After users pick their persona (role), they now land on a new Brand
step that collects the same fields available in Settings → Workspace
→ Brand: website, description, tone, voice notes, and content
language. When they continue, every AI-generated post for this
workspace already has sensible defaults — before the user's first
post is ever drafted.
Flow:
Role (persona) → Brand (new) → Connections → Subscription → Completed.
A 'Skip for now' button on the brand step advances to Connections
without touching the workspace (defaults stay at their seed values).
Backend:
- Setup enum gets a new Brand case slotted between Role and
Connections with matching stepNumber updates.
- OnboardingController::brand() renders the form pre-filled from the
current workspace. storeBrand() validates via a new
StoreBrandRequest form request and writes the fields onto the
workspace, then advances setup. skipBrand() just advances.
- storeRole() redirects to brand instead of account. enforceStep()
knows how to redirect users whose setup is Brand.
- Three new routes: GET /onboarding/brand, POST /onboarding/brand,
POST /onboarding/brand/skip.
Frontend:
- New Brand.vue page mirrors the Settings brand form but inside the
onboarding AuthLayout. Tone + language sit side by side, both
selects take full width. Translations added to en, pt-BR, and es.
- Wayfinder regenerated so the page can import storeBrand / skipBrand.
Tests:
- Renamed 'redirects to step2' → 'redirects to brand step' and
assert new setup.
- Added six new tests covering brand step auth, redirects, render,
successful store, validation of tone and content_language, and
skip.
- Updated UserSetupTest for the new enum case + reshuffled step
numbers.
The stock provider only exposes 1:1, 2:3, 3:2 via defaultImageOptions()
match statement — any other ratio gets silently dropped to null.
ExtendedGeminiProvider adds 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 21:9 so
Image::of()->size('9:16') now works for Reels/Stories/TikTok/Shorts
and size('16:9') for X/LinkedIn/YouTube landscape content.
Gemini's native API supports all these ratios; the SDK restriction was
purely in the provider's match statement.

Security (IDOR):

Security (other):
- Fix open redirect in login and registration (validate internal URLs)

Authorization:
- PostController: use createPost policy instead of view for store/update/destroy
Logic:
- Post Status enum labels now use translation system instead of hardcoded Portuguese
- Workspace deletion cleans up current_workspace_id for all affected members
- StoreWorkspaceInviteRequest: replace Portuguese validation messages with __()
