Stability Sprint + Funnel Tracking Foundation
Stability-focused invoice/scanner hardening and an end-to-end funnel measurement baseline from landing to paid conversion.
Invoice: moved PDF download to client-only rendering to avoid react-pdf SSR/Node runtime failures. Invoice: added stronger change guards to reduce render/sync loops between form and live document editor. Deal scanner: added race guards for overlapping analysis requests and stronger error telemetry. Funnel: introduced tracking chain for landing -> tool_start -> listing_created -> checkout_started. Paid tracking: server-side funnel_paid_conversion event from Lemon Squeezy webhook flow (when GA secrets are configured). Roadmap governance: every item now includes KPI + core-loop metric; free-tool gate enforces direct listing impact. v1.11.02026-02-16
