After users pick their persona (role), they now land on a new Brand
step that collects the same fields available in Settings → Workspace
→ Brand: website, description, tone, voice notes, and content
language. When they continue, every AI-generated post for this
workspace already has sensible defaults — before the user's first
post is ever drafted.
Flow:
Role (persona) → Brand (new) → Connections → Subscription → Completed.
A 'Skip for now' button on the brand step advances to Connections
without touching the workspace (defaults stay at their seed values).
Backend:
- Setup enum gets a new Brand case slotted between Role and
Connections with matching stepNumber updates.
- OnboardingController::brand() renders the form pre-filled from the
current workspace. storeBrand() validates via a new
StoreBrandRequest form request and writes the fields onto the
workspace, then advances setup. skipBrand() just advances.
- storeRole() redirects to brand instead of account. enforceStep()
knows how to redirect users whose setup is Brand.
- Three new routes: GET /onboarding/brand, POST /onboarding/brand,
POST /onboarding/brand/skip.
Frontend:
- New Brand.vue page mirrors the Settings brand form but inside the
onboarding AuthLayout. Tone + language sit side by side, both
selects take full width. Translations added to en, pt-BR, and es.
- Wayfinder regenerated so the page can import storeBrand / skipBrand.
Tests:
- Renamed 'redirects to step2' → 'redirects to brand step' and
assert new setup.
- Added six new tests covering brand step auth, redirects, render,
successful store, validation of tone and content_language, and
skip.
- Updated UserSetupTest for the new enum case + reshuffled step
numbers.
- Sidebar reorganized: Workspace group (connections, hashtags, labels,
API keys, settings) and Account group (settings, usage, billing)
- Account group only visible to owner and hidden in self-hosted mode
- Onboarding simplified: role -> account (connect socials) -> completed
-> redirect to /subscribe. Removed Subscription setup step.
- Subscribe page redesigned with 4 plan cards, monthly/yearly toggle,
trial info, and per-plan features list
- Billing page redesigned following Sendkit layout (sections with
sidebar labels)
- Processing page uses usePoll with immediate watch for subscription
activation
- Cancel URL redirects directly to /subscribe
- Account settings page with name and billing_email (syncs with Stripe)
- Usage page with ring meters for all plan limits
- Settings layout tabs only for user pages (profile, password,
notifications). Workspace/API keys/billing are standalone pages.
- GoogleAuthButton extracted as reusable component
- WorkspaceRole TypeScript enum for type-safe role checks in frontend
- Trial period changed to 7 days
- Fixed onboarding loop when user confirms email
- All 1101 tests passing
- Create Account model as Cashier Billable entity (stripe, plan, subscription)
- Account owns workspaces and has an owner_id (User)
- User belongs to one Account via account_id
- Workspace belongs to Account via account_id, no longer has billing fields
- Remove Brand model entirely (workspaces serve as grouping)
- Rename brand_limit to workspace_limit in plans
- Workspace roles simplified: admin/member/viewer (owner via Account)
- Invites now belong to Account with workspaces JSON array
- Pennant features scope changed from Workspace to Account
- EnsureSubscribed middleware checks Account subscription
- All controllers updated: BillingController, OnboardingController,
WorkspaceInviteController, SocialController, StripeEventListener
- Frontend: extract GoogleAuthButton component, create WorkspaceRole
enum for type-safe role checks, fix all views for new architecture
- All 1101 tests passing
- Refactor WorkspacePolicy to use pivot role instead of workspace.user_id
- Add manageBilling policy (owner only) to BillingController
- Fix ApiKeyController authorization (view → manageTeam for store/destroy)
- Fix WorkspaceInviteController using workspace.user_id for owner checks

Critical:
- Fix EnsureUserSetupIsComplete middleware route name prefixes and
redirect Subscription step to subscribe page (not onboarding)
- Fix MCP session pollution: Auth::setUser() instead of Auth::login()
- Remove dead BillingController::addWorkspace/removeWorkspace methods
- Remove broken Workspace::pendingInvites() method
Security (IDOR):
- MediaController: add workspace ownership verification on all endpoints
- UpdatePostRequest: scope label_ids validation to current workspace
- UpdatePostRequest: scope platform IDs validation to current post
Security (other):
- Fix open redirect in login and registration (validate internal URLs)
- Add validation to API PostController store/update (was $request->all())
- Prevent Owner role assignment via updateRole endpoint
- Fix API post author attribution to use workspace owner
Authorization:
- PostController: use createPost policy instead of view for store/update/destroy
Logic:
- Post Status enum labels now use translation system instead of hardcoded Portuguese
- Workspace deletion cleans up current_workspace_id for all affected members
- StoreWorkspaceInviteRequest: replace Portuguese validation messages with __()
Rename onboarding:
- Step1.vue -> Role.vue, Step2.vue -> Connect.vue
- Controller methods: step1->role, storeStep1->storeRole, step2->connect, storeStep2->storeConnect
All 728 tests passing.
Auth pages:
- Create AuthSplitLayout with animated feature slides (6 slides, 3 languages)

Subscribe page:
- Redesign to match auth card pattern (centered, clean)
