Approval update, 2026-06-16 07:02-07:04 PDT: Todd approved these exact Pinterest assets for natural queue staging:
- `pins/pin-01-coastal-finds-under-50.png` - title `Coastal Home Finds Under $50`

Do not add product URLs, destination links, affiliate/source-list links, product tags, paid spend, DMs, replies, disclosure language, caption/title changes, or source-list promises without separate Todd approval.

## Instagram Stories

1. `stories/story-01-coastal-finds.png` - hero frame
2. `stories/story-02-coffee-table-rule.png` - tip-card frame
3. `stories/story-03-finds-poll.png` - CTA/poll frame

Timing intent: morning, midday, early evening. Story poll/reply actions still require Todd approval before any public response.

Revision update, 2026-06-16 07:16 PDT: Todd tapped Revise twice on `stories/story-01-coastal-finds.png` without a note, then the next queued revision supplied the correction: `Title should change to "find that calm in a room"`. Story 1 was rebuilt at `revisions/story-01-coastal-finds-v2-no-note-requeue/story-01-coastal-finds-v2.png` with the visible title changed from `3 Finds That Calm a Room` to `Find That Calm in a Room`. Approval target: `shl-2026-06-16-story-01-coastal-finds-v2`. This clears the stale Revise highlight and requires a new explicit approval before any Story post/schedule/poll/reply action. Duplicate empty Revise events are handled by the same V2 cycle.

Approval update, 2026-06-16 07:08-07:12 PDT: Todd approved Story 2 and Story 3 for the natural Instagram Stories queue, and clarified to approve all static except revised Story 1. Stage `stories/story-02-coffee-table-rule.png` and `stories/story-03-finds-poll.png`.

Approval update, 2026-06-16 08:05 PDT: Todd approved exact target `shl-2026-06-16-story-01-coastal-finds-v2`. Stage `revisions/story-01-coastal-finds-v2-no-note-requeue/story-01-coastal-finds-v2.png` for the next natural Instagram Stories queue slot with visible title `Find That Calm in a Room`. Poll/reply actions still require separate Todd approval before any public response.

## Carousel Reserve

Folder: `carousel-01-coastal-finds/`  
Format: Instagram 4:5, 6 slides.  
Use if Day 16 is treated as a carousel day, or hold as reserve if Todd wants a lighter Tuesday packet.

Caption:
`Five small finds that make a living room feel calmer: warm wood, woven texture, one quiet blue, useful plus pretty, and enough breathing room. Save this before your next home scroll.`

Approval update, 2026-06-16 07:10-07:12 PDT: Todd approved the carousel cover/static batch for natural queue staging. Stage the complete `carousel-01-coastal-finds/` carousel in the next natural carousel/reserve slot using the exact caption above. Do not add source links, product tags, affiliate/source-list links, DMs, replies, paid spend, caption changes, or public account changes.

## Facebook Approval Update

Approval update, 2026-06-16 07:10 PDT: Todd approved `facebook/facebook-01-coastal-finds-question.png` for the natural Facebook Page queue. Stage it for a natural Facebook Page window using the exact caption in this packet. Do not add product URLs, affiliate/source-list links, product tags, paid spend, DMs, replies, or caption changes.

## Reddit Draft

File: `reddit/reddit-helpful-draft-01.md`  
Status: queued for Todd review only. No posting or thread targeting has been done.

## QA

- Overall 06:00 readiness: blocked/revise. The packet exists and most assets are platform-shaped, but active MCPA cards need correction before Todd approval.
- Brand/style: pass. Warm, calm, faceless except the excluded Pexels people image is not used in any generated asset.
- Visual fit: pass. All generated assets are living room, coffee table, shelf, basket, decor, or source-board relevant to product recommendation.
- Platform fit: revise. TikTok/Reel/Short masters are 1080x1920 H.264 timed-slide videos with motion. Stories are 1080x1920. Pinterest pins are 1000x1500. Carousel is 1080x1350. QA flagged overlapping video text that must be rebuilt before approval.
- Music/audio: revise. Jamendo MP3s are present with metadata for preview only, but active MCPA options still place voiceover inside the music picker and include a lo-fi lane that conflicts with `music-guide.md`.
- Pinterest layout usage: pass. Batch includes Collection Board, Source Board, Decor Edit Board, and Evening Gift Guide Board support.
- Caption/CTA safety: revise on card completeness. Save-first CTAs are present in the package, but the static MCPA card must show caption/title, CTA/search terms, timing intent, approval scope, and guardrails directly.
- Source-list readiness: hold. Product/source links are not included and must not go public until Todd approves source-list copy and link path.
- Approval scope: approval authorizes only the exact assets/copy/guardrails in this packet. Public posting and platform-native audio verification remain separate execution steps after approval.

## Day 16 Approval Status

2026-06-16 13:29 PDT: all Day 16 media items are approved/staged for today's natural posting schedule. TikTok 1 uses the later-approved `Option 2 - Takes Forever - Subyub Lee`; TikTok 2 uses the later-approved `Option 3 - Love on the Weekend - Aria Ohlsson`. Before TikTok public posting, verify each exact sound inside the Soft Haven Living TikTok account is approved for business/commercial use and shows no copyright-risk warning. Static media, Story 1 V2, Story 2, Story 3, Facebook, and carousel remain staged under the no-link/no-affiliate/no-DM/no-reply/no-paid-spend guardrails listed above.

2026-06-16 13:40 PDT posting update: TikTok 1 posted live through TikTok Studio as @softhavenlivin at `https://www.tiktok.com/@softhavenlivin/video/7652095304531021070`. TikTok Studio found the exact approved `Takes Forever - Subyub Lee` sound, and music copyright check plus content check showed no issues before publishing. Privacy was changed from `Only me` to `Everyone` after the post appeared in Studio. TikTok 2 remains staged for the natural 4-6-hour-later TikTok Video 2 window with `Option 3 - Love on the Weekend - Aria Ohlsson`, still requiring exact in-account verification and no copyright-risk warning before posting. No product links, affiliate/source-list links, tags, replies, DMs, paid spend, or caption/CTA changes were added.

2026-06-16 13:43 PDT schedule update: created isolated posting jobs for the rest of today's natural schedule: Pinterest Pins 1/2/4 at 14:15 PT, Meta/Instagram Stories/Facebook/Reel/carousel pass at 17:45 PT, TikTok 2 plus YouTube Short pass at 18:30 PT, and Pinterest Pins 5/6/10 at 20:15 PT. Each job is constrained to the approved assets/copy above, must keep all no-link/no-affiliate/no-DM/no-reply/no-paid-spend guardrails, and must log live URLs or exact blockers.

2026-06-16 14:34 PDT posting update: Pinterest afternoon batch posted live through the Soft Haven Living Pinterest account using only approved Pins 1, 2, and 4, with destination/product/source/affiliate links left blank, no product tags, no DMs/replies, no paid spend, and no copy changes. Pinterest required an account board, but the tracker target boards (`Coastal Grandmother Decor`, `Coastal Living Room Ideas`, `Neutral Home Decor`) were not visible in the account picker; the only available boards were `Coastal Bedroom Ideas`, `Social`, and `Stuff to buy`, so the batch was published to existing board `Social` without creating a new public board.
