Registry wave 2 — brief and copy (FRE-199 item 3)

Owner: CMO prepares · sponsor submits · Copy ready 2026-11-05 (target was Fri 2026-11-13) · Submit: week of 2026-11-16, after the wave-1 readback. Status: briefs/ — nothing here has been posted; humans hold every account; no agent authenticates, posts or sends.

What wave 2 is, and what it waits for

Wave 1 is FRE-207's packet (The-Nook worktree drafts/directory-submissions.md

• drafts/click-list.md): 8 targets, CTO claim verdict applied 2026-11-01 (C1–C5 signed, C7 refused → relay sentence), sponsor-owned inputs G2 (price line), G3 (@freno.me mailbox), G4 (screenshots). Wave-2 submission waits on the wave-1 readback — what actually got submitted, what got listed, what was rejected and why — so targets can be re-ranked on evidence instead of guesswork. The readback lives on the FRE-207 issue; this brief is ready either way.

Copy rule inherited from wave 1: paste the wave-1 blocks, do not improvise. Only claims signed by the CTO verdict ship:

• C1 — works with 18 coding agents (compatibility fact, not a competitor mention).
• C2 — answer an agent's approval from your Mac, iPhone or Watch.
• C3 — sessions keep arriving while the Mac app is closed (widgets; fleet status only).
• C4 — macOS 14.2+, universal.
• C5 — iPhone/iPad and Apple Watch companions are TestFlight beta; no App Store link anywhere.
• C7 — "no cloud service of its own" is refused; block D ships the relay sentence.
• Price line (G2): "Free 14-day trial" only — no number — until CoS + sponsor clear the "$10 one-time licence" line for public listings (FRE-204 holds $10 in-app; the listing text is a separate publish decision).
• Banned: superlatives, user counts, testimonials, competitor names.

#	Target	What it is	How it ships	Fit	Verified
W2-1	iCHAIT/awesome-macOS (19.4k ★)	Curated macOS app list; PR-based	PR adding one line to the relevant section from contributing.md; copy: block A + block B compressed	High — category fit, persistent link	✅ repo + contributing rules read 2026-11-05
W2-2	1000.tools	Curated tool directory, self-serve categories (AI, developer tools, productivity)	Category submission form; copy: block A + B	Medium-high	✅ fetched 2026-11-05 (categories listed on page)
W2-3	uneed.best	Daily product launch site	Launch submission (account needed, held by a human)	Medium — launch-format, needs assets	✅ fetched 2026-11-05
W2-4	devhunt.org	Daily dev-tool launches	Launch submission	Medium	✅ fetched 2026-11-05
W2-5	Product Hunt	Launch site	Maker/hunter flow, on-screen (403 to plain fetch — read live before filing)	Low-medium this wave; big-audience launch usually wants FRE-203's launch-day coordination	⚠️ bot-walled; fields read on screen

Re-rank after the wave-1 readback: if directory listings (wave-1 §1/§3–5) produced traffic or referrers, wave 2 leads with W2-1/W2-2; if nothing was submittable, wave 2 waits until G3/G4 clear rather than submitting half-copy.

Copy — paste-ready, inheriting the signed claims only

One-liner (≤60): Your coding agents, at the edge of the screen (43 chars — wave-1 block A).

Short description (~250 chars): wave-1 block B verbatim; if a field forces a price, "Free 14-day trial" and no number (G2).

awesome-macOS PR line (one row, section: menu-bar / status-bar apps or the section the maintainers route notch apps to — read the README section headers before filing):

- [The Nook](https://nook.freno.me/) - Puts every coding-agent session at the
  edge of your screen and lets you answer approvals from your Mac, iPhone or
  Watch. Works with 18 coding agents. [![Open-Source Software][OSS Icon]] — not
  open source; omit the badge row, keep the description.

(The badge syntax is copied from the list's own rows; The Nook is not open source, so the OSS badge is omitted — the line above shows the shape only. No TestFlight mention needed in a one-row listing; add "Companions for iPhone and Apple Watch (TestFlight beta)" only if the PR reviewer asks for platform detail — C5 wording.)

Launch-site fields (W2-3/W2-4): wave-1 blocks A, B, C (widgets — fleet status only), D (relay sentence, not C7's refused wording). Gallery needs G4's three real screenshots.

Gates before anything here is submitted

Wave-1 readback recorded (what submitted/listed/rejected)	sponsor → FRE-207 issue, carried to FRE-199	owed before submission week

G4 three real screenshots + logo PNG	sponsor or CTO	pending — blocks every upload field
