Nocturne platform • invite-only MVP

Luxury synthetic media, private by design.

Nocturne is the internal codename for a single-creator membership platform built around pseudonymous access, no default email collection, self-custody recovery, and private media delivery.

Private by default

Minimal custody, clear tradeoffs.

Accounts use pseudonymous member IDs, digest-backed sessions, one-time recovery keys, and invite codes that are stored only as SHA-256 digests.

Media foundation

Member-only viewing path.

The local MVP already gates catalog, detail pages, inline file routes, byte ranges, and selected attachment downloads behind authenticated entitlement checks.

Operator posture

Built for private VPS rehearsal.

Doctor, smoke, preflight, evidence, backup posture, and readiness commands keep deployment work explicit before any wider private testing.

Foundation status

Running shell, not a public launch.

This environment is for local/private validation of the architecture before live payments, production media operations, or broader access are enabled.
