+# Grid Wallet Prod — Phase 1: fork the demo, remove the config sidebar
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-21
+**Status:** Approved (approach A)
+
+## Goal
+
+Fork `components/grid-wallet-demo` into `components/grid-wallet-prod`, the starting point for a
+**live production demo**: real Grid API requests, real funds, production keys, with the API-call
+panel still visible beside the phone.
+
+This spec covers **Phase 1 only**: the fork, removing the left config sidebar, and hardcoding
+passkey sign-in. Wiring the scripted calls in `src/data/actions.ts` to the real Grid production
+API is **Phase 2** and gets its own spec — real funds means auth, key handling, error states, and
+irreversibility all need a dedicated design pass.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- **Location:** `components/grid-wallet-prod` (sibling of the demo; its own Vercel project later).
+- **Dev port:** 4001, so the demo (pinned to 4000) and prod fork run side by side.
+- **Sidebar removal:** remove cleanly (approach A) — delete usage and component files, don't gate
+  behind a flag.
+- **Sign-in:** hardcoded to passkey; use case pinned to Fintech.
+- **Original demo untouched:** no changes to `components/grid-wallet-demo` or the docs iframe
+  that embeds it.
+
+## Changes
+
+### 1. Fork
+
+Copy `components/grid-wallet-demo` → `components/grid-wallet-prod`, excluding `node_modules`,
+`.next`, and build artifacts. In the fork:
+
+- `package.json`: rename package to `grid-wallet-prod`; dev/start scripts use port 4001.
+- `README.md`: retitle for the production demo; note the demo remains the docs-embedded variant.
+
+### 2. Remove the left nav (config sidebar)
+
+In the fork's `src/app/page.tsx`:
+
+- Delete the `configCol` div and the `ConfigurePanel` import/usage.
+- Delete the mobile `configure ⇄ playground` view switching that only existed because of the
+  sidebar: `mobileView` state, `goPlayground`/`goConfigure`, `onConfigureAction`, the back pill,
+  the "Explore playground" button, the progressive-blur tray, the scroll-hide effect, and the
+  popstate handler. Mobile renders the playground directly.
+- Keep `useWalletDemoLogic` fully intact — the phone already drives every action through it.
+
+In `src/app/page.module.scss`: drop the config column from the layout so it becomes
+`phone (appCol) + resize handle + API panel (apiCol)`; remove styles for the deleted mobile
+chrome; keep the stacked ⇄ wide breakpoint behavior for the two remaining columns.
+
+Delete `src/components/ConfigurePanel/` from the fork.
+
+### 3. Hardcode passkey + Fintech
+
+In the fork's `useWalletDemoLogic`: pin `useCase` to Fintech and `methods` to `['passkey']`
+(remove or no-op the setters the sidebar used). The phone's sign-in screen then offers only
+"Continue with Passkey".
+
+Google/Apple/Email/Phone auth screens stay in `Phone.tsx` but are unreachable. They get pruned in
+Phase 2 when real auth lands, so the phone file isn't churned twice.
+
+### 4. Unchanged for now
+
+Header, footer, theme sync/embed contract, all phone visuals, and the API panel (still fed by the
+scripted `entries` until Phase 2).
+
+## Verification
+
+- `npm install --ignore-scripts && npm run dev` in the fork serves on :4001.
+- No config sidebar at any viewport; phone + API panel lay out correctly wide and stacked.
+- Sign-in screen shows only passkey; the full flow (create account → add money → send → cash out →
+  issue card → tap to pay) still runs from the phone, with API calls appearing in the panel.
+- `npm run build` passes with no references to the deleted `ConfigurePanel`.
+- The original demo still runs unmodified on :4000.
+
+## Out of scope (Phase 2+)
+
+- Live Grid production API integration (real requests, real funds, production key handling).
+- Real passkey/WebAuthn ceremony.
+- Pruning unused auth screens and demo-only code paths from `Phone.tsx`.
+- Vercel project + deployment for the prod app.
