Gold path is saas and admin — auth, SQLite, Items and Team. Store and landings are composed catalog (same add-page / upgrade loop, no live auth). Gontify and Portfolio are showcase starters.

Gold path: saas and admin. Store and the rest of this row compose catalog blocks — grow with add-page, no Better Auth or database.
Gold path: split auth plus forgot-password, Items and Team in a sidebar shell. Catalog demo pages (analytics, billing, settings, welcome, setup wizard, checklist) ship as files, not in the nav — composed from validated blocks, ready to re-theme.
What's inside
Split login/signup and forgot-password plus an (app) shell with sidebar nav
Live nav: Items and Team. Analytics, billing, and settings stay as files, off the nav
Catalog activation files: welcome, setup wizard, and get-started checklist
Aurora theme by default — `theme set` re-skins the tree
Grow with `cronus-ui add-page`; upgrade keeps local edits

Starters
Bundled trees. Gontify and Portfolio are showcase (local UI, Cronus theme only) — not compose, not Items/Team.
A real application skeleton: an icon-collapsible sidebar shell with route-aware nav, a KPI + chart + data-table overview, and a settings page of forms.
Showcase starter — bundled marketing tree with local UI, not the compose gold path. Column-line hero, logos, bento features, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, and CTA. Cronus theme only; do not `compose` / `add-page` as if it were saas.
What's inside
Column-line hero with announcement chip and product mock
Flowing logo cloud, bento features, how-it-works stats
Pricing, kinetic testimonials, FAQ, and a Vercel-style CTA
Neutral theme, dark mode — `config/site.ts` is the brand file
Every template prompts for (or accepts) --theme and --mode, bakes your pick into the app, and ships a cronus-ui.json so the registry CLI works from the first commit.
Keep building
Grow the app after you scaffold
Add a route with cronus-ui add-page, switch presets with theme set, or pull a single primitive with add. Upstream fixes land through upgrade without wiping local edits.
