V1-ALPHA Ships When the Round Trip Closes in Sixty Seconds

What this means for you

smo1 V1-ALPHA does not ship when a feature list is checked. It ships when one observable round trip works: create a short link, visit the short URL, watch analytics appear in the dashboard within sixty seconds, and see the pawprintz score update for that link.

The pitch

The launch story is one sentence: a real link, a real click, a real score, in real time. Everything else, the dashboard, the marketing site, the scoring chips, exists to support that single moment of proof.

Who it’s for

Anyone writing about smo1’s launch: a changelog entry, a blog post, a tweet, a deck slide. The narrative is the same on every surface.

Proof points

• Round-trip target quoted from MILESTONES.md M5.2: analytics appear within 60 seconds of the click
• Edge resolution target quoted from MILESTONES.md M4: a known test slug resolves within 100ms p99 from the edge
• Five realignment-criteria dimensions must hold simultaneously, each backed by command output or an endpoint response, not by summary text
