SEO Readiness Portal MVP — Status and Evidence

SEO Readiness Portal MVP — status and evidence

Scope

SEO Readiness Portal is the productized continuation of SEO Automation v1. The MVP converts intake, readiness audit structure, backlog, and reporting workflow into a local-first SaaS scaffold.

Current implementation status

  • Phase 1: scaffold, app shell, RBAC types, audit domain types, initial schema, spec validation.
  • Phase 2: partner/client workspace, client detail page, structured intake UI, sample demo data, intake field definitions and guardrails.
  • Phase 3: local/dev persistence for intake save/submit flow.
  • Phase 4: local readiness audit runner with persisted audit results and audit detail page.
  • Phase 5: local draft report and backlog generator from persisted audit findings.
  • Phase 6: local Markdown report review/export workflow with persisted export metadata and checksum.
  • Phase 7: local export review notes and internal approval status.
  • Phase 8: local client handoff checklist for internally approved exports.
  • Phase 9: local client handoff summary draft for approved checklist exports.
  • Phase 10: local partner follow-up package draft from approved handoff summary drafts.
  • Phase 11: internal SnowIT deploy readiness with Docker packaging, persistent volume, health endpoint, and Cloudflare Access trusted-header gate.
  • Phase 12: live protected Cloudflare Access route completed and strictly authenticated on seo-tools.alai.no; exact seo-tools.snowit.ba route remains blocked pending snowit.ba nameserver/Cloudflare zone activation.
  • Post-UAT UX fix: explicit Add new client flow added from /partners to /clients/new, creating a lead client, active site, and draft intake before redirecting into intake.

Add client UX delivered behavior

  • /partners now has a primary Add new client call-to-action and a simple 3-step workflow explanation.
  • /clients/new provides a dedicated form for partner/owner, company, contact, website/domain, target markets, languages, priority services, competitors, CMS/hosting notes, access-status fields, and internal notes.
  • Creating a client persists a lead client, active site, and draft intake, then redirects to the intake page with a success notice.
  • Validation rejects missing required fields, invalid email, duplicate active domains, secret-like wording, and ranking/traffic/guarantee claims.
  • Evidence: UX-ADD-CLIENT-EVIDENCE.md, /tmp/evidence-102370/add-client-ux-validation.log, /tmp/evidence-102370/browser-add-client-flow.json, /tmp/evidence-102370/add-client-live-deploy-and-smoke.log, /tmp/evidence-102370-live-auth/verification.json, and screenshots under /tmp/evidence-102370/screenshots/ plus /tmp/evidence-102370-live-auth/screenshots/.

Phase 3 delivered behavior

  • File-backed local/dev workspace repository.
  • Default app data path: .data/workspace.json and gitignored.
  • Partner/client pages read through the persistence repository.
  • Intake page server actions:
    • save draft
    • submit intake
  • Repository updates client, site, and intake records.
  • Submitted intake rejects missing required fields.
  • Submitted intake rejects secret-like content such as password, API key, token, secret, or bearer wording.

Phase 4 delivered behavior

  • Basic local readiness audit runner, not a live crawler.
  • Client workspace action to run a local audit.
  • Persisted audit records in local/dev file-backed workspace data.
  • Audit detail page with readiness score, findings, and guardrails.
  • Guardrail checks prevent ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in generated findings.

Phase 5 delivered behavior

  • Generates a local draft readiness report from a persisted local audit.
  • Generates client-safe backlog items from audit findings.
  • Persists reports and backlogItems in local/dev workspace data.
  • Adds audit detail action to generate a draft report.
  • Adds report detail page with executive summary, guardrails, and backlog draft.
  • Guardrail checks prevent ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in generated report/backlog text.

Phase 6 delivered behavior

  • Generates a local Markdown export from a persisted draft readiness report.
  • Persists reportExports metadata in local/dev workspace data, including filename, byte length, and SHA-256 checksum.
  • Stores the Markdown artifact under local .data/exports/ storage.
  • Adds report action to generate the Markdown export.
  • Adds export detail route /clients/[clientId]/reports/[reportId]/exports/[exportId] with metadata, guardrails, and Markdown preview.
  • Guardrail checks prevent positive ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in generated export text.

Phase 7 delivered behavior

  • Persists exportReviewNotes in local/dev workspace data.
  • Adds export detail action to save a local internal review note.
  • Adds export detail UI for current local review status, reviewer, note, and review history count.
  • Supports internal statuses: draft review, changes requested, approved internal.
  • Guardrail checks reject secret-like wording and positive ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in review notes.
  • Approval status is internal/local only and does not imply public deploy or client delivery.

Phase 8 delivered behavior

  • Persists handoffChecklists in local/dev workspace data.
  • Adds export detail action to generate a local handoff checklist.
  • Requires an approved_internal local export review note before checklist generation.
  • Adds export detail UI for latest local handoff checklist, linked review note, and pending checklist items.
  • Checklist references local evidence such as export checksum and approved review note id.
  • Guardrail checks reject secret-like wording and positive ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in checklist content.
  • Checklist is internal/local only and does not imply deploy, publication, or client delivery.

Phase 9 delivered behavior

  • Persists handoffSummaries in local/dev workspace data.
  • Adds export detail action to generate a local handoff summary draft.
  • Requires a local handoff checklist linked to an approved_internal local export review note before summary generation.
  • Adds export detail UI for latest local summary draft, recommended next steps, evidence references, and limitations.
  • Summary references local evidence such as export filename/checksum, approved review note id, and checklist id.
  • Guardrail checks reject secret-like wording and positive ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in summary content.
  • Summary is local draft copy only and does not imply email sending, deploy, publication, or client delivery.

Phase 10 delivered behavior

  • Persists partnerFollowupPackages in local/dev workspace data.
  • Adds export detail action to generate a local partner follow-up package draft.
  • Requires a local handoff summary draft linked to a checklist and approved_internal local review note before package generation.
  • Adds export detail UI for latest local partner follow-up package draft, suggested message draft, client questions, internal preparation steps, evidence references, limitations, and guardrails.
  • Package references local evidence such as export filename/checksum, approved review note id, checklist id, and handoff summary id.
  • Guardrail checks reject secret-like wording and positive ranking/traffic/guarantee wording in package content.
  • Package is local draft copy only and does not imply automated email sending, public deploy, publication, or client delivery.

Phase 11 delivered behavior

  • Adds standalone Next.js production packaging for container runtime.
  • Adds Dockerfile and internal Docker Compose profile.
  • Binds the app origin to 127.0.0.1:3100 only in the internal compose profile.
  • Uses file-backed Docker volume persistence at /data/workspace.json for internal v1.
  • Adds SEO_PORTAL_ACCESS_MODE=cf-access mode.
  • Adds app-level trusted-header access gate using CF-Access-Authenticated-User-Email after Cloudflare Access authenticates upstream.
  • Adds /api/health endpoint for container/reverse-proxy checks.
  • Adds internal runbook for proposed seo-tools.snowit.ba deployment.
  • Local container verification confirms unauthenticated page access returns 401 and authenticated-header page access returns 200.
  • Live DNS/Cloudflare Access for seo-tools.snowit.ba is not yet configured in this session.

Phase 12 live-route status

Completed live protected route:

  • https://seo-tools.alai.no

Observed behavior:

  • unauthenticated /partners request returns HTTP 302 to Cloudflare Access login;
  • spoofed CF-Access-Authenticated-User-Email request without Access session still returns HTTP 302 to Cloudflare Access login;
  • local origin remains bound to 127.0.0.1:3100 and blocks unauthenticated page access with HTTP 401;
  • browser verification confirms the live unauthenticated page lands on Sign in ・ Cloudflare Access, not the origin app;
  • strict authenticated UAT for [email protected] passed: OTP was received/submitted and the browser loaded https://seo-tools.alai.no with title SEO Readiness Portal.

Exact SnowIT URL status:

  • https://seo-tools.snowit.ba is confirmed as the desired SnowIT-branded URL, but is not live yet.
  • snowit.ba is currently hosted in AWS Route53 and is not an active Cloudflare zone in the available Cloudflare account.
  • Cloudflare Access rejected seo-tools.snowit.ba with domain does not belong to zone.
  • A pending Cloudflare zone for snowit.ba exists with nameservers aspen.ns.cloudflare.com and wells.ns.cloudflare.com.
  • Existing Route53 records have been mirrored into the pending Cloudflare zone as DNS-only records, and seo-tools.snowit.ba has been prepared there as a proxied CNAME to the Cloudflare Tunnel target.
  • Nameserver migration/delegation was approved as the correct direction, but is blocked by missing registrar/NIC access path. AWS Route53Domains reports .ba as unsupported, and no Bitwarden item for NIC.ba/UTIC/SnowIT domain registrar credentials was found.

Non-goals preserved

  • No public unauthenticated deploy.
  • No live DNS/Cloudflare Access configuration completed for seo-tools.snowit.ba in this session.
  • No nameserver migration for snowit.ba was executed automatically.
  • No production database connection or secrets.
  • No Google Search Console or Analytics integration.
  • No paid keyword/SERP API integration.
  • No ranking or traffic claims.

Suggested next phase

Phase 13 candidate: obtain registrar/NIC access path for snowit.ba, execute the approved nameserver migration to Cloudflare, then create the exact seo-tools.snowit.ba Access application and run authenticated browser verification through the SnowIT URL. Pending Cloudflare zone is already pre-populated.

2026-06-22 — LIVE self-serve autonomous loop verified (MC #102915)

  • Status: LIVE in production, autonomous self-serve loop confirmed end-to-end WITHOUT human involvement.
  • Azure: app seo-readiness-alai (rg-seo-readiness-prod), state Running, image 20260618-ga4-selfheal (real audit engine).
  • Public self-serve path: https://seo-tools.snowit.ba/intake/<token> (CF Access bypass for /intake/*; /partners stays gated).
  • Independent Proveo live E2E (real browser/Playwright) — PASS:
    • Magic-link intake form renders (HTTP 200, screenshot).
    • AI chatbot live (/api/intake-chat) returns real Bosnian response — tier: Groq.
    • Form submit → IntakeSubmission v1 persisted (screenshot).
    • Auto-audit pipeline fired post-submit: live_crawl OK + report_draft OK, audit (3 findings), report with 9-step Bosnian action plan — all in ~10s.
  • Evidence: /tmp/alai/seo-portal-e2e-104192/ (screenshots step3/step5, step4-uat-chat.json, workspace-live-after-submit.json); til-done receipt /tmp/til-done/102915-20260622T133626Z.json; verdict /tmp/evidence-102915/verdict.json.
  • Open follow-ups (non-blocking):
    1. Production chatbot single-tier Groq only — no Anthropic fallback key on live app → 503 risk if Groq down.
    2. Minor: pipeline_record/notify stages not persisted to workspace snapshot (intake-pipeline.ts ~L208).
    3. Google GSC/GA restricted-scope still pending Google OAuth verification (#103428) — affects live ranking/traffic data only, NOT the crawl-based audit which works now.

Conclusion: ALAI/SnowIT has a working autonomous SEO tool that serves clients (audit + Bosnian action plan) without Asmir or CEO at every step except the designed partner-mediated magic-link entry.
