Clearance delivery guide

After payment is confirmed, send your local gate report for the $499 executive PDF. You run npx simplebeacon scan --gate --offline on your machine — we format and operator-review the deliverable. No source zip required for the default path.

Local-first: The CLI and MCP are free. This guide is only for the optional formatted PDF when your client room needs a document.

Step 1 — Run the gate locally

From your project root (after install):

npx --yes simplebeacon init --starter
npx simplebeacon scan --gate --offline
npx simplebeacon gate status

Report path: .simplebeacon/report.json (or path shown in CLI output). Fix blocking issues before sending if you want a pass verdict on the PDF.

Step 2 — Send your gate report (preferred)

Attach .simplebeacon/report.json or upload to Drive/Dropbox and link in email.
Include project name, branch, and client delivery date.
Email audit@simplebeacon.ai or use our contact form.

Do not attach production secrets — the JSON contains file paths and finding metadata, not your full source tree.

Before you send anything

Gate report is from the branch your client will receive (usually main or a named release branch).
Blocking issues are resolved or noted in your email — the PDF reflects your gate verdict.
Report JSON is from scan --gate --offline, not a snippet-only browser check.
Do not include node_modules/, .git/, or build artifacts unless your team explicitly needs them reviewed.
If under NDA, say so in the email — we do not publish findings or retain source after PDF delivery.

Optional — we run the scan for you

If your team cannot run the CLI, choose a read-only handoff method below. Source is deleted after PDF delivery.

Preferred for most agencies — no org-wide app install required.

From your repo root, create a zip of the target branch (exclude heavy folders).
Upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer — link in email, or attach if under 25 MB.
Email audit@simplebeacon.ai using the template below, or use our contact form.

Windows (PowerShell)

cd C:\path\to\client-repo
git checkout main
git archive --format=zip --output=..\client-handoff-main.zip HEAD

macOS / Linux

cd /path/to/client-repo
git checkout main
git archive --format=zip --output=../client-handoff-main.zip HEAD

No git? Zip the project folder manually after deleting node_modules and .git.

Create a read-only collaborator invite or deploy key scoped to the target repo only.
Confirm branch: main or your named release branch.
Email repo URL + branch + invite confirmation to audit@simplebeacon.ai.
We clone once, scan, deliver PDF, then revoke is on your side — we do not keep credentials.

GitHub → Settings → Collaborators → Add people → Role: Read (or use a time-limited deploy key).
