This hub gathers product and partnership milestones across spring 2026. The mainline is aswritten's own launch: a [beta at ~10 users] (Narrative_ProductBetaStatus) shifting from sprint to marathon, an [April 1 soft launch] (Narrative_April1SoftLaunch) (revised 2026-03-23 into above/below-the-line cuts), and a retrospective [28-day flight-control arc] (Narrative_LaunchFlightControlArc) (Mar 19–Apr 14) reporting 24 tools reduced to 7 and 73+ E2E tests. Running alongside is the the enterprise customer partnership thread: a [bulk-mail MVP in a customer test environment] (Narrative_BulkMailMVPLive), [described by the customer's chief architect] (Obs_CustomerArchitectBulkMailMVPQuote), framing an 8-week, ~100-feature sprint as a team-trial proving ground. Technical and commercial milestones sit beneath: a [V0 channel-agnostic SMS deep-link] (Narrative_V0_SMS_DeepLink) (Apr 8–11), [single-node extraction merge decisions] (Observation_SingleNodeExtractionStatus), and [agreed next steps] (Observation_NextSteps) including a [amount]/month pricing discussion. The region spans launch readiness, beta traction, customer-trial mechanics, and infra/model choices.

verbatim Two clocks: aswritten's own April-1 launch is urgent and now, while the enterprise customer's bulk-mail customer won't go live until October 2026 — different velocities under one hub.
verbatim Distribution is interview-driven not browse-driven — marketplace browse/search, starter perspectives, and content library were explicitly cut below the line.
verbatim Mode shift from sprint to marathon contrasts with the flight-control arc's compressed 28-day sprint framing — which is the milestone that defines the moment?
verbatim Model road not yet taken: pragmatic path is merge Sonnet now and eval Gemini in parallel, blocked on eval infra (task-072) rather than committing to Gemini.
verbatim The April-14 flight-control arc reads as a concluding retrospective, but it post-dates and reframes the still-open April-1 launch and live beta — a closed story laid over open ones.
