## Who

Operators who expected a live codefolio host after packs flagged a missing deploy, and anyone tracking codefolio#1 as the ship gate for a public URL.

## What

Closed codefolio#1 with docs only. DEPLOY.md landed so the restore path is written down. There is still no vercel.app URL and no production host. Convex env vars and codefolio.dev stay parked until those secrets exist.

This is an honest docs-only close, not a live restore.

## Where

Repo under the codefolio product set. Docs: DEPLOY.md in-tree. Prior field notes: [/blog/codefolio-spec-first-github-portfolio-saas](/blog/codefolio-spec-first-github-portfolio-saas). No live review URL yet.

## When

September 8, 2026 evening ET: codefolio#1 closed on DEPLOY.md alone; Convex env and custom DNS still open.

## Why

Shipping a deploy guide without Convex env still leaves a dead demo. Documenting the path closes the pack item without pretending a host exists.

Would you fill Convex env and cut a vercel.app preview next, or keep codefolio.dev parked until the full auth stack is ready?
