Context & goal

The home page (src/app/page.tsx) should be the boldest expression of the north star — the future of sovereign mail — done beautifully. Keep the ambition; apply only the three guardrails.

Requirements

Keep a strong, aspirational hero and the vision (local-first, sovereign, fast, four interfaces, AI/MCP-native, audited). Make it gorgeous.
Guardrail 1: replace every "Download Latest Release" CTA with "Notify me at launch" (see the signup story) + "Follow the build → GitHub" + "See the roadmap →". No "available now".
Guardrail 2: the inbox mockup is welcome as a product preview / design render — but label it as such, and don't present its content as a real running inbox (avoid implying real people/messages; a "preview" caption is enough). Remove any specific "measured" benchmark presented as proven.
Guardrail 3: the site-wide in-development signal + roadmap link (from the foundational story) is present.

Acceptance criteria

Hero sells the vision boldly; no "Download"/"available now".
Any UI mockup is clearly a product preview, not passed off as a live screenshot; no invented benchmark stated as measured.
In-development signal + roadmap link present.
Build + lint pass.

Size: M. Depends on the foundational story.

Governing philosophy — north star. This site sells the vision: what Nuncio will be. Present it boldly and aspirationally, as the destination we're building toward — do not water it down to "here's a broken pre-alpha." Only three hard guardrails apply:

Not available today. No "Download"/"Latest Release"/"install now". CTAs are "Notify me at launch", "Follow the build → GitHub", "See the roadmap →" (https://koftwentytwo.github.io/nuncio/roadmap/).
No invented data as real. Benchmarks must be genuinely measured (cite the source) or omitted — no "<10ms across 100,000+ emails" as if proven. UI mockups/renders are encouraged, but framed as product previews of the vision, not screenshots of a real running inbox with real people.
Status discoverable. A tasteful, consistent signal that this is in active development, plus a roadmap link, so a visitor understands it's what's coming and can see where we actually are.

Process: branch story/<slug> off the site's default branch; PR back; the PO reviews for vision quality AND the three guardrails before merge. npm run build + npm run lint must pass.
