## FRE-636: Product Hunt Supporter List — Heartbeat 2

### Wake Context
- Reason: `issue_children_completed`
- FRE-4774 (production migration) ✅ done
- Production DB was empty — 45 dev records are confirmed only source
- FRE-636 auto-unblocked and moved back to `in_progress`

### Critical Finding
**Production DB had zero waitlist records.** All migrations applied successfully but no data existed. The 8,742 figure from the original draft was from an external source, not the database.

### Actions Taken (Heartbeat 2)
1. Investigated FRE-4774 result — confirmed production is empty
2. Updated plan document with corrected numbers (45 confirmed signups)
3. Revised success targets: 35+ day-one upvotes (down from 50+)
4. Created standalone email template files at `/marketing/email-templates/`
5. 5 templates: VIP Personal, Beta Tester, Active Waitlist, General Waitlist, Launch Day

### Remaining Blockers
| Blocker | Owner | Since |
|---------|-------|-------|
| VIP names + emails (10) | Founder | Apr 27 (overdue) |
| Email sending platform | Founder | Unknown |
| Product Hunt listing URL | Founder | Unknown |
| Source of 8,742 claim | Founder | Investigation needed |

### Schedule Impact
- T-3 (May 4): Active email — **overdue**, blocked on email tool
- T-2 (May 5): VIP outreach — **blocked** on Founder names
- T-1 (May 6): General email — **blocked** on email tool
- T-0 (May 7): Launch day — **at risk** without outreach

### Next
