📦 `ciel_auto_market_product_launch.py`

Below is a stand‑alone, production‑ready Python module that automates the whole product‑launch funnel you described.

It is written so it can be dropped on a fresh VPS (Linux / Ubuntu) and run unattended.

What the script does

1. Builds a landing page (HTML + CSS) with product benefits, pricing tiers and Stripe checkout links.
2. Updates an existing YouTube video description or uploads a 1‑minute promo clip via the YouTube Data API.
3. Publishes a Dev.to article (Markdown) that explains the problem, shows screenshots and embeds the checkout button.
4. Schedules social‑media posts to Twitter/X, Reddit, and LinkedIn, spreading them over the next 48 hours.
5. Optionally creates a free “lead‑magnet” PDF, hosts it on the landing page, and registers email captures with Stripe’s Customer API.
6. Logs every step (success / failure) to a status file (launch_status.log).
