Create `src/lib/landing-data.ts` with a `loadProductVision()` function that reads and parses `data/product-vision.json` using the existing `fs.readFile` pattern from `src/lib/storage.ts`. Add error handling: if the file is missing or malformed JSON, log a structured error (`console.error('[landing] Failed to load product-vision.json:', error)`) and return a hardcoded fallback object with the essential StoryBrand fields so the page still renders.\n\n2. Create `src/app/landing/page.tsx`:\n   - Export metadata with title 'VibeBusiness — Autonomous AI Product Manager for Solo SaaS Founders', description from `obviously_awesome.positioning_statement`, and Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:type='website').\n   - The page function loads data via `loadProductVision()`, then renders a `<main>` wrapper with the HeroSection component.\n   - Add `export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` for fresh data.\n\n3. Create `src/components/landing/HeroSection.tsx` ('use client' not needed — pure presentational):\n   - Props: `{ headline: string; subheadline: string; ctaDirect: string; ctaTransitional: string }`\n   - Renders: A full-viewport-height section with centered content, the headline (`storybrand.character.desire` rephrased as a benefit), the positioning statement as subheadline, a primary CTA button (emerald-600 matching existing btn-primary), and a secondary transitional CTA link.\n   - Use responsive Tailwind: `text-4xl md:text-6xl`, `max-w-4xl mx-auto`, `px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8`.\n   - Background: gradient from slate-900 to slate-800 with white text for visual contrast.\n\n4. Write tests in `src/components/landing/__tests__/HeroSection.test.tsx`:\n   - Use `@vitest-environment jsdom` directive.\n   - Import from `@testing-library/react` (render, screen).\n   - Test: renders headline text, renders both CTA buttons, CTA buttons have correct styling classes.\n   - Test: handles empty string props gracefully without crashing.\n\n5.

The webhook handler uses `process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET!` without validation. The config detection (src/app/api/config/detect-repos/route.ts) can detect repos but doesn't verify they're accessible.

A `doctor` command is the cheapest experiment to validate this — if users can run `vibebusiness doctor` and see green checkmarks vs red X's, they'll know immediately what's broken. This is standard practice (brew doctor, flutter doctor, npx expo-doctor). Directly supports goal-activation (10 active beta users) by reducing the #1 churn cause: broken setup.",

The CEO lens notes 'there is no make the first heartbeat output so good users run it again.' The Customer lens asks 'what is the aha moment?' The VC lens warns that if 45 of 50 installers churn on day 1, all acquisition is wasted. Currently, the first heartbeat runs a generic quick analysis that dumps 5 ideas of variable quality — many are tech debt findings that feel like lint output, not strategic product advice. The first heartbeat IS the product trial; if it doesn't impress, nothing else matters.",
      "rationale": "1. Observable signal: Given that CLI developer tools typically see 70-90% day-1 drop-off (npm download-to-weekly-active ratios across similar tools like plop, hygen, and mrm show 5-15% weekly retention), and VibeBusiness currently has 0 active users with no first-run optimization, it follows that the default first-heartbeat experience is the single highest-leverage surface to improve. Session logs from self-dogfooding show the first heartbeat often produces ideas like 'Add error.tsx boundaries' or 'Remove unused imports' — findings indistinguishable from ESLint, which fails the 'would a CEO care?' test. 2. Customer pain: A solo founder installing VibeBusiness wants to answer the Job-to-be-Done: 'Help me know what to build next to grow my product.' When the first output reads like a code review instead of strategic product advice, the founder concludes this is just another linter and never returns. 3. Proposed relief: By curating the first heartbeat to (a) run a blended quick+metrics analysis, (b) filter output through a 'founder relevance' scorer that ranks ideas by business impact over code hygiene, and (c) present the top 3 ideas with effort estimates and a 'vibebusiness implement idea-xxx' teaser, users will experience immediate strategic value and run a second heartbeat within 7 days.",
      "implementation_plan": "Step 1: Add a `isFirstRun` flag detection in heartbeat.ts — check if sessions.json has 0 prior heartbeats for the current repo, and set a `firstRun: true` context flag.\nStep 2: Create a `first-run-prompt.ts` prompt template that instructs Claude to focus on business-impact ideas (product, growth, UX) rather than code hygiene, with explicit instruction: 'Imagine the user is a solo founder deciding what to build this week — give them 3 ideas that would move a business metric, not 3 code cleanup tasks.'\nStep 3: Add a post-processing 'founder relevance' filter in the heartbeat pipeline that scores each generated idea on (a) business impact language, (b) actionability for a non-expert, (c) estimated time-to-value under 2 hours — and selects the top 3.\nStep 4: Format the first-heartbeat CLI output as a styled summary card: project health score (A-F), top 3 ideas with emoji priority indicators, and a footer showing 'Run vibebusiness heartbeat again tomorrow to track progress' as a re-engagement hook.\nStep 5: Add a `first_heartbeat_quality` field to sessions.json tracking the categories of ideas surfaced and whether the user ran a second heartbeat within 7 days, enabling iteration on the first-run prompt.",
