Executive Summary

MenuCraft is a QR-menu ordering SaaS with admin + restaurant owner panels. The landing page renders a solid hero with iPhone mockup but the sections below (features, pricing, testimonials) don't load their actual content blocks — only placeholders. Login is blocked by the NextAuth basePath issue (same as FundHive BUG-001). Pricing page renders correctly. Features page returns 404.

Credentials seeded: [email protected] / Admin123!, [email protected] / Demo123!, plus 3 real-restaurant test emails.

Stack & Access

Framework	Next.js 14 (App Router, basePath=/menucraft)
Port	3002
Public URL	codemytown.com/menucraft/
DB	Prisma + SQLite, seeded
Auth	NextAuth 5-beta (same basePath bug class)

Screenshots

/ — Hero + iPhone mockup render, but middle sections (features, pricing preview, testimonials) are empty. Content blocks exist in source but don't hydrate.

**/login** — Redirects to `/auth/login?callbackUrl=/login` without basePath → 404. Same class as FundHive BUG-001.

**/pricing** — Works great: 4 tiers (Free / Starter $19 / Professional $49 / Enterprise), 16-row feature comparison, 14-day money-back guarantee. Full page renders.

**/features** — 404. Middleware redirects to `/auth/login`. Route exists in source but is behind auth.

Bugs

BUG-001BLOCKEROPEN

Login + protected-routes redirect without basePath → 404 on parent domain

Symptom: Clicking Sign In, or navigating to /menucraft/features, redirects to codemytown.com/auth/login?callbackUrl=/... — 404.
Root cause: NextAuth v5-beta basePath issue (same upstream bug as FundHive).
Fix: Deploy on subdomain menucraft.codemytown.com OR upgrade next-auth@^5.0.0-beta.30.

BUG-002MAJOROPEN

Landing page sections not hydrating / not rendering visible content

Page: /
Observed: Hero renders, but everything below 'Transform Your Restaurant with Smart Digital Menus' is blank whitespace. Scroll reveals only the footer.
Likely cause: Client components using 'use client' failing to hydrate silently, or missing feature-data array.
Fix: Check browser console + Components tree for hydration errors; verify feature/testimonial data files are imported.

BUG-003MINOROPEN

Console logs 5 errors on landing page

Count: 5 errors after navigating to /
Likely cause: RSC prefetch 404s cascading from BUG-001.

BUG-004MINOROPEN

Middleware `matcher` protects `/features` (marketing page should be public)

Fix: Remove /features from protected paths or change the route group.

Recommendation

Deploy on subdomain to unblock auth, then debug the landing-page hydration issue (BUG-002). Pricing and core structure are solid — this product is ~2-3 hours of polish from shipping.
