ZLH Pre-Launch Master Checklist

Last updated: 2026-03-09 Status: In Progress

---

Core Platform

• Upload pipeline stability (gate item — solidify before anything else)
• Console final check (functionality + UX polish)
• Stress testing (load, concurrent containers, edge cases)

---

Frontend / Site

• Site copy rewriting (landing page, pricing page, marketing copy)

---

Billing

• Reimplement billing structure (based on Pterodactyl model — should be fast)

---

Dev Containers

• Finalize dev container setup
• Usability pass (workflow, friction points)
• Mod grab feature — allow devs to pull mods from a game container

---

Deferred / Open Threads

See open issues for items deferred from the agent build:

• code-server systemd + Traefik routing (issues #2, #3)
• Payload sizing and spec presets (issue #1)

---

Notes

• Two active dev days per week — take it in stride, no scope creep
• Billing is not a long task, do not block other work on it
• Upload pipeline stability is the gate — everything else follows
