Hosted page: plans, pricing, and the founding ladder - #996
Conversation
Design-stage spec under a hosted-launch scope: the tiers and founding ladder, what the Individual plan grants, the licence the clients verify, the managed-voice boundary, and the /hosted page contract. Indexed in AGENTS.md with a word budget. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Qu9YLVgpJyz63KKtzJMedL
/hosted stops being a launch teaser and becomes the page that sells the one paid service: the tier table, what the Individual plan grants today and later, self-hosting stays free, and a five-question FAQ. /pricing 301-redirects to it rather than becoming a second page with its own, staler numbers. Checkout is stage 2, so a buy button opens a notice that says so — it names the tier, says nothing was charged and no seat taken, and carries the devlog form that used to be a page section of its own. The page repeats above the table that checkout is not open, and the JSON-LD offers are PreOrder, so nothing here claims you can buy today. hosted-pricing.ts is the one owner of every price on the site; the page, the structured data, and the tests read it rather than restating a number. Seat counts come from a server endpoint that is not deployed yet, and every failure renders the table without counts — which is the same path an outage takes. Promotes "The Hosted page" above the fold in the pricing spec, splitting the published ladder from the commerce rules that still need checkout, and pins the redirect with checkPricingRedirect.

A table asked a buyer to read across three columns to compare three plans. The cards read the way a pricing page is read: cheapest commitment on the left, largest on the right, side by side from `md` up and stacked in that same order on a phone. The recommended tier is the middle one, marked by the accent border and the badge rather than a surface of its own — that would be a tint no docs token is derived against. Card-internal alignment is deliberate. Empty reserves keep the three names, blurbs and seat lines on shared baselines, but only while the cards are a row; stacked, a reserve is just a gap. `mt-auto` lines the buttons up however tall the cards run, and the button says "Buy" alone because "Buy Founding permanent" wrapped to two lines and broke that line — the tier name stays on the aria-label a screen reader reads.

Both grants — the managed Relay and ElevenLabs voices — are described as included today across the Hosted page, the hosting notice, Home, Pocket, the READMEs, and the Settings voice line. Founding annual now closes only when the ladder reaches list. Checkout still opens the TODO notice, and the notice keeps the pending independent review security-remote.md requires.

The Relay boundary box and the 'What it costs' heading repeated what the Free card now says and pushed the prices below the fold. The hosted qualifier (metadata, the pending independent review, the trust model) moves into the managed Relay section; #pricing stays an anchor for the JSON-LD offers. /self-host keeps the box.

The page now presents unbuilt behavior as available today. docs/specs/hosted.md -> "Managed voice" says managed voice is "An admin-only test slice", and isAdmin is also the Hosted Relay's entitlement (NOT_ENTITLED_ERROR for anyone else). No checkout or licence exists yet to grant either. Despite that, the diff says:
Hosted.tsxlabels both sections "Included with any plan".- The voice section promises voices "chosen per pane from a curated set", an in-app disclosure "before the first request", clips "cached on your machine", and a "daily fair-use cap".
pricing.mdlists all four under Future (Managed voice), and none exists inlib/src/lib/managed-voice-engine.ts. vscode-ext/README.mdnow says "The released extension connects through Dormouse Hosted". A non-admin user who installs it can't enroll a Burrow.- Home and the Pocket playground drop "in development" for Pocket.
docs/specs/website-docs.mdrequires that "Pocket is described only as shipped or explicitly in development". For anyone without the admin account, Pocket over Hosted is neither.
The root is pricing.md's "Must describe both grants as live, never upcoming." That rule sits above the fold but states a commitment the code doesn't keep, so it conflicts with the spec lifecycle in AGENTS.md. The JSON-LD stays PreOrder and the buy buttons are honest, but the surrounding prose isn't. One fix is to keep the prices and cards and describe what the plan will grant until checkout ships. That would leave the voice-section specifics under Future.
fetchCohort requests an endpoint that nothing serves, on every visit. /api/hosted/cohorts is a path on the static Pages site. website/ has no Functions, and Hosted's Workers sit on subdomains, so the request fails on every page load and its result is always discarded. Avatars are expected as same-origin paths, which assumes dormouse.sh will proxy them, but no host for that is decided yet. Until Future item 1 picks the host, hosted-cohorts.ts, the sameOriginPath guard, and FoundersRow defend against responses that can't happen. They might also pin the wrong origin. Dropping them, and keeping the seats line out of the card until the endpoint exists, would shrink this PR without changing what a reader sees.

The switch from a licence to the account's subscription missed three places that still describe the old model. The two in this diff take the suggestions below. The third is outside the diff: docs/specs/hosted.md -> Future item 3 still reads "a real entitlement or licence replacing ADMIN_EMAIL". pricing.md now rules out a licence ("No licence, no offline verification"), so that item should name the subscription instead.

"Pre-launch — word of mouth only, please." sits inside SiteHeader's fixed height, so every offset keyed to it stays right. The playgrounds leave it off. Delete it, and the `prelaunch` props, at launch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A desktop signs in by device code, so nothing is activated. One voice per Pane is still Future, so the page and the plan table promise a member default from a curated set. hosted.md's Future item names the subscription, not a licence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replying to the first draft review: this PR is the first of a stack that builds everything it describes, and the stack is rolling out now, so the page presents the plan as live on purpose.
Until those deploy, the site carries a "Pre-launch — word of mouth only, please." strip, and the buy buttons still open the "Checkout is not wired up yet" notice ( I did take one valid point: one voice per Pane is still Future in the whole stack, so the page and the plan table no longer promise it. The hosted.md Future item from the second review now names the subscription instead of a licence. |

That resolves both reviews for me. The stack (#999–#1001) covers what the page presents as live, and the pre-launch strip plus |
