Idea

Push SFTR one step further by threading section settings, JSON templates, and enough dummy store data through the renderer to expose what is still fake.

Status

We got a little farther than week one, which is another way of saying we found deeper problems.

Problems Faced

Section defaults and live settings are easy to confuse if you are moving too quickly.
The AI generated lots of tidy code around a still-fuzzy truth model.

Techniques That Helped

Compare generated output against a real theme at every stage.
Keep a short list of invariants and force the agent to work around them.

Lessons Learned

Better scaffolding does not matter if the data contract is still fantasy. This is now firmly a long-run project.
