Not migrated today:

genesis-ui (staging) — tip remains the 2025-08-05 sync.

Dormant / no stage/staging branch: genesis-admin, ArtistEvolve, g-ui, cm-scout, ae-infra.

Note: this cut builds on the 2026-08-03 prod release (genesis-web 4.17.0, artistevolve-fe 4.11.0, fe-artistevolve-admin 1.13.0, artist-admin 1.11.1) — only the changes new since that release (i.e. on stage/staging but not yet on main/prod) are listed below. genesis-web, artistevolve-fe, and fe-artistevolve-admin are minor bumps (each carries new features); artist-admin is a patch. genesis-train and genesis-aws-services (which were not in the 08-03 prod cut) both received staging merges today. The dev.* / rc.1 tags were cut by CI on the stage push; final release tags follow on the prod promotion.

Cross-cutting notes (staging verification before we cut prod)

Agentic chat reliability (EVO-4193) — spans artistevolve-fe (#703, parked-confirmation UX + Idea Center bubbles), genesis-web (#1007, serialize stream-init errors in Pino), and genesis-train (#168, lean context / task-create cascade / durable confirm gates). Verify chat streams stay stable, parked confirmations resolve, the task-create cascade fires, and confirm gates hold end-to-end.
Analytics permissions & scoping (EVO-4297) — genesis-web (#1008, correct rates/permissions/per-account scoping) + artistevolve-fe (#705, surface permission gaps + correct display). Verify analytics rates are correct, data is scoped per account, and permission gaps are surfaced clearly.
Inspiration saved posts (EVO-4373) — genesis-web (#1014, address saved posts by platform + external id) + artistevolve-fe (#709, save/unsave by natural key). Verify saving/unsaving persists, dedupes across platforms, and survives reload.
Email & notifications batch (genesis-web: EVO-4353 / EVO-4372 / EVO-4262 / EVO-4317) — Verify the Billing & Account email category renders, Content Studio/Analytics feature gating respects level, repeat overdue-task reminders are deduped, and social-platform footer icons are hyperlinked.
Daily Momentum endpoint (EVO-4358, genesis-web #1010) — Verify the dashboard consumes the new centralized endpoint and momentum data matches prior behavior.
PostHog analytics pipeline (EVO-4298 reverse proxy + EVO-4320 posthog-js upgrade, artistevolve-fe) — Verify events still ingest through the reverse proxy after the client upgrade, with no console/CSP errors.
Weekly social report (fe-artistevolve-admin #81) — Verify the Weekly social report UI renders, sync/CSV tools work, and full PDF export produces a complete report.
Marketing metrics revamp (artist-admin #102) — Verify the revamped marketing-metrics module and its new services return correct data.
Zoom-to-Whop automation (genesis-aws-services #103) — Verify the new cohort-recording Lambdas trigger and move recordings from Zoom to Whop as expected.
Spotify heavy-data background task (EVO-4324, genesis-web #1006) — Verify heavy Spotify data loads asynchronously without blocking the request path.
