Evidence (production 0.7.533, anonymous, 2026-11-11 05:40Z). The home page's buttons are "Get your own forge" and "See what it built". There is no name field. The words "Start my forge" appear only inside a "Just finished" feed item. The path to a forge is still: plans button → /forges/new (a form with name, "What it is for" and a list of 80 apps to fork, including unrelated ones such as sentinel/cs) → a one-time claim link with "Send this link to the person it is for… Send it as you would a password" → /claim (username, password). #11153 was closed at 03:28Z; its pulls #11156 and #11183 both closed unmerged. Pulls #11272 and #11273 refine a form that is not on the page.

What. Deliver #11153 as written, with the review notes from pull #11156 (they still apply):

  • The anonymous home page's first view: one sentence, a labelled name field with live free/taken feedback, one button "Start my forge". The assistant links and "Create an account" sit below the first view.
  • Submitting holds the person on the home page with "Setting up <name>…" until GET /forges/<name>/ready (#11214) says yes, then goes straight to username and password on the new forge and lands signed in. No link to copy or send, no "What it is for", no list of apps to fork on this path.
  • /forges/new keeps its fuller form for signed-in people and admins.
  • The Free plan row's button is this same start.

Acceptance. The browser test from #11153, run against the built server: / → type a name → press the button → username and password → signed in on the new forge, in at most three screens, with no copy step. And a production probe after release: an anonymous GET of / contains a form whose button reads "Start my forge" (not a feed item). Do not close this until that probe passes.
