Reviewer round 3 (9/7/9/8/7/9) caught the sharpest truth bug yet: the
README quickstart's bare 'bdrive login' defaults to beardrive.ai, which
is waitlist-only and not accepting logins — a launch-day visitor's
first command would fail silently. Fixes:
- quickstart step 1 now routes to self-hosting ('bdrive login
https://your-hub', ~10-minute guide linked) with Cloud honestly
framed as waitlist; website closer promises 'Self-host in one
binary' instead of 'under a minute, done'
- handoff gains a P0 gate: verify the FULL first run (login → init →
edit → log) against a working hub before any launch; bare 'bdrive
login' must not be advertised until Cloud accepts logins
- handoff: seed 3-5 good-first-issues (CONTRIBUTING promises them);
replace the mailto waitlist with a real form before Product Hunt
- README trimmed 583→524 lines: the Authentication and Choosing-a-
database operator reference moved verbatim into docs/self-hosting.md
with a compact pointer left behind

Reviewer round 2 scored 8/7/9/8/8/8 with one repo-fixable major left:
three deeper website spots (storage strip, architecture card, bring-
your-own-storage card) still implied a hub-less direct-to-bucket mode
that v0.3.0 removed — all rewritten to the hub-on-your-storage reality;
themes-preview.html's five retracted 'no server required' strings fixed.
Also: install-path verification added to the handoff P0 and the launch
prep checklist (a 404 brew tap on launch day is fatal); README
credentials table now says the s3/gs/file rows are hub-operator storage,
never client remotes; the agent promise now leads on both README and
website (people-sharing supports it); share.png re-captured against a
real rendered runbook (headings/table/code) instead of a one-line stub.

GTM reviewer round 1 (baseline: positioning 6, funnel 4, open-paid 8,
community 3, launch 3, metrics 2; 3 blockers + 3 majors, all repo-fixable):
- TRUTH: removed the false 'no server required' claim (x3 on the
website) and stale 'S3/GCS directly' sync claims in both plugin
manifests — hub-only since v0.3.0
- POSITIONING: one line everywhere ('the open-source Google Drive for
AI agents' + the attribution/read-analytics wedge) across README,
website, marketplace.json, plugin.json, SKILL.md; third 'Why' card
and AGPL-why rationale; nav CTA → Star on GitHub
- COMMUNITY: CONTRIBUTING.md, issue forms + PR template, public dated
ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md seeded from all 8 releases
- DEMO ASSETS: real product screenshots captured from the seeded demo
hub (Insights treemap, browse-with-heat, public share page) embedded
in README + website — no fabricated content anywhere
- DOCS: self-hosting quickstart, metrics plan (north star: active
shared brains), launch-plan drafts (Show HN/PH/launch week), and
docs/gtm-handoff.md — the prioritized external-action checklist
