# Day 121 / September 29 Approval Package

Publish date: 2026-09-29
Lane: Coastal Ralph Lauren Edit

## Visual Direction

Tailored navy, crisp white upholstery, wicker/rattan, warm wood, aged brass, blue-white porcelain, pale hydrangeas, coastal art, and ivory texture. This packet intentionally shifts away from the assigned kitchen lane because September 28 already used kitchen/breakfast-counter content inside the 7-day diversity window.

## Guardrails

No posting, scheduling, links, product tags, affiliate/source-list links, replies, DMs, paid spend, caption changes, public account action, music substitution, or Meta route action without exact Todd approval.

## 2026-09-28 14:08 PT Cache Repair

The 14:00 watchdog found active approval-route drift: `sw.js` was `mission-control-mobile-v2549`, while `approve.html` and Day 121 media links still used `?v=2548`. The active MCPA route, media links, card fragment, night brief, and production-status mirrors were aligned to `mission-control-mobile-v2549`.

Verification passed after repair: MCPA approval QA, SHL approval-ready verifier, next-day approval deadline audit, live `approve.html?v=2549`, live `sw.js?v=2549`, representative video/music/pin assets, Day 120 TikTok, and Day 120 manual handoff. Todd was notified via Telegram message `8547`. No public post, schedule, upload, link, tag, reply, DM, paid action, account change, future-dated execution, or media/copy/music substitution occurred.

## 2026-09-28 20:30 PT Recovery Blocker

Current status: `blocked-recovery-active`. Live MCPA reachability still passes at `mission-control-mobile-v2555`, but the current posting-manifest/deadline verifier blocks this packet because it now requires at least 8 Pinterest/static items, at least 2 multi-image Pinterest/static items, and at least 5 distinct photos/frames in the video. This packet currently has 4 static pins, 0 multi-image static items, and a 1-source/frame video. Do not call Day 121 fully approval-ready or publish-ready until the packet is expanded/rebuilt or the verifier gate is corrected and rerun.

## 2026-09-29 07:00 PT Todd Approval

Todd approved the exact Day 121 video and static batch in MCPA. The video approval selected Option 6 - smile for me alice spence. The approved final upload file is `ops/soft-haven-living/brand/approved-media/2026-09-29-nightly-production/final-posting/2026-09-29-tiktok-01-ralph-lauren-living-room-formula-epidemic-es-smile-for-me-alice-spence-upload.mp4`.

Todd also clarified the forward rule: from Day 122 / September 30 production forward, every SHL video must include at least 5 different scenes/pictures under the same titled genre. Day 121 is approved as-is; do not use it as precedent for future one-picture videos.
