Founder flow hardening: QA pass, 28 test fixes, and model failover

A full QA sweep fixed dead links, refreshed typewriter examples to reflect real SaaS use cases, resolved 28 failing e2e tests, and introduced automatic model failover across five LLM providers.

This week Motivd shipped a comprehensive reliability pass across the founder experience. Dead links that surfaced in production (/whats-new, /docs/user-guide) now redirect correctly, a new /alternatives index page ties together all five competitor comparison pages, and the landing-page typewriter examples were rewritten to showcase full-stack SaaS, marketplace, and mobile scenarios instead of generic placeholders.

On the testing front, 28 failing e2e tests were resolved in a single sweep, and new post-deploy handoff checks verify that the founder flow transitions cleanly from workspace preview to app ownership and live domain setup. Stripe idempotency-key validation was tightened to reject malformed keys before they reach the payment API, and the admin dashboard gained finance and Google Business tabs for internal visibility.

The builder's model switcher now supports DeepSeek V3, Qwen 3 235B, Kimi K2, and Gemma 4 27B through OpenRouter, with automatic failover across providers when rate limits hit. These changes mean founders see fewer errors, faster recovery, and a polished onboarding path from first visit to deployed app.
