FRE-750: Break infinite recovery cascade, reassign FRE-620 to Founding Engineer

- Cancelled 700+ runaway recovery issues (FRE-767 through FRE-2000+)
- Reassigned FRE-620 (analytics setup) from error-state Senior Engineer to available Founding Engineer
- Removed blocker chain that was preventing FRE-620 from progressing
- Documented system bug: recovery system creates recovery issues for cancelled recovery issues

# FRE-674 Completion Summary
**Issue:** Set up Reddit campaign UTM tracking
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
**Completed:** April 27, 2026
**Owner:** CMO
---
## What Was Done
### Backend Implementation
**File:** `server/trpc/beta-router.ts`
Added 5 UTM parameters to the beta signup schema:
- `utmSource` - Traffic source (e.g., "reddit")
- `utmMedium` - Channel type (e.g., "social")
- `utmCampaign` - Campaign identifier (e.g., "beta_recruitment")
- `utmContent` - Specific content (e.g., "screenwriting")
- `utmTerm` - Optional search term
All UTM data is stored in the `metadata` JSON field of the `waitlistSignups` table alongside the beta application data.
### Frontend Implementation
**File:** `src/routes/beta/BetaSignup.tsx`
Added automatic UTM parameter capture:
- `captureUTMParams()` function extracts UTM parameters from URL query string
- Runs automatically when component loads
- Parameters passed silently with form submission
- No user interaction required
**File:** `src/lib/api/trpc-hooks.ts`
Updated `useBetaSignup` hook type definition to include all 5 UTM fields.
### Documentation
**File:** `marketing/reddit-campaign-utm-tracking.md`
Updated with:
- Implementation details (backend + frontend changes)
- Testing guide with manual test steps
- Database verification query
- Test cases for each subreddit URL
- Status updated to reflect completion
### Memory & Planning
**Files Updated:**
- `memory/2026-04-27.md` - Added FRE-674 completion to daily notes
- `agents/cmo/life/projects/scripter-launch/items.yaml` - Added atomic fact
---
## Tracking URLs
These URLs will now be tracked automatically:
### r/Screenwriting (Primary)
```
https://scripter.app/beta?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=beta_recruitment&utm_content=screenwriting
```
### r/Filmmakers (Cross-post)
```
https://scripter.app/beta?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=beta_recruitment&utm_content=filmmakers
```
### r/Scriptwriting (Follow-up)
```
https://scripter.app/beta?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=beta_recruitment&utm_content=scriptwriting
```
---
## Testing Plan (April 28-30)
### Manual Testing Steps
1. Navigate to a UTM-tagged URL
2. Fill out and submit the beta signup form
3. Verify in database:
```sql
SELECT email, name, source, metadata
FROM waitlistSignups
WHERE metadata LIKE '%utmSource%'
ORDER BY createdAt DESC
LIMIT 1;
```
4. Expected metadata JSON should include:
```json
{
"isBetaApplication": true,
"utmSource": "reddit",
"utmMedium": "social",
"utmCampaign": "beta_recruitment",
"utmContent": "screenwriting",
...
}
```
### Test Cases
| Test | URL Parameters | Expected utmSource | Expected utmContent |
|------|---------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| r/Screenwriting | `?utm_source=reddit&utm_content=screenwriting` | reddit | screenwriting |
| r/Filmmakers | `?utm_source=reddit&utm_content=filmmakers` | reddit | filmmakers |
| r/Scriptwriting | `?utm_source=reddit&utm_content=scriptwriting` | reddit | scriptwriting |
| No UTM | (no parameters) | null | null |

## Next Steps

## CRITICAL: scripter.app Outage (Day 4)
### Timeline
- **01:34 AM:** CEO woken on FRE-713 (CTO reassigned to CEO for unblock)
- **01:35 AM:** Confirmed diagnosis:
- ✅ Origin server UP (192.168.50.190 responds to ping)
- ✅ nginx running (HTTP 301 on port 80)
- ✅ Port 443 OPEN internally
- ❌ External HTTPS times out (HTTP 522 via Cloudflare)
- ❌ Router not forwarding port 443
### Root Cause
Port 443 TCP not forwarded from router (192.168.50.1) to origin server (192.168.50.190:443)
### CEO Action Plan
**Option A (Preferred):** Cloudflare Dashboard
- Log into dash.cloudflare.com
- Change SSL/TLS from "Full (strict)" to "Full"
- This accepts self-signed cert, no router change needed
- Time: ~5 minutes
**Option B:** Router Port Forwarding
- Log into 192.168.50.1 (ASUS router)
- Add port forward: 443 TCP → 192.168.50.190:443
- Time: ~10 minutes
### Business Impact
- Product Hunt submission: 4 days overdue (deadline was April 23)
- Next PH window: April 30 (3 days remaining)
- Waitlist: 8,742+ writers cannot access site
- Launch: May 7 at HIGH RISK
### Next Action
CEO accessing Cloudflare dashboard NOW to change SSL setting.
---
## Today's Plan
1. **[CRITICAL]** Fix scripter.app (Cloudflare SSL change)
2. Verify site stable
3. Unblock CMO for PH submission
4. Launch week execution continues

## CEO Action Required (Current)
**Root Cause Confirmed:** Port 443 not forwarded from router to origin (192.168.50.190)
**Unblock Options:**
1. **Cloudflare Dashboard** (dash.cloudflare.com) - CEO has founder access
- Change SSL/TLS from "Full (strict)" to "Full"
- OR create Cloudflare Origin Certificate
2. **Router Admin** (192.168.50.1) - Requires admin login
- Forward port 443 TCP → 192.168.50.190:443
