Site build — August 25, 2026 (12 files changed)

Consolidates the openings system to a single mode key and fixes the live bug: the site was in the full/waitlist state but the hero pointer on every page still read “Now booking new clients.” Pointer text is now derived from mode automatically — a contradictory state is no longer possible.

Deploy the whole zip (it’s the complete repo), or paste per-file in the GitHub web editor. ⚠️ Web editor only — smart quotes from Word/Notes break the build.

What changed

_config.yml — show_public, waitlist_mode, and pointer are gone. One key now controls everything:
- mode: "normal" → slot list; pointer “Now booking new clients…”
- mode: "hybrid" → slot list + waitlist path; pointer “Limited openings…”
- mode: "full" → waitlist state, no list, no phone; pointer “Currently full — join the waitlist”
- mode: "private" → nothing public; walled /openings/ still works Safety net: an empty slots list forces the full state even if mode is stale. Currently set to mode: "full" (your live situation), as-of Aug 21 preserved, commented slot lines preserved for next time.
_includes/openings_pointer.html — pointer text derived from mode.
_includes/openings_block.html — three states keyed on mode; full state routes to the SimplePractice contact widget only (no phone).
openings.html — lede condition now reads mode instead of waitlist_mode.
index, about, contact, couples-therapy, anxiety-trauma-emdr, adhd, adhd-in-women, stress-burnout, therapy-for-men — visibility gate changed from show_public to mode != "private" (one line each).

Your weekly edit now

Change as_of, edit slots, and set mode to match reality. That’s it — never touch pointer text. When full: mode: "full", comment out the slots.
