Subject: [PATCH 1/4] design: thank-you-confirmation - Rebuild the thank-you
 pattern as a reusable confirmation section (LSA-198)

Pattern
- Rename thank-you-consultation to sections/thank-you-confirmation
- Replace the consultation-specific copy with neutral placeholder copy
- Add a sibling-style header with the group fallback note and keywords
- Wrap the page in the standard full-width section with spacing tokens

Layout
- Centre the hero, next-steps card and cards row in one 900px column
- Keep the breadcrumb left-aligned at wide width
- Keep the tick list left-aligned inside the card

Blocks
- Use the Yoast breadcrumb block behind a function_exists check
- Use the core Icon block with lightspeed icons for the badge and cards
- Use a core Button for the homepage link
- Use Card - Plain with the Tick Accent list for the next steps
- Use Card - Service Tile for the three "While you wait" links

Bug fix
- Remove the core/separator that showed "Block contains unexpected or invalid content"
- Draw the divider as a top border on the group instead

Cleanup
- Remove the unused ls-thank-you* classes
- Use the status.success token, which has its own light and dark values
- Add no new SCSS or JSON

Reports
- Add the 2026-10-23 DEV vs LIVE launch-readiness audit
- Add the 2026-10-23 pre-launch to-do list

+# DEV vs LIVE launch-readiness audit
+
+Date: 2026-10-23. Read-only audit. LIVE: lightspeedwp.agency. DEV: ls-agency.lightspeedwp.dev. Nothing was edited on either site.
+
+## Summary
+
+- LIVE has 69 published pages, 151 published posts, 19 published projects.
+- **Posts:** all 151 present on DEV at identical URLs.
+- **Pages:** 65 of 69 resolve on DEV (one via a 301). **4 do not (404).**
+- **Projects:** all 19 resolve via 301 from `/portfolio/<slug>/` to `/work/<slug>/`. The `/portfolio/` archive itself 404s.
+- **Redesign status of the 65 resolving pages:** 16 redesigned clean, 9 redesigned with defects, **40 still old, broken or blank.**
+
+## Blockers: LIVE URLs that 404 on DEV
+
+| LIVE URL | DEV state |
+|---|---|
+| /briefing/request-a-quote/ | DEV page 45865 exists but is DRAFT |
+| /client-intake-form/ | DEV page 38058 exists but is DRAFT (its published child /client-intake-form/thank-you/ works) |
+| /free-woo-consultation/ | DEV page 51498 exists but is DRAFT, no content |
+| /briefing/about-page-content/ | DEV page 46015 exists but slug is `about-us-page` (no redirect) |
+| /portfolio/ (projects archive) | DEV equivalent is /work/; no redirect from /portfolio/ |
+
+Handled by redirect already: /solutions/hosting/ → /services/hosting/ and all 19 /portfolio/<slug>/ → /work/<slug>/.
+
+Taxonomy archives on LIVE sitemap that 404 on DEV (low priority): /portfolio-group/elearning/, 5 × /project-type/*, /project-tag/branding/, /project-tag/content-management/, /project-tag/featued/. Post tags (24) and authors (3) all resolve.
+
+## Pages that still need the redesign (old, broken or blank)
+
+| LIVE path | Status | Note |
+|---|---|---|
+| /briefing/woo/ | BROKEN | Form text dark-on-black, unreadable |
+| /briefing/wordpress/ | OLD | Unstyled Gravity form |

+| /mailpoet-re-engangement-page/ | OLD | Legacy layout |
+| /mailpoet-unsubscribe-confirmation/ | BROKEN | Raw [mailpoet_page] shortcode text visible; unreadable button |
+| /mailpoet-unsubscribe-success-page/ | OLD | Legacy layout |
+| /policies/ | OLD | Plain text |
+| /policies/corrections/ | OLD | Plain text |

+| /policies/ownership-funding/ | OLD | Plain text |
+| /policies/publishing-principles/ | OLD | Plain text |
+| /referrals/ | BROKEN | Overlapping buttons/logo strip, unstyled form |
+| /referrals/thank-you/ | OLD | Legacy thank-you layout |
+| /services/content/audit/ | BROKEN | Overlapping CTA/logo strip, unreadable button |
+| /services/content/collection/ | OLD | Legacy layout, dark-on-dark button |
+| /services/content/strategy/ | OLD | Legacy layout, empty white band |
+| /solutions/lsx/ | BROKEN | Unreadable "Key Features" text; "Couldn't load plugin" PDF embed |
+| /team/ | OLD | Old team page; titles differ from new /about/team/ |
+| /testimonials/ | BROKEN | Testimonial cards are blank white boxes (no quotes/images) |
+| /thank-you-content-audit-post/ | OLD | Legacy thank-you layout |
+| /thank-you-for-subscribing/ | OLD | Legacy thank-you layout |

+| /why/ | BLANK | Title + one image only |
+| /why/lightspeed/ | OLD | Legacy layout |
+| /why/lsx/ | BROKEN | Overlapping cards, lorem ipsum in LSX Tour Operators card |
+| /why/mailchimp/ | BROKEN | Page titled Mailchimp shows Mailpoet content; invisible logo |
+| /why/tour-operator/ | OLD | Content is actually WooCommerce copy |
+| /why/woo/ | OLD | Legacy layout |
+| /why/wp/ | BROKEN | Sparse, overlapping buttons |
+
+Notes on likely replacements (inferred, please confirm): `/policies/*` probably maps to the blank new pages under `/about/` (privacy-and-terms, diversity, publishing-principles-ai-ethics); `/team/` to `/about/team/`; `/solutions/lsx/` to `/lsx/` (currently blank "being rebuilt"); `/why/*` is unclear. If these are meant to be replaced, they need redirects as well as content.
+
+## Redesigned pages with defects to fix
+
+| Path | Defect (from visual review) |
+|---|---|
+| /blog/ | Stat cards ("18/12/24") look like placeholder data |
+| /contact/ | FAQ is about design systems (wrong topic); Email field split into two inputs |
+| /services/ | Hero colour-swatch panel (hex codes) looks like leftover design-doc content |
+| /services/content/ | ~100px empty gap before FAQ; no case study |
+| /services/email-marketing/ | Blank dark band before FAQ (empty case-study slot?) |
+| /services/security/ | Large empty band before FAQ |
+| /services/support/ | Case-study block labelled "Discovery in practice" (wrong copy) |
+| /services/training/ | Blank dark band after "What you receive"; "See training in practice" link has no target |
+| /solutions/ | 7th card (AI Chatbots) orphaned |
+
+## Redesigned and clean
+
+/, /about/, /about/culture/, /about/history/, /about/process/, /free-consultation/, /privacy-policy/, /services/design/, /services/development/, /services/discovery/, /services/migrations/, /solutions/hosting/, /solutions/tour-operators/, /solutions/woocommerce/, /solutions/wordpress/, /terms-conditions/
+
+## DEV-only pages that are published but blank (title only)
+
+These do not exist on LIVE, but they would go live empty: /faq/, /faq-2/ (duplicate), /pricing/ and 5 children (foundation, growth, enterprise, how-we-price-work, pricing-principles), /guarantees/, /systems/ and 3 children, /solutions/ai-readiness/, /about/ai-governance/, /about/community-events/, /about/diversity/, /about/publishing-principles-ai-ethics/, /about/privacy-and-terms/, /book-a-call/, /services-landing/, /woocommerce-redesign/, /wordpress-redesign/, /woocommerce-solutions/, /tour-operators-solutions/, and /lsx/ + 2 children ("being rebuilt"). 29 pages in total. Also /briefing/ and /briefing/about-us-page/ are old content.
+
+Draft-only on LIVE (not blockers): 9 pages, including 6 Mailchimp pages and a Website Briefing page.
+
+## Method and limits
+
+- Page and post lists from both MCPs plus LIVE Yoast sitemaps; every LIVE URL requested on DEV (GET only).
+- Content state from rendered HTML (overlap of LIVE text on DEV), theme `ls-` classes, and a read-only DB query on DEV.
+- Visual review: 179 full-page screenshot segments at 1280px, reviewed by four sub-agents. Their defect notes are observations from screenshots; spot-check before acting.
+- Popups: LIVE has 2, DEV has 3 (not public URLs, not compared). Server-level redirects were inferred from HTTP responses only.

+# Pre-launch to-do (DEV vs LIVE)
+
+Date: 2026-10-23. Based on the DEV/LIVE audit and the decisions made in chat. Items marked CONFIRM are my defaults and need a yes/no.
+
+## 1. Redirects to set up (no page build needed)
+| From (LIVE URL) | To | Note |
+|---|---|---|
+| /portfolio/ | /work/ | Individual /portfolio/<slug>/ projects already redirect |
+| /briefing/request-a-quote/ | /free-consultation/ | Form 3 is retired; brief popup replaces it |
+| /client-intake-form/ | /free-consultation/ | Same as above |
+| /client-intake-form/thank-you/ | /free-consultation/thank-you/ | Only used by retired form 3 |
+| /free-woo-consultation/ | /free-consultation/ | Same consultation form (form 4) |
+| /briefing/woo/ | /briefing/wordpress/ | Woo marketing copy retired |
+| /briefing/about-page-content/ | /briefing/about-us-page/ | Slug changed on DEV (CONFIRM page still needed) |
+| /team/ | /about/team/ | New team page is built |
+| /why/lightspeed/ and /why/ | /about/ | Also update the footer link |
+| /why/wp/ | /solutions/wordpress/ | |
+| /why/woo/ | /solutions/woocommerce/ | |
+| /why/tour-operator/ | /solutions/tour-operators/ | LIVE page is a copy of the Woo page |
+| /why/lsx/ | /solutions/design-systems/ | CONFIRM |
+| /why/mailchimp/ | /services/email-marketing/ | |
+| /policies/diversity-content/, /policies/diversity-staffing/ | /about/ | Diversity page dropped for launch (CONFIRM) |
+| /policies/, /policies/publishing-principles/, /ethics/, /corrections/, /feedback/, /ownership-funding/ | /about/publishing-principles-ai-ethics/ | Needs that page filled (CONFIRM mapping) |
+| /solutions/lsx/ | /solutions/design-systems/ or /lsx/ | /lsx/ is blank today (CONFIRM) |
+
+## 2. Pages to redesign before launch (17)
+- Thank-you: /contact/thank-you/, /free-consultation/thank-you/, /thank-you-content-audit-post/, /thank-you-newsletter-subscribe/, /referrals/thank-you/
+- MailPoet: /mailpoet-manage-your-subscription/, /mailpoet-unsubscribe-confirmation/ (raw shortcode visible), /mailpoet-unsubscribe-success-page/, /thank-you-for-subscribing/
+- Content and utility: /testimonials/, /getting-started-with-lightspeed/, /client-feedback/, /website-development-project-terms-conditions/, /briefing/wordpress/
+- Kept by decision: /website-packages/ (broken, no text), /referrals/ (live form 5), /services/content/collection/
+
+## 3. Fix defects on redesigned pages (9)
+- /services/support/: case-study block labelled "Discovery in practice"
+- /services/email-marketing/, /services/security/, /services/training/: empty band before FAQ; training "See training in practice" link has no target
+- /services/content/: empty gap before FAQ
+- /contact/: FAQ about design systems; Email field split in two
+- /solutions/: 7th card orphaned
+- /services/: leftover colour-swatch panel in hero
+- /blog/: stat cards look like placeholder numbers
+
+## 4. Unpublish and clean up navigation
+- Unpublish: /pricing/, /pricing/foundation/, /growth/, /enterprise/, /how-we-price-work/, /pricing-principles/, and /guarantees/ (CONFIRM it counts as pricing); /about/diversity/
+- Remove the Pricing mega menu and the Diversity link from the header and footer, or they will 404
+- Website packages sits inside the Pricing mega menu: give it a new menu home; /contact/ and /free-consultation/ also link to it
+
+## 5. Other blank DEV-only pages that are published
+Not on LIVE, publicly reachable and empty: /faq/, /faq-2/, /book-a-call/, /services-landing/, /woocommerce-redesign/, /wordpress-redesign/, /woocommerce-solutions/, /tour-operators-solutions/, /systems/ (+3 children), /solutions/ai-readiness/, /about/ai-governance/, /about/community-events/, /about/privacy-and-terms/, /lsx/ (+2 children). Unpublish or fill before launch.
+
+## 6. After launch (not blockers)
+- /wcct-sticker-competition/ (kept in the build, restyle later)
+- /mailpoet-re-engangement-page/
+- Taxonomy archives that 404 on DEV (project-type, project-tag, portfolio-group)

+/**
+ * Title: Section - Thank You Confirmation
+ * Slug: ls-theme/thank-you-confirmation
+ * Categories: featured
+ * Block Types: core/pattern
+ * Description: A reusable form-confirmation section for every thank-you page, written with neutral placeholder copy to overwrite per page: Yoast breadcrumb, a success status badge (check icon and label), H1, a lead paragraph, a primary home button, a "what happens next" card with a tick list (add or remove items freely), and a "while you wait" row of three whole-card links to the About pages below a top border. Delete the card or the row on pages that do not need them, and insert the page-specific blocks (for example the audit downloads or MailPoet output) between the sections. Insert it as blocks rather than by slug so each page's copy stays editable. Falls back to core/group because no semantic core block renders a card, and uses the Card - Plain and Card - Service Tile styles plus the Tick Accent list style. The success colour reads the status.success token, which has its own light and dark values. No new SCSS.
+ * Keywords: thank you, confirmation, success, form, next steps, cards, section
+ * Viewport Width: 1280
+ * Inserter: true

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] fix: tick-accent - Align the tick to the first line of
 wrapped list items (LSA-198)

Bug fix
- Align the tick to the first text line instead of the vertical middle
- Stop the tick floating beside the gap when an item wraps to two lines

Change
- Set align-items to first baseline on the Tick Accent list item grid
- Leave single-line items looking the same as before
- Add no new SCSS

Impact
- Applies to every Tick Accent list: the thank-you confirmation pattern,
  work-discuss-project-list and section-card-services

+## [Unreleased] — Rebuild the thank-you pattern as a reusable confirmation section (LSA-198)
+
+### Added
+
+- `patterns/sections/thank-you-confirmation.php` (Section - Thank You Confirmation): one reusable confirmation section for every thank-you page, with neutral copy to overwrite per page. It has a Yoast breadcrumb, a success status badge, an H1, a lead paragraph and a home button, a "What happens next" card with a tick list, and a "While you wait" row of three whole-card links below a top border. The hero, the card and the cards row sit in one centred 900px column.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The success colour reads the `status.success` token, which has its own light and dark values. The card, list and button reuse the existing Card - Plain, Card - Service Tile and Tick Accent styles and the core Button, with no new SCSS.
+- `styles/blocks/lists/tick-accent.json`: the tick now stays on the first line of a list item that wraps (`align-items: first baseline`), instead of sitting in the middle. This also applies to `work-discuss-project-list` and `section-card-services`.
+- `.github/reports/`: added the 2026-10-23 DEV vs LIVE launch-readiness audit and the pre-launch to-do list.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `patterns/thank-you-consultation.php`: replaced by the new pattern. It had a hardcoded "Free consultation" breadcrumb, consultation-only copy, unused `ls-thank-you*` classes and a `core/separator` that the editor flagged as invalid content.
+
+([#159](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/ls-theme/pull/159))

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] docs: reports - Address the CodeRabbit review on the
 launch reports (LSA-198)

Audit report
- Correct the blank-page total from 29 to 28 to match the 28 paths listed
- End the file with a single newline

Pre-launch to-do
- Use the full /policies/ paths for ethics, corrections, feedback and ownership-funding
- Add blank lines around the section headings and tables

Not changed
- Keep columnCount on the thank-you cards grid
- It collapses to one column at 375px and three at 768px on WordPress 7.1.3
