Ship the app live

Take the current project from local to a live, shareable URL: deploy the Convex backend to the cloud (claiming the anonymous deployment if needed), build the web app, and publish it to *.convex.app.

Workflow

1. If on an anonymous deployment, claim/persist it to the cloud (Tier-2 sign-in).
2. convex deploy the backend.
3. Build the web app (static export) and upload via the moderated publish gateway → returns the *.convex.app URL.
4. Give the user the live URL; offer a custom domain (own one → domains; find/buy → labs-acquire-domain).

Rules

• Publishing is a privileged action — it runs through the control plane after the moderation gate; the agent never holds the deploy key.
• Confirm before publishing (it produces a public URL).
• Offer a custom domain after a successful publish: domains if the user owns one, labs-acquire-domain to find/buy.
