First-build checklist

Create a child issue under MY-2577 for Good Morning Limerick reserve first-build source registry and sponsor prospectus.

Build sequence

  • Scaffold repo from the generated market template after a Linear child issue exists.
  • Create source-registry.json from this seed and validate every URL.
  • Add Buttondown-first subscribe page with sending disabled.
  • Add Limerick-specific Amazon product searches only after affiliate-region decision.
  • Create sponsor inventory and proof ledger before any outreach.
  • Generate Facebook launch pack but keep posts and ads unlaunched.
  • Run npm run issue:build, npm run website:build and npm run website:check before first commit.

Blockers

  • Run a URL audit before scaffold work; this pack is a source seed, not a validated registry.
  • Confirm stable Met Eireann and Irish Rail locality URLs before automated daily weather or travel copy.
  • Keep local media as discovery only and verify civic facts against council, planning, transport or health records.
