Meet Jordan.
This is what loyalty feels like on your site.

• Jordan never signs up for anything. The store posts orders to one idempotent API; the Gold rule awards points in the same request. Loyalty rides along invisibly.
• The rewards page is drop-in. Those balance, tier, credit, redeem, and history cards are our open-source web components wearing Acme's colours — and the redeem box genuinely works in the demo.
• Watch step 2 of the walkthrough. The moment points become money, finance's liability counter moves — one event, two truths, zero reconciliation.
• Watch step 3. Credit is spent soonest-expiring-first, so members lose the least — and a return reverses the redemption inside the configured window, no support ticket.
• The ending is the point. Six immutable ledger rows drive Jordan's history, the CFO's dashboard, and the auditor's export. One record, three audiences.
• Count the logos. VariaOS appears exactly once, in the demo's footer — which is exactly how production works.

What's real vs simulated: the rewards components are the published widget library (@aetherprojects.net/widgets) in demo mode. The shop, checkout, and books panes are a guided simulation — but every rule they follow is the real Retail Starter configuration: Gold earns 2×/$, 1,000 points auto-convert at $10 × a 1.5 Gold multiplier, promotional credit expires on a 90-day rolling window, refund credit can never expire, and drawdowns are first-expiring-first-out. Jordan is our demo persona; all data is synthetic.
