Proof ladder (SMS restock)
| What is true this week | You may do | You freeze |
|---|---|---|
| On-hand above zero in Shopify | Send to waitlist or notify-me segment. | A text while the PDP says sold out. |
| Opt-in logged with timestamp | One SMS per restock event. | Importing checkout phones without consent. |
| Public price unchanged | State price in the text or on the linked PDP. | A hidden SMS-only code. |
| Quiet week on prospecting | House list SMS only. Prospecting pause. | Sitewide sale language in the text. |
