This is a test area on a testnet contract, but it was seeded on 15 Sep with a copy of
InstantAdPay's live member list and it carried a working SendGrid key. On 18 Sep the
coach's stall nudges fired on schedule and emailed 95 real people from it. One of them
clicked through and opened a fresh account two hours later.
Nothing was misconfigured. Every send site checked mailer.hasKey(), the key was there,
so every send site got a yes. The default was wrong, not the plumbing.
OUTBOUND=on is now required before anything can leave: hasKey() is false without it,
send() rejects outright, and the two mailing loops (coach nudges, lead drip) never start.
SIGNUPS=closed shuts the three registration doors and reports signupsOpen:false, which
also drops the email-code card from the UI. Members already here keep their dashboards.
A missing env var means silence now, not delivery.
