This page is the visual leadership view of how the main admin dashboard, the Orders Control Center, fill-first packing,
live shipping progress, tracking exceptions, WAAVE payment truth, inventory truth, make-good obligations, customer
service, plugins, and the monitoring agents now work together without creating conflicting sources of truth.
Big picture: the main admin dashboard is the control surface, the Orders Control Center is the clean fulfillment surface, customer checkout moves through WAAVE-backed payment truth, order lifecycle emails fire on real milestones, EasyPost webhooks update shipping progress, a 4-hour reconciliation worker catches missed carrier changes, the fill-first lane stays focused on paid orders ready to pack, the live shipping board stays focused on current USPS movement, the tracking exception lane stays limited to unresolved cleanup only, and the agent stack now acts as oversight and exception routing instead of pretending to be the primary shipping engine.
This is the consolidated top-level map. It now reflects the live order lifecycle: WAAVE evidence normalizes payment truth, order notifications are milestone-driven, EasyPost webhooks update carrier progress first, a 4-hour reconciliation worker backs up missed tracker changes, the Orders Control Center is organized into Fill These First, Live Shipping Progress, and Tracking Exceptions, and the tracking relay/archive sync writes historical proof without becoming the live shipping source of truth.

Customer / Order Flow
This is the order-side fork map. WAAVE confirms payment truth, customers receive order-received and payment-confirmed notifications, tracking is attached through the shipping layer, EasyPost updates carrier progress, the 4-hour worker reconciles misses, and only unresolved notice or cleanup problems fall into a manual exception lane. The order path is now driven by milestone automation first and human exceptions second.
This is the agent fork view. It now reflects the stricter separation between routine automation and human oversight. Webhooks and workers handle order notifications and tracking progress first, customer-service and exception agents handle cleanup and replies second, and archival ledgers stay downstream from the live shipping state instead of competing with it.
Start on the main admin dashboard. Jump next into the Orders Control Center. Use Fill These First to pack paid orders, Live Shipping Progress to see current carrier movement, and Tracking Exceptions only for leftover cleanup work.
Most important operational rule
An order does not reach shipping just because it exists in email. It must be confirmed through the case layer, then payment reconciliation, before it can move toward labels.
Why the new layer matters
Payment reconciliation protects you from shipping unpaid, refunded, or ambiguous orders, while milestone notifications, webhook-driven shipping progress, 4-hour reconciliation, inventory truth, make-good tracking, and exception-only cleanup keep promises, labels, and customer data aligned.
How WAAVE fits
WAAVE is treated as a payment-evidence source only. It should feed the local WAAVE transaction register first, then payment reconciliation, and should never bypass the payment ledger to reach customer promises or shipping decisions directly.
How plugins fit safely
GitHub, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and Notion now support the system in clearly separated roles. They summarize, surface, or organize operational truth, but the local ledgers still remain the live source of record.
Agent Specialization Rule
Do not add a new active agent just to split attention. Let webhook and worker automation handle routine order progress first. Add or keep agents only where they own exceptions, replies, audits, or cross-system routing.
Current Gmail Cadence
The customer-service response layer is still running on a 60-minute cadence for reply safety, while shipping progress itself now updates from EasyPost webhooks first and the 4-hour reconciliation worker second.
How Discord fits safely
Discord now has a defined intake lane, but it stays downstream from the same case, payment, make-good, and shipping truth files. Discord can surface work and support replies, but it should not become a second order-truth system.
