The anonymous 1-free-run gate now hands off cleanly to a verified email OTP flow. Buyers get their code in seconds; abuse patterns get short-circuited before the LLM ever runs.
Why it matters
- Every claimed complimentary verdict is now tied to a verified email — buyers get their runs back later on any device.
- Email deliverability is monitored via a live admin health endpoint — no more silent bounces.
- The gate remains buyer-first: no forced sign-up, no dark patterns, just a 6-digit code.
