Review as Paid member

User story

As a paid member, I want to find stories from the Backcountry archive so I can use decades of trusted editorial knowledge.

Draft requirements for review · Updated 2026-10-19

What the app should do

  • Browse/search24 archive works with distinct native destinations: four existing works plus20 original fictional articles.
  • Open Decision Line installments2–4, related reading, story kits, saved field kits and named place/event-preparation articles without loops or inert links.
  • Keep public/member access behavior and readable long headlines on narrow phones.
  • Document fictional content provenance in this Brief. Product reading has no repeated demo callouts; no historical publisher-content migration is claimed.
  • Use the active Paid member role fixture for member-only actions. A free account or a professional identity does not supply paid access. The review identity is a genuine local account; another account’s checkout state stays separate.

What to check in the demo

Follow these steps from the role’s landing page through navigation and feature checks.

Start here: Home

Begin on the paid Member Home. Use the Paid member demo role or Casey Bennett in Try a demo account, then select Member in the account/workspace menu if necessary. This creates a genuine local session with a seeded no-charge test membership; it does not upgrade a different account.

Before this can work
