What is Publish Slug?
A project’s public identity (`slug.byob.page`) before or alongside a custom domain. Slugs are stable, shareable, and never hardcoded into generated code.

Custom Domain
Your own address (you.com) instead of a builder subdomain, with automatic SSL. The trust baseline for anything commercial: subdomains convert worse and rank no better.
One-Click Deployment
Publishing a site to production hosting without manual configuration. BYOB deploys to an edge network with rollback to known commits when a release misbehaves.
Preview, Editor & Deployment URLs
The three canonical runtime addresses: live preview, workspace editor, and deployed site. Generated code must never hardcode them; they resolve per environment.
Guided Preflight
The multi-step setup wizard BYOB runs before generating code: refining the prompt, identifying features, proposing UX direction, and choosing data options. Planning first is what separates coherent apps from random screens.
Lucky Build (Autopilot)
The one-shot fast path that skips guided setup and generates directly from the prompt. Best for experiments and landing pages; guided preflight wins for anything with data or auth.
Pass-1 Build
The uninterruptible first generation surface: styles, layout, page, components, then validation. Letting pass one finish prevents half-built states that later edits have to repair.
