MTL Pinterest — live board

☛ Needs your hands — 2 things

Profile cover image. App-only, no web slot, no API. Open the Pinterest mobile app → your profile → Edit → cover. Suggested: the Virgo coin photo already live.
Desktop link if you want the profile open: pinterest.com/MemoryThatLasts1
One click: "Run now" on the scheduled task pinterest-weekly-readout. It pre-approves the tools. Runs Mon 10 Aug 07:36 either way.

Nothing else needs you. Nothing here is blocking.

Credits — the 400 ceiling

216 credits committed of 272 remaining

Billing period 25 Jul – 24 Aug · renews 25 Aug · Tailwind Bundle, $44.98/mo, 400/month

Line	Number
Monthly ceiling	400
Used so far this period	128
Remaining now	272
Plan: 4 pins/day × 3 boards	12 credits/day
18 days left to 25 Aug → 72 pins	216 credits
Headroom after the plan	56 credits spare
Full 30-day month	120 pins → 360 of 400
Full 31-day month	124 pins → 372 of 400

No extra credits are being bought. The plan fits. 1 credit = 1 scheduled pin; saving to 3 boards costs 3.

How the 3 boards are chosen — deliberately

The head-term board it sits under
Whichever board is thinnest or seasonally rising — Libra gets weight now, it spikes in September

SmartSchedule stays on. No fixed grid.

Boards — every one, live

Zero-empty-boards progress: 8 of 10

2 boards still hold 0 pins. 4 more hold only 1 pin. The standard we are chasing (Caitlyn Minimalist, 10m monthly views) is zero empty, floor of 7 pins.

Board	Pins	Description	State
All Pins	20	auto board	auto
Cat Mom & Dog Mom Gifts	7	yes	Copy clean. Name is not demand-backed — `dog mom necklace` KD 100
Pet Memorial Jewelry	5	yes	Compliant. "Engraved in the U.S." is a locked required phrase. Only open point: whether the `WELCOME10` code belongs in a board description
Zodiac Coin Necklace	2	yes	Clean. Cheap wedge, KD 17
Zodiac Necklace	1	yes	Head term. Thin — needs depth
Gold Coin Necklace	1	yes	Thin
Libra Necklace	1	yes	Seasonally rising — spikes ~2,400 in September. Priority for fan-out slot 3
Virgo Necklace	1	yes	In season now
Meaningful Gift Ideas	0	fix	EMPTY. Description contains an em dash and the banned word "keepsakes"
Engraved Necklaces	0	fix	EMPTY. Description contains an em dash

Every board has a description — 2 of them break our copy rules and are being rewritten. Board names still need the pipe prefix and the profile needs board order set to Custom.

⚠ Live copy violations — 2, being rewritten

Meaningful Gift Ideas — em dash, and the banned word "keepsakes".
Engraved Necklaces — em dash.

Not a violation: "Engraved in the U.S." on Pet Memorial Jewelry is a locked required phrase per LOCKED-RULES.md (partner facility in North Carolina). Correct as written.
Judgement call, your steer: that same description ends "Use WELCOME10 for 10% off". No rule forbids it on a board description — the no-promo rule covers pin description bodies. Keep or cut?

Do not pin these

Cancer and Capricorn coins carry each other's zodiac glyph on the spec card. Verified twice against pixels. Out of every pin, board and Collections pin until new Kittl artwork exists.
Never choose an image by alt text. On all 11 zodiac coins, position 4 is a stainless photo whose alt claims gold.
Pin images: live Shopify product photos only. Cloudinary video is allowed; Cloudinary tiles and collages are not.

Performance — what is actually working

The catalog is carrying everything

Source	Impressions	Outbound clicks
Free auto catalog board (~2,844 pins)	4,760 of 5,275	3 of 4
Our authored, hand-scheduled pins	~515	0, two months running

This is why the priority is building on the catalog — product groups saved to public boards, and free organic Collections pins — not making more scheduled pins.

North star is outbound clicks, then Shopify checkouts. Saves are a leading indicator only. Refreshed Mondays 07:30 ET by pinterest-weekly-readout.

Tonight’s build — order of work

Rewrite the 3 non-compliant board descriptions in progress
Fill the 2 empty boards so nothing sits at zero next
Pipe prefix on every board name, board order → Custom, strongest first
Rebuild the queue at 4/day × 3 boards, static + Cloudinary video, 7-day spacing on repeat URLs
Trial catalog product groups saved to public boards and free organic Collections pins — both researched, neither ever executed

Standing facts

#	Trigger	Action
R1	A format is top 2 of 4 on outbound clicks per 1,000 impressions two weeks running, ≥300 impressions each week	Raise it to 2 of the 4 daily slots
R2	A format is bottom of four on the same measure two weeks running, ≥300 impressions each week	Cut to 1 slot/day. Third losing week, retire it
R3	A board has ≥15 pins and 0 outbound clicks	Re-keyword title and description against live eRank, hold 2 weeks, then cut
R4	A pin gets ≥500 impressions, 0 saves, 0 outbound clicks	Kill that image/title pattern. Do not repost the URL for 30 days
R5	A pin gets ≥3 outbound clicks in a week	Clone its image style and title pattern into 3 new pins
R6	Weekly outbound clicks <10 for three weeks while impressions grow	The problem is the image, not the reach
R7	Shopify Pinterest sessions ≥25 in a week but 0 cart adds	Problem is the landing page. Hand to a PDP session
R8	Any week with ≥1 Shopify order attributed to Pinterest	Freeze that pin's format and destination. Write it into Ops as proven

Never uninstall the Pinterest app in Shopify. The domain claim and the whole catalog both ride on it.
Etsy cannot be claimed on Pinterest. No such option exists.
OAuth is not a blocker and never was — the catalog does not use the API token.
additional_image_link is already flowing from the Shopify app. Nothing to build.
Machines: Indigo = Kayla, Big Computer = Kevin. The Pinterest OAuth callback listens on localhost:8085 on Neo, which is why that flow never completes elsewhere.
Ship string is exactly "Ships within 2 to 5 days". No em dashes, no "keepsake", no "charm", no "hand-engraved", stainless is never "silver", no hashtags, no price or shipping in description bodies.
Origin is a locked phrase: "Engraved in the U.S." — use it, do not question it. Partner facility is North Carolina; refer to it only as "our partner facility in North Carolina" or just "engraved in the U.S." Never "Made in USA", "American-made", or any supplier name. Source: LOCKED-RULES.md.
Engraving method is "laser-engraved" / "fiber-laser etched". Never "hand-engraved", "carved" or "stamped".
