Standard access, real picture: form at /apps/1565734/upgrade/ requires a video demo (required field) showing how the app authenticates Pinterest users plus main features, mp4 under 2GB, plus app name, company name, website, privacy policy link, app purpose, use cases, audience. All text fields are answerable from what we have. The video is the only real blocker and it cannot be recorded until OAuth completes. Pinterest publishes no SLA, only "reviewed regularly", decision by email. Not urgent.

Token, for completeness: app shows Trial access active, redirect URI http://localhost:8085/callback registered, OAuth one approval away. The approval must happen in a Chrome on the Neo Mac (callback listens on localhost:8085 there; the connected browser is Indigo Computer). The token buys programmatic reads, reporting and pin analytics only.
