This document outlines the implementation details and verification results for the Release Candidate Integration Patch RC-001B.

## 1. Files Created
None.

## 2. Files Modified

## 3. Landing Page Implementation
The public landing page was updated to provide a clean, professional SaaS entry presentation. 
To achieve complete layout independence, `LandingController` was configured to use an empty layout `$layout = ''`. This gives the `public/landing` view direct control of the viewport rendering:
- **Heading**: INVEETAIRE
- **Subheading**: Digital Wedding Invitation Platform
- **Description**: Create beautiful digital invitations, manage guests, collect RSVP, wishes, and operate wedding check-in from one platform.
- **Actions**:
  - `[ Couple Login ]` navigating to `/couple` (SaaS style wrapper)
  - `[ Admin Login ]` navigating to `/admin` (SaaS style wrapper)
- **Footer**: `© INVEETAIRE`
- **Styling**: Sleek slate/dark layout using responsive Tailwind CSS.

## 4. Portal Navigation Workflow
- **`GET /`**
  - Authenticated session: Redirects to role-specific dashboard (`/app/admin/dashboard`, `/app/couple/dashboard`, or `/app/crew/dashboard`).
  - Guest/Unauthenticated: Renders the clean SaaS landing page.
- **`GET /admin`**
  - Renders the unified Platform Sign In form.
- **`GET /couple`**
  - Renders the unified Workspace Sign In form.
- **`GET /login`**
  - Performs a `302 Found` redirect to `/couple` to ensure legacy compatibility.

## 5. Verification Results

   Title: INVEETAIRE — Digital Wedding Invitation Platform
   Has Couple Login Link: YES
   Has Admin Login Link: YES
   Has Description: YES
   Has Footer: YES
2. GET /admin: code=200
   Title: Platform Sign In — Inveetaire
3. GET /couple: code=200
   Title: Workspace Sign In — Inveetaire
4. GET /login: code=302
   Redirect Location: http://localhost/inveetaire/couple
```
