Marty, 2026-09-16, after the third "why didn't my sponsor get paid" thread of the day (livedreams / gracie25,
Morten / Terry's linked wallets). GET /api/my/trace?who=<#|username> (yourself, anyone up to 3 levels
below you, or your own 3 uplines) and GET /api/admin/trace?who= list every purchase the member was
part of, newest first: buyer, sponsor, package, then levels 1-3 with the recipient, the skipped
positions and the reason ("not qualified: had N of 2 qualifying buyers then"), the platform share, and
a verify link. Linked extra wallets are named after their owner. Earnings tab card "Trace a payment";
admin member card gets a "Payment trace" section; chatbot canned answer + AI prompt route the
question there.

Marty, 2026-09-16: a purchase must never wait on a sponsor who has not linked a wallet / switched on
payouts. /api/sponsor and /me now walk the site's sponsor line upward to the first upline that is
activated with payouts on (not on the no-payout list) and the buy proceeds under them; nobody
activated -> the catch position (#1). The buyer sees a one-line notice and carries on; admin gets a
heads-up. When the position is created on-chain (MemberActivated), sponsorSyncOnEvent re-points the
buyer's stored sponsor to whoever was paid (#1 included), so the referral leaves the skipped
sponsor's line for good, then sends the pointed notices: the skipped sponsor(s) are told they lost
this referral permanently and how to switch on payouts; the sponsor who was paid is told the
referral is theirs for good and to coach the one who missed it (teach-forward). Admin lookup:
GET /api/admin/sponsor-resolve?ref=. Only a transient chain error still pauses a buy.

Same class of bug as the campaign #27 false report: the Shorts report was a prompt() pre-filled with
'inappropriate'. Members now tap a reason button on purpose or cancel. Script tags bumped.

Campaign #27 (house AdRevSplit text ad) was reported "broken" with no note while the target framed
and loaded fine; the report dialog was prompt() with 'broken' as the default value, so one stray OK
filed it. Now IAP.ask with an explicit, validated reason and an optional note; common.js tag bumped
on all pages.

Hugh earned a 10-credit sign-in bonus, then bought a 280-credit extension; earned credits spend
first, so Earned read 0 and the bonus looked lost. There was no record a member could check.
Now every real credit movement writes a credit_log row (JSON store in file mode): welcome, sign-in
bonus with streak, daily claim, inbox reads, video watches, verified visits, milestone/leaderboard
bonuses, partner codes, admin/team grants, AI Copy Engine charges + refunds, flat buys (featured
run, extension, visit pack, more visits), login-ad days, and metered delivery rolled up per
campaign per day; on-chain purchased-credit spends are marked. GET /api/my/credits/activity;
dashboard shows the last 40 under Campaigns (also when there are no campaigns) with a link from
Earn credits. Chatbot canned answer + AI prompt updated; my.js tag bumped.

Hugh extended his featured link and his balance fell 1,133 -> 0: the row still carried the 1,400
parked by the old add-credits button, and reactivating it reserved that budget again. Both flat
paths now set budget to spent + accrued + cost. Featured Run column shows "N of M days left"
(Hugh: "says 14 but it's actually 7") and "M days done" after the run.

Hugh and Michael both added credits to a featured run expecting more days. Featured is a flat
daily buy, so the credits sat unspent until the run ended and their balance read 0 meanwhile.
Now: /api/my/campaigns/:id/extend books extra days after the current run (or from today if it
ended) and charges them at once; top-up refuses featured; a visits top-up buys more visits at the
pack rate, charged now; rows show paid up front + day count + runs through <date> / run ended;
explainer under the campaign table; chatbot canned answer + AI prompt updated; my.js v tag bumped.
