   - V6 correction: `revisions/tiktok-01-middle-title-centered-v6/` keeps the four matched generated living-room source pairs and SHL copy from V5, then centers the middle title sentence/group between the top brand line and lower supporting sentence. It includes `contact-sheet-v6.jpg` plus corrected silent/review masters.

Studio initially listed the posted item as `Only me`; privacy was corrected to `Everyone` at 2026-06-18 20:54 PDT.
   - V3 correction: removed visible `TikTok 2` title language and before/after positioning; reframed the asset as a Soft Haven living-room addition video.

3. Static batch: 8 Pinterest pins, 3 Instagram Story frames, and 14 Instagram carousel slides.
   - Pinterest files: `pins/pin-01-before-you-buy-more.png` through `pins/pin-08-edited-room-formula.png`.
   - Pin 5 revision: `revisions/pin-05-source-board-real-pillow-v3/pin-05-source-board-real-pillow-v3.png` supersedes `revisions/pin-05-source-board-pale-pillow-v2/pin-05-source-board-pale-pillow-v2.png` after Todd said the earlier pillow looked drawn and requested a real pale pillow staged nicely on the couch.
   - Pin 6 revision: `revisions/pin-06-decor-edit-overview-v2/pin-06-decor-edit-overview-v2.png` supersedes `pins/pin-06-decor-edit.png` after Todd requested a wider side/overview coffee-table view.
   - Pin 7 revision: `revisions/pin-07-evening-guide-content-v2/pin-07-evening-guide-content-v2.png` supersedes `pins/pin-07-evening-guide.png` after Todd requested guide content under the title.
   - Pin 8 decision: Todd skipped exact asset `pins/pin-08-edited-room-formula.png?v=194` at 2026-06-18 08:25 PDT, then confirmed skip/delete for the same exact asset at 2026-06-18 12:52 PDT. Do not publish unless a later approval supersedes it.
   - Pin 3 decision: Todd approved exact asset `pins/pin-03-room-feels-softer.png?v=194` for publish-now at 2026-06-18 12:31 PDT. Published to Pinterest at 2026-06-18 12:39 PDT as `The Room Feels Softer`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108474904/`. Used existing `Social` board because the in-account board picker only exposed Coastal Bedroom Ideas, Social, and Stuff to buy. No link, product tag, topic tag, DM, reply, paid spend, or affiliate/source-list action was added.
   - 2026-06-18 18:35-18:55 PDT posting update: Todd requested "Post all of day 18 now" in Telegram. Posted the approved Day 18 Pinterest assets to the existing `Social` board, excluding skipped Pin 8 and preserving Pin 3's earlier live URL:
     - Pin 1 `Before You Buy More`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491331/`
     - Pin 2 `Before/After Rule`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491389/`
     - Pin 3 `The Room Feels Softer`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108474904/`
     - Pin 4 `Collection Board`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491662/`
     - Pin 5 V3 `Living Room Source Board`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491695/`
     - Pin 6 V2 `Decor Edit`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491713/`
     - Pin 7 V2 `Evening Room Guide`: `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1116963145108491737/`
     No link, product tag, topic tag, DM, reply, paid spend, affiliate/source-list action, or destination URL was added.
   - Story files: `stories/story-01-room-reset.png`, `stories/story-02-softer-after.png`, `stories/story-03-room-poll.png`.
   - Story decision: Todd approved exact Story 1, Story 2, and Story 3 assets at 2026-06-18 08:25 PDT. Posted all three via Meta Business Suite at 2026-06-18 18:58 PDT after Todd's Telegram "Post all of day 18 now" instruction. Meta's story composer exposed the Soft Haven Living Facebook + Instagram pair as one combined destination. No product links, stickers, poll interaction, replies, DMs, paid spend, captions, or caption/sticker changes were added.
   - Carousel files: `carousel-room-reset/slide-01.png` through `slide-14.png`.
   - Carousel slide 10 revision: `revisions/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2.png` supersedes `carousel-room-reset/slide-10.png` after Todd requested the photo be panned out to show more staged items.
   - Carousel slide 10 V2 decision: Todd skipped exact asset `revisions/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2.png?v=202` at 2026-06-18 15:57 PDT, then skipped it again at 2026-06-18 20:38 PDT. Do not publish unless a later exact approval supersedes the skip.
   - Carousel slide 12 revision: `revisions/carousel-slide-12-pan-down-centered-v2/carousel-slide-12-pan-down-centered-v2.png` supersedes `carousel-room-reset/slide-12.png` after Todd requested the picture be panned down and centered to show all pieces.
   - Carousel decision: Todd approved original exact slides 1-6, 8-9, 11, 13, and 14 at 2026-06-18 08:26-08:28 PDT. Todd later skipped original exact slide 7 again at 2026-06-18 20:38 PDT and skipped original exact slide 8 at 2026-06-18 20:38 PDT; both stay excluded unless a later exact approval supersedes those skips. Original slide 10 was revised later and is excluded after the V2 skip. Original slide 12 was revised later and is not included in this approval set until Todd approves the corrected V2 asset.
   - CTA: save-first only; no source-link promise.
   - Timing intent: Pinterest natural queue across the day; Stories morning/midday/evening; carousel only if Todd explicitly approves the carousel.

## Latest Decisions

- 2026-06-18 15:53 PDT: Todd approved `shl-2026-06-18-tiktok-02-approval` with highlighted music candidate `Option 1 - Meant to Be - Rob Costlow`. Stage the exact V4 silent master in the natural TikTok queue only after exact in-account business/commercial sound verification.
- 2026-06-18 15:57 PDT: Todd skipped exact Carousel 10 V2 asset `revisions/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2.png?v=202`. This item is excluded from posting unless later exact approval supersedes it.
- 2026-06-18 15:57 PDT: Todd approved `shl-2026-06-18-static-approval`. Stage the approved static batch in natural windows, excluding skipped Pin 8, original carousel slide 7, original carousel slide 10, and Carousel 10 V2.
- 2026-06-18 15:48 PDT: Todd requested `shl-2026-06-18-tiktok-01-approval` center the title and wording at the top of each page. V5 is now the active approval-needed TikTok 1 master; the duplicate 15:49 PDT request is the same correction.
- 2026-06-18 18:20 PDT: Todd requested "Post all of day 18 now" in Telegram. Posted approved Day 18 Pinterest pins 1-7 except skipped Pin 8, and posted the three approved story frames through Meta Business Suite. Held TikTok 1 because V5 remained approval-needed, held Video 2 because the selected Jamendo review bed is not commercial-verified for public use and the final platform-native/business-safe sound has not been verified in the destination account, and held the Instagram carousel because the approved set is incomplete after skipped/superseded slides.
- 2026-06-18 20:19 PDT: Todd requested `shl-2026-06-18-tiktok-01-approval` center the middle sentence between the top and bottom title text. V6 became the fresh review master under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v15-video-01-middle-title-centered`; it was later approved at 20:34 PDT with `Option 3 - Prelude in E Major`.
- 2026-06-18 20:21-20:34 PDT: Todd approved exact carousel slide 7 and requested immediate carousel/video posting. Public posting was blocked: the approved carousel set is now 13 images after skipped slide 10, Meta Business Suite shows an Instagram 10-photo limit, and direct Instagram errored on the 13-image upload. Video 2 remains blocked because selected Jamendo track `Meant to Be - Rob Costlow` is tagged CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 and is not commercial verified. Do not post a shortened carousel or the Jamendo-audio video without a fresh approved posting path.
- 2026-06-18 20:34 PDT: Todd approved `shl-2026-06-18-tiktok-01-approval` V6 with highlighted music candidate `Option 3 - Prelude in E Major`. Stage the exact V6 silent master in the natural TikTok queue only after the exact sound is verified inside the Soft Haven Living TikTok/platform account as business/commercial-safe with no copyright-risk warning. Do not use unverified local Jamendo audio as final public audio.
- 2026-06-18 20:38 PDT: Todd skipped exact Carousel slide 7 `carousel-room-reset/slide-07.png?v=194`, exact Carousel slide 8 `carousel-room-reset/slide-08.png?v=194`, and exact Carousel slide 10 V2 `revisions/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2/carousel-slide-10-pan-out-v2.png?v=202`. Keep those exact items out of any carousel unless later exact approvals supersede the skips.
- 2026-06-18 20:53-20:54 PDT: Todd approved "Post now" for Video 2 with approved music. Posted the exact V4 silent master to TikTok from TikTok Studio with caption/CTA/hashtags unchanged, exact `Meant to Be - Rob Costlow` found and applied in the TikTok sound editor, TikTok copyright/content checks showing no issues, and privacy corrected from `Only me` to `Everyone`. Live URL: `https://www.tiktok.com/@softhavenlivin/video/7652949526184987917`. No product/source/affiliate links, product tags, DMs, replies, paid spend, or caption changes.
- 2026-06-18 21:05 PDT: Todd clarified by Telegram that he approved 10 carousel pictures and skipped/deleted 3. Posted the 10 approved pictures to Instagram only via Meta Business Suite: slides 1-6, 9, 11, corrected slide 12 V2, and 13. Excluded skipped/deleted slides 7, 8, and 10 V2; left the CTA card out to keep the post to the approved 10 pictures. Live URL: `https://www.instagram.com/p/DZwNwPsEsiA/`. Verified caption `Save this before your next decor scroll.` and carousel navigation through `img_index=10`. No Facebook destination, product/source/affiliate links, product tags, DMs, replies, paid spend, boost, location, or caption changes.

## QA Result

Pass for Mission Control review packet, with two posting guardrails:

- The existing review MP4 notes incorrectly name voiceover files as music. Mission Control should use silent video masters plus separate Jamendo music buttons for approval.
- No public post, schedule, reply, DM, source-list send, product URL, affiliate link, product tag, disclosure, Beacons edit, paid spend, caption change, music substitution, or poll/reply action is authorized until Todd approves the exact card.
- The earlier TikTok 1 approval was superseded by later Todd revision requests, but V6 received fresh approval at 2026-06-18 20:34 PDT with `Option 3 - Prelude in E Major`; do not publish it until exact in-platform business/commercial sound verification passes. TikTok 2 is posted live at `https://www.tiktok.com/@softhavenlivin/video/7652949526184987917`.
- 2026-06-18 13:55 PDT: TikTok 1 V3 was rebuilt under `revisions/tiktok-01-matched-room-pairs-v3/` after Todd rejected the v2 before/after sets for not using the same living room within each pair. V3 used four matched generated living-room/couch pairs, with clean before frames and the same photo compositions decorated in the after frames. V3 is now superseded by the V4 copy cleanup.
- 2026-06-18 14:41 PDT: TikTok 1 was rebuilt again as V4 after Todd confirmed the before/after pictures were good and asked to replace `Clean first decorate room after` / `Before: clean version. After: decorated` with cuter SHL-style copy. V4 keeps the matched V3 room pairs, uses `Same Room, Softer After` and `The Soft Haven Rule` title cards, and is requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v13-video-01-cute-shl-copy`; no staging or posting is authorized until Todd approves V4.
- 2026-06-18 14:03 PDT: Video 2 was rebuilt as `revisions/tiktok-02-living-room-addition-v3/soft-haven-living-room-addition-silent-v3.mp4` after Todd said to remove `TikTok 2` from the title and rename it because it is not a before/after video. V3 title is `Soft Haven Living Room Addition`, with living-room addition/layering copy and no visible before/after title framing. Requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v11-video-02-living-room-addition`; no staging or posting is authorized until Todd approves V3.
- 2026-06-18 14:24 PDT: Video 2 was rebuilt again as `revisions/tiktok-02-title-format-cleanup-v4/soft-haven-living-room-addition-title-cleanup-silent-v4.mp4` after Todd said the main titles were covering smaller print. V4 uses separated title/subtitle cards, fully covers stale V3 title text, removes lower-label before/after wording, and is requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v12-video-02-title-format-cleanup`; no staging or posting is authorized until Todd approves V4.
- 2026-06-18 08:22 PDT: Pin 5 was corrected with a visible pale pillow on the couch and requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v2-static-pin-05-pale-pillow`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 08:24 PDT: Pin 6 was corrected with a wider side/overview coffee-table photo and requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v3-static-pin-06-overview`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 08:24 PDT: Pin 7 was corrected with four guide steps below the title and requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v4-static-pin-07-guide-content`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 08:28 PDT: Carousel slide 12 was corrected with a lower, centered crop so the couch, coffee table, bowl, vase, rug, and side texture are visible, then requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v5-static-carousel-12-pan-down`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 08:50 PDT: Recorded exact item-level decisions from Todd's Mission Control taps. Staged Stories 1-3 and carousel slides 1-6, 8-9, 11, 13, and 14 for natural queue handling. Held/skipped Pin 8 and carousel slides 7 and 10. Carousel slide 12 V2 remains fresh-approval-needed because the approval tap applied to the original pre-revision slide 12 target.
- 2026-06-18 12:35 PDT: Carousel slide 10 was corrected with a pulled-back view so more staged sofa, pillow, coffee-table, candle, magazine, and rug elements are visible, then requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v8-static-carousel-10-pan-out`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 12:52 PDT: Pin 5 was corrected again with a real pale pillow staged naturally on the couch, replacing the earlier drawn-looking pillow, then requeued as approval-needed under review cycle `shl-2026-06-18-recovery-v9-static-pin-05-real-pillow`. No static asset is staged until Todd approves the corrected static card.
- 2026-06-18 12:52 PDT: Todd tapped Delete / Skip again for exact Pinterest Pin 8 asset `pins/pin-08-edited-room-formula.png?v=194`. Treat this as a confirming skip decision; Pin 8 remains excluded from posting/staging unless a later exact approval supersedes it.
