-## 4. ⚠️ Prerequisite BEFORE we can record (honest blocker)
-
-The MCC **connects** TikTok but its **video publish pipeline is not fully wired / verified** —
-`modules/channels/index.js` stages posts by default (line ~276-277, 730-759) and only a
-`video/publish/init` call exists (line 456). To record Scenes 3–4 we must first make a REAL
-sandbox post succeed end-to-end:
-
-1. Complete the Content Posting flow in sandbox: `video/publish/init` (Direct Post, PULL_FROM_URL
-   from a public designerwallcoverings.com video URL — domain is already verified) → poll status
-   → confirm the video appears (private) on @designerwallcoverings, returning a real `publish_id`.
-2. Wire the `video.upload` (draft/inbox) path similarly.
-3. THEN screen-record the demo against the live sandbox.
-
-This build is the gating item for App Review — everything else in this package is ready.
+## 4. Posting pipeline — VERIFIED WORKING (2026-07-21)
+
+Earlier thought to be a blocker; it is not. Findings:
+- `postTikTok()` (`modules/channels/index.js` line ~453) is **fully implemented**:
+  `video/publish/init` → Direct Post, `PULL_FROM_URL` from the verified domain,
+  `privacy_level: SELF_ONLY`. No build needed.
+- Posts only "staged" before because `connected` was false (no `TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN`).
+  With the minted token in env, `connected → true` and posts fire for real.
+- **Verified live:** `creator_info/query` returns Designer Wallcoverings / @designerwallcoverings,
+  `can_post=true`, privacy = PUBLIC/FRIENDS/SELF_ONLY, max 3600s. Token + `video.publish` work.
+
+**Only two things remain to record the demo (Scenes 3–4):**
+1. A real video hosted on the **verified domain** (designerwallcoverings.com or the
+   marketing. subdomain) to feed `PULL_FROM_URL`. (Shopify-CDN URLs won't pass — domain
+   must be the verified one.)
+2. Firing one real `SELF_ONLY` (private) post to @designerwallcoverings — a **gated publish**;
+   do it live while recording, not autonomously.
+
+Everything else in this package is ready. This is NOT a build blocker anymore.
