+# Lumen UX walk (current read-only audit)
+
+This is a **read-only** audit of the current entry-to-completion routing in the live web app.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Surface audited: `apps/web` Next.js routes and Studio runtime flow.
+- Focus: where users enter, where they are redirected, and what blocks completion.
+
+## Entry routes and routing outcomes
+
+| Entry surface | Current behavior | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `/` | Public landing page with paste form and Pro checkout entry. | `apps/web/src/app/page.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/home/HomePasteForm.tsx` |
+| Home paste submit | Validates YouTube URL, fires `POST /api/video/pack`, then navigates to `/studio?video=...`. | `apps/web/src/lib/studio-handoff.ts`, `apps/web/src/lib/emit-video-pack.ts` |
+| `/studio` | Canonical workbench (`OneLoopStudio`) for analyze → act → export → deploy actions. | `apps/web/src/app/studio/page.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/OneLoopStudio.tsx` |
+| `/dashboard` + `/dashboard/*` | Retired; redirected to `/studio` (page redirect + middleware + Next redirects). | `apps/web/src/app/dashboard/page.tsx`, `apps/web/src/proxy.ts`, `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+| `/dashboard/agents` | Retired; redirected to `/studio`. | `apps/web/src/app/dashboard/agents/page.tsx` |
+| `/app` + `/app/*` | Redirected to `/studio`. | `apps/web/src/app/app/page.tsx`, `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+| `/prototype` + `/prototype/*` | Redirected to `/studio`. | `apps/web/src/app/prototype/page.tsx`, `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+| `/features` | Redirected to `/`. | `apps/web/src/app/features/page.tsx`, `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+| `/playground` | Redirected to `/`. | `apps/web/src/app/playground/page.tsx`, `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+| `/lumen` | No route found in the current app router or redirects. | repo search for `lumen` in `apps/web/src` and `apps/web/next.config.js` |
+
+## Entry-to-completion flow (today)
+
+1. User enters at `/` and submits YouTube URL.
+2. Home handoff normalizes URL and pre-kicks identity pack emit (`/api/video/pack`).
+3. User lands on `/studio?video=...`.
+4. Studio auto-starts analysis from query param (`applyStudioQueryAutoStart` → `runAnalysis`).
+5. `processVideo` runs durable flow:
+   - identity pack emit/poll,
+   - start `/api/workflows/video-to-actions`,
+   - poll run status,
+   - persist verified transcript/events/actions into store.
+6. Completion happens on the same `/studio` page through:
+   - transcript/events + pack surfaces,
+   - tool run results,
+   - export package,
+   - deploy attempt with G.A.T.E. decisioning.
+
+Evidence: `apps/web/src/components/OneLoopStudio.tsx`, `apps/web/src/store/dashboard-store.ts`, `apps/web/src/lib/studio-workflow.ts`, `apps/web/src/lib/gate-transition.ts`.
+
+## Missing / blocked surfaces (gaps)
+
+1. **No distinct Lumen route/shell**  
+   The canonical workbench is `/studio`; no `/lumen` route exists.
+
+2. **Completion is single-page only**  
+   There is no dedicated “completion” route; users stay on `/studio` and state is in-page/store-driven.
+
+3. **Deploy path is intentionally gated**  
+   - `/api/workflows/studio-deploy` is not public in auth policy.
+   - 401/403 in Studio deploy/act flows force login redirect.
+   - Deploy button can be disabled by stack-check hold (`holdReason`) and by missing payload.
+
+   Evidence: `apps/web/src/lib/auth-paths.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/OneLoopStudio.tsx`, `apps/web/src/lib/official-templates.ts`.
+
+4. **Auth misconfiguration fail-closed behavior**  
+   In production with missing `NEXTAUTH_SECRET`, protected surfaces return 503 instead of silently opening.
+
+   Evidence: `apps/web/src/lib/auth-paths.ts`, `apps/web/src/proxy.ts`.
+
+5. **Retired secondary surfaces remain redirects, not experiences**  
+   `/dashboard`, `/app`, `/prototype`, `/features`, and `/playground` are compatibility redirects only.
+
+## Summary
+
+Current UX is a consolidated **`/` → `/studio`** flow. Entry is public, analysis can run from a public Studio surface, and completion actions are concentrated in OneLoopStudio with explicit auth and deploy gating.
