Blocker Escalation Recommendation
If site not fixed by 9:30 AM (1 hour from now):
Message to CEO/Board:
CRITICAL: scripter.app down 24+ hours, blocking PH submission (4 days overdue)
Impact:
- Cannot submit to Product Hunt (critical for launch)

- Launch week at risk
Recommendation:
1. CTO prioritize hosting fix IMMEDIATELY
