martbost 91a6893df9 Member profiles are optional: an invitation on the dashboard, never a gate
Manson's objection was that requiring a username and a verified email pulls the
build back toward a centralized database of members. He is right, and the
communication gap is real too, so the answer is to ask well rather than to force.

Nothing about holding a position, getting paid, reading the org, the training or
the tools depends on contact details any more. There is no onboarding gate: a
brand-new member registers, lands on their page and is never stopped by a modal.
The dashboard offers a dismissable card ("Not now" snoozes it for a week) that
leads with the thing members actually want, a note the moment a payout lands in
their wallet, and says outright that everything works the same without it. The
inbox is the one place that asks, because a message cannot be delivered to
someone who left no way to reach them, and even there it is an invitation.

The card sits above the tab strip rather than inside the dashboard pane: the page
opens on the pitch tab, so an invitation parked in the dashboard would never be
seen by the new members it is aimed at.

For leaders, /api/public/reach answers "how many of my org can I reach off the
site", scoped by chain.isInTeam so it leaks nothing upward or sideways. That
makes coverage a leader's own problem to solve by asking, not a rule imposed on
members.

Fixes a real bug found by the rewritten suite: the dismissable flag double-booked
as "single-field edit", so saving a username in the opt-in flow closed the dialog
instead of advancing to the email step. Split into oneShot; the suite now asserts
the advance as a regression.

QA, all green: profiles-unit 28, signin-fallback 7, gate-e2e 33 (rewritten to
assert the opposite of what it used to: no forced modal, dismissable everywhere,
visitors unaffected), join-flow 12 cold / 11 refuse / 12 warm.

qa/reseed.sh carries two hard-won guards: never name a shell variable TMP on
Windows (it inherits the system temp dir and rm -rf wipes it), and never pkill.

RM Circle Premium — Crypto Team Build Sponsor Router

A small deployable Node/Express app with:

  • / — evergreen advertising/bridge page
  • /start — dynamic onboarding page with the current team sponsor
  • /admin — password-protected sponsor queue manager
  • JSON-file persistence suitable for a Docker volume

Core workflow

  1. Traffic lands on the evergreen bridge page.
  2. Visitors click Get Started.
  3. /start reads the active sponsor from the server and builds the RM Circle referral link dynamically.
  4. In /admin, increment a sponsor's direct count as joins are verified.
  5. When a sponsor reaches 2, click Qualified.
  6. The next waiting sponsor becomes active immediately—no HTML or ad changes required.

Default seeded queue

The seed data reflects the working Crypto Team Build priority list at build time:

  1. ID 30 — Orlando (active)
  2. ID 36 — Mad Dog
  3. ID 35 — Michael Camire
  4. ID 32 — Melissa
  5. ID 34 — Janie

You can change, reorder, add, or delete sponsors in /admin.

Local run

cp .env.example .env
# edit .env and set a strong ADMIN_PASSWORD + SESSION_SECRET
set -a && . ./.env && set +a
npm start

Open:

  • http://localhost:3000/
  • http://localhost:3000/start
  • http://localhost:3000/admin

Docker / Coolify

This project includes a zero-dependency Node server, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml. No npm package download is required.

Coolify recommendation

  1. Create a new application from this source/repository.
  2. Use the Dockerfile or Compose deployment.
  3. Add environment variables:
    • ADMIN_PASSWORD — strong unique password
    • SESSION_SECRET — long random string
    • NODE_ENV=production
    • DATA_DIR=/app/data
  4. Persist /app/data using a volume.
  5. Point your domain/subdomain at port 3000 through Coolify's normal proxy/domain configuration.
  6. Open /admin, sign in, and verify the queue before sending traffic.

Sponsor referral URL

The default base is:

https://app.thermcircle.com?ref=

The app appends the current sponsor ID, for example:

https://app.thermcircle.com?ref=30

Change the base URL at any time in Admin → Public Page Settings without editing code.

Important operational behavior

The app intentionally does not auto-qualify sponsors based on clicks or blockchain activity. A team admin verifies the actual placement and clicks Qualified. This prevents an ad click or abandoned transaction from rotating the sponsor queue incorrectly.

Safety and compliance notes

The public pages include risk language, avoid guaranteed-income claims, and remind users never to disclose a MetaMask Secret Recovery Phrase. The onboarding page points to the official MetaMask website and identifies Polygon Mainnet as chain ID 137 with POL as the native gas token.

This app does not custody crypto, request wallet seed phrases, execute transactions, or store private keys.
