 - **Description:** Pro plan landing page lists "Custom templates" as a feature but there's no way to upload or create custom templates. Either build the feature or remove the claim. Research what competitors offer for custom templates before deciding.
 - **Status:** Open — CEO needs to research competitors and decide

+### 📝 Notes
+- **BUG-012 fix confirmed:** No email form. Two-click flow: "Get Free API Key" opens modal → "Generate API Key →" creates key instantly.
+- **No merge conflicts detected:** Both devs' changes appear cleanly integrated.
+- **Signup flow UX note (not a bug):** The landing page button says "Get Free API Key" but opens a modal with another button "Generate API Key →". This is a 2-click flow, not instant. Acceptable UX but worth noting — the task spec said "instantly request a key" which implies 1 click.

+### BUG-020: Free tier too generous and no accountability
+- **Found by:** Human (investor)
+- **Date:** 2026-02-14
+- **Severity:** HIGH (business model risk)
+- **Description:** Free keys with no email = no accountability. 4 keys/IP/hour × 100 PDFs each = 400 free PDFs/IP/hour. Anyone can abuse this with zero consequences. Need: (1) Require email + verification (proves real person, gives us a contact for marketing/upsell), (2) One key per verified email, (3) Much stricter rate limiting. Free tier should be enough to evaluate the product, not enough to run a business on.
+- **Status:** Open — CEO must redesign free tier signup flow
