Continuity desk — merchant handshake (lab)

For: you as operator (sales + health).
Merchant: one secure link → Turn on Continuity — no DNS/rsync vocabulary.
Held: agentic publish/failover runners (booth jobs stay operator-side for now).

Before you send invites (lab)

Create the offer on /continuity first (mints the token).
Cross-phone: Copy invite pack on the desk and send it to the merchant — they paste on the join page if ops aren’t on their phone yet. Or sync ops to a Pixel node (PUT /continuity/ops) so GET /continuity/invite/:token works.
Merchant does not need DNS or a digest.
Shortcut: Demo: real McFlamingo shines in seeds Continuity from the live origin https://www.mcflamingo.com/ (digest from live HTML when fetchable, else public/mcflamingo/homepage-snapshot.html).
Open join page must show the merchant screen (Continuity · merchant / Turn on Continuity) — not the operator desk.

Discipline: every Continuity pitch pairs usefulness with “settlement and the map live on Pixel — Pixel does not host the internet.” See operator-dns.md.

Run

bun run dev

Open:

Admin: http://localhost:8080/continuity
One-click: Demo: real McFlamingo shines in
Storefront preview: www.mcflamingo.com
Continuity snapshot (lab digest/booth): /mcflamingo/homepage-snapshot.html
Merchant invite: /continuity/join/<token> (same browser)
Kill-origin CLI: bun run test:mcflamingo — see mcflamingo-continuity.md

Money shape

Piece	When	What
Map fee	Always while covered	~$15–30/mo (`priceUsdPerMonth`)
Till	Origin dark + sales still clear	Default 100 bps (1%) of PIX volume (`tillCutBpsWhenOriginDark`)

Till is a journal (tillEvents / recordTillSettlement) plus optional on-chain UTXOs via the Continuity booth (settleBoothCheckoutOnPixel). Accrues only while till is active. Journal-only rows are labeled; booth payments set onChain + txid.

Continuity booth (real PIX)

/continuity/booth/<domain>

Pay with Pixel funds an ephemeral customer, settles to the merchant address, and — when origin is dark — moves the till fee UTXO to the till address. Same-browser localStorage session (pixel.continuity.chain.v1).

bun run test:continuity-order
bun run test:continuity-deepen   # invite packs + POST /continuity/order webhook

Lab chaos drill

bun run test:chaos-drill

Walks: live → origin dark → canServeWithoutOrigin → till journal accrues.
Desk: Check origin health (ops flip if probe fails) · Open Continuity booth · Run lab chaos drill. Not Gate J.

Admin steps

Create offer — business name, domain, map fee
Copy secure link — send to merchant
Merchant turns on — one button (digest optional; you may attach later)
Assign booths — which of your 5 rung URLs serve them
Go live — SISO digest in the light + operator booth jobs checklist
Mark origin dark (when failover happens) — till activates

Merchant experience

Secure link only. Offer copy + Turn on Continuity. No digest upload required. No admin chrome.
