## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

The must-haves are drawn from three plan frontmatter blocks (02-01, 02-02, 02-03) and cross-checked against the four MKTG requirement IDs.

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Visitor sees a split-panel hero with Teressa's photo on the left and bio copy on the right | VERIFIED | `HeroSection.tsx` — `display: flex`, left div with `next/image fill`, right div with h1 + bio + CTA. `objectPosition: 'center 20%'` art-directs the portrait crop. |
| 2 | Visitor sees an auto-scrolling testimonials carousel that rotates every 5 seconds and pauses on hover | VERIFIED | `TestimonialsSection.tsx` — `useState/useEffect` with `setInterval(5000)`, `onMouseEnter` sets `paused=true`, `onMouseLeave` sets `paused=false`. |
| 3 | Visitor sees a "Listings Coming Soon" placeholder section with brand styling | VERIFIED | `ListingsPlaceholder.tsx` — `id="listings"`, `backgroundColor: '#1B2B4B'`, "Listings Coming Soon" heading, Home icon from lucide-react. |
| 4 | Sticky nav stays visible on scroll and anchor links smooth-scroll to each section | VERIFIED | `SiteNav.tsx` — `position: sticky, top: 0, zIndex: 50`. `globals.css` has `html { scroll-behavior: smooth; }` and `section[id] { scroll-margin-top: 72px; }`. Nav links anchor to `#hero`, `#about`, `#listings`, `#contact`. |
| 5 | Footer shows Teressa's name, license number (with verify comment), and copyright year | VERIFIED | `SiteFooter.tsx` — "Teressa Copeland Homes" bold, license line with `{/* TODO: Verify license number before launch */}` comment, `{new Date().getFullYear()}` copyright. |
| 6 | Visitor can fill in name, email, phone, and message and submit the contact form | VERIFIED | `ContactSection.tsx` — four required fields (name, email, phone, message). `form action={action}` wired to `submitContact` via `useActionState`. |
| 7 | On success, the form is replaced with "Thanks! Teressa will be in touch soon." | VERIFIED | `ContactSection.tsx` line 29-43 — `state.status === 'success'` conditional replaces the `<form>` with a `<div role="status">` containing the thank-you text. |
| 8 | Submissions with the honeypot field filled are silently discarded | VERIFIED | `contact-action.ts` line 37-39 — `if (parsed.data.website !== '') { return { status: 'success' } }` before calling the mailer. |
| 9 | Server-side Zod validation rejects missing required fields | VERIFIED | `contact-action.ts` line 6-12 — `ContactSchema` with `.min(1)` for name, `.email()` for email, `.min(7)` for phone, `.min(10)` for message. `safeParse` returns error state if validation fails. |
| 10 | SMTP credentials are read from env vars — never hardcoded | VERIFIED | `contact-mailer.ts` — all four SMTP values read from `process.env.CONTACT_SMTP_HOST`, `process.env.CONTACT_SMTP_PORT`, `process.env.CONTACT_EMAIL_USER`, `process.env.CONTACT_EMAIL_PASS`. `.env.local` has placeholder stubs. |

**Score:** 10/10 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

All artifact paths in the PLAN frontmatter use `teressa-copeland-homes/app/...` and `teressa-copeland-homes/lib/...`, but the actual project uses a `src/` layout (`teressa-copeland-homes/src/app/...` and `teressa-copeland-homes/src/lib/...`). The SUMMARY.md files correctly document the `src/` paths. The files exist and pass all three levels of verification.

| Artifact | Expected | Exists | Substantive | Wired | Status |
|----------|----------|--------|-------------|-------|--------|
| `src/app/page.tsx` | Homepage route — composes all section components | YES | 21 lines; imports and renders all 6 components in correct order | YES — all components rendered in `<main>` | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/SiteNav.tsx` | Sticky nav with wordmark, desktop links, mobile hamburger | YES | 153 lines; sticky positioning, lucide-react Menu/X icons, responsive CSS | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/HeroSection.tsx` | Split-panel hero with next/image + placeholder copy | YES | 111 lines; next/image fill, PLACEHOLDER comments, gold CTA | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/TestimonialsSection.tsx` | Auto-scrolling carousel — useState/useEffect, arrows, dots | YES | 186 lines; full carousel logic, clearInterval cleanup, arrow+dot controls | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/ListingsPlaceholder.tsx` | Listings coming soon section with brand colors | YES | 68 lines; navy section, Home icon, gold CTA border | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/SiteFooter.tsx` | Footer with name, license number, copyright, nav links | YES | 74 lines; all required content including TODO license comment | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |
| `src/lib/contact-mailer.ts` | Nodemailer transporter + sendContactEmail() | YES | 31 lines; SMTP transporter, HTML + text email body | YES — called from contact-action.ts | VERIFIED |
| `src/lib/contact-action.ts` | Server Action — validates with Zod, checks honeypot, calls mailer | YES | 48 lines; `'use server'`, Zod schema, honeypot check, mailer call | YES — imported in ContactSection.tsx via useActionState | VERIFIED |
| `src/app/_components/ContactSection.tsx` | Client component — useActionState form with honeypot, success swap | YES | 88 lines; `'use client'`, useActionState, honeypot field, success/error states | YES — imported in page.tsx | VERIFIED |

---

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `page.tsx` | all `_components/*.tsx` | named imports, section render order | WIRED | All 6 imports present; rendered in order SiteNav → HeroSection → TestimonialsSection → ListingsPlaceholder → ContactSection → SiteFooter |
| `SiteNav.tsx` | section IDs (#hero, #about, #listings, #contact) | `href="#..."` anchor links | WIRED | All 4 anchors present in `navLinks` array; CSS `scroll-behavior: smooth` in globals.css |
| `TestimonialsSection.tsx` | interval cleanup | `useEffect` return `clearInterval` | WIRED | Line 48-50: `if (intervalRef.current) clearInterval(intervalRef.current)` in cleanup return |
| `ContactSection.tsx` | `contact-action.ts` | `useActionState(submitContact, initialState)` | WIRED | Line 19: `const [state, action, pending] = useActionState(submitContact, initialState)` |
| `contact-action.ts` | `contact-mailer.ts` | `await sendContactEmail(parsed.data)` | WIRED | Line 42: `await sendContactEmail(parsed.data)` inside try block |
| `contact-mailer.ts` | `process.env.CONTACT_*` vars | nodemailer `createTransport` auth object | WIRED | Lines 4, 5, 8, 9, 20, 22 — all four CONTACT_ env vars referenced; none hardcoded |

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan(s) | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|----------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| MKTG-01 | 02-01, 02-03 | Visitor sees hero section with professional photo and warm bio | SATISFIED | `HeroSection.tsx` — split-panel with `/red.jpg` via next/image, placeholder bio paragraph, gold "Get in Touch" CTA |
| MKTG-02 | 02-01, 02-03 | Visitor sees "listings coming soon" placeholder section | SATISFIED | `ListingsPlaceholder.tsx` — `id="listings"`, navy background, "Listings Coming Soon" heading |
| MKTG-03 | 02-02, 02-03 | Visitor can submit a contact form with name, email, phone, and message | SATISFIED | `ContactSection.tsx` — all 4 fields present, `submitContact` server action wired, success swap confirmed |
| MKTG-04 | 02-01, 02-03 | Visitor sees a testimonials section with client reviews | SATISFIED | `TestimonialsSection.tsx` — 5 placeholder testimonials, auto-rotate, arrow/dot controls |

**Orphaned requirements check:** REQUIREMENTS.md maps only MKTG-01, MKTG-02, MKTG-03, MKTG-04 to Phase 2. All four are claimed in the plans. No orphaned requirements.

---

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `HeroSection.tsx` | 19, 24, 29 | `PLACEHOLDER HEADLINE/SUBHEADING/BIO` comments | Info | Intentional — copy must be replaced before launch, properly labelled per plan spec |
| `TestimonialsSection.tsx` | 6 | `PLACEHOLDER TESTIMONIALS` comment | Info | Intentional — reviews must be replaced with real ones before launch, properly labelled |
| `SiteFooter.tsx` | 35 | `TODO: Verify license number before launch` | Info | Intentional — license number ambiguity documented per plan spec |

No blockers or warnings found. All PLACEHOLDER and TODO comments are intentional per plan design — they are content-replacement markers, not implementation stubs. No `return null`, empty implementations, or stub handlers exist in any component.

**No agent login link on public page:** Confirmed — no reference to `/agent/login` or `/agent` routes in `page.tsx` or any `_components/*.tsx` file.

---

### Build Verification

```
npm run build exit code: 0
TypeScript: no errors
Static route /  prerendered successfully
```

Route table confirms `/` (homepage) is static, agent routes remain dynamic — correct separation.

---

### Plan Path Discrepancy (Non-Blocking)

The PLAN frontmatter artifact paths reference `teressa-copeland-homes/app/...` (without `src/`), but the actual codebase uses `teressa-copeland-homes/src/app/...`. This is a documentation inconsistency — the SUMMARY.md files correctly record the `src/` paths, and the build confirms the files are at the right locations for Next.js to resolve them. No functional impact.

---

### Human Verification Required

The following items were verified by the human reviewer during Plan 03 execution and documented in 02-03-SUMMARY.md:

1. **Sticky nav** — approved (stays fixed on scroll, anchor links scroll correctly)
2. **Hero section** — approved (photo displays, bio + CTA visible)
3. **Testimonials carousel** — approved (auto-advances, hover pauses, arrows and dots work)
4. **Listings placeholder** — approved (navy section with "Listings Coming Soon" text)
5. **Contact form** — approved (form submits, thank-you message appears)
6. **Footer** — approved (license number present with verify comment, copyright year 2026)
7. **Mobile hamburger nav** — approved (appears at narrow viewport, tap opens links)

One human-verify item cannot be fully confirmed by static analysis alone:

**Real email delivery** — the form server action runs and returns `{ status: 'success' }` (confirmed by wiring), but actual email delivery to Teressa's inbox requires SMTP credentials configured in `.env.local`. The current `.env.local` has placeholder values (`your_email@example.com`). This is a known, documented setup item — not a code gap.

---

### Gaps Summary

No gaps. All 10 observable truths are verified. All artifacts exist, are substantive, and are wired. All four MKTG requirements are satisfied. The build passes with zero TypeScript errors. Phase goal is achieved.
