🧠 FEATURE OVERVIEW:
Goal: Add a new high-risk, high-reward bot tab ("The Real Alpha Sniper")
Status by default: Locked
Unlock method: One-time payment via Stripe
Token policy: No free token rewards; tokens are only issued via monthly fees or forced purchases

✅ INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLIT
1. 🔒 Add Tab to Navigation (Locked by Default)
Add a new tab/icon to the main navigation bar or sidebar:

Label: “Alpha Sniper”

Icon: Crosshair (🎯), fire (🔥), or skull (💀) – whatever fits your theme

Make it greyed out and unclickable unless unlocked

On hover, show tooltip:

"Locked: This is a high-risk, high-reward sniper tool. Unlock required to access."

2. 🛑 Protect the Route /alpha-sniper
Create a new route:

bash
Copy
Edit
/alpha-sniper
Show a 403-style lock screen or redirect to a modal if user hasn't unlocked.

Protect it in backend like:

python
Copy
Edit
if not user.unlocked_alpha_sniper:
    return redirect('/unlock/alpha-sniper')
3. 💳 Create Unlock Flow
New route:

bash
Copy
Edit
/unlock/alpha-sniper
Show a professional modal/page with:

❗ Explanation of risk

✅ One-time Stripe payment button (e.g., $99)

🔐 After successful payment, set:

python
Copy
Edit
user.unlocked_alpha_sniper = True
db.session.commit()
OPTIONAL: Log unlock time, IP, etc. for audit.

4. 💾 Update Database Model
In models.py (or equivalent user schema):

python
Copy
Edit
unlocked_alpha_sniper = db.Column(db.Boolean, default=False)
Run flask db migrate && flask db upgrade after making this change.

5. 🧠 AI Coach Warning (Optional)
First time opening /alpha-sniper, show a pop-up:

“Warning: This is a high-volatility, momentum-based strategy. Use at your own risk.”

6. 🎯 Stub Placeholder Page
For now, build a placeholder:

Page title: “The Real Alpha Sniper”

Message: “Coming soon. This page will host our most aggressive, high-speed trading algorithm.”

7. 🔥 (Optional) Founder Access Shortcut
Add override so the founder (you) can access it without paying:

python
Copy
Edit
if current_user.email == "your@email.com":
    current_user.unlocked_alpha_sniper = True
🏁 Final Notes
No need to give tokens for unlocking.
Just ensure:

Stripe unlock is live

Route is secure

Tab is visible but protected

Bot logic can be added later after unlocking system is tested

When you're ready, I can also help build the bot strategy logic and UI. Let Replit do this setup first, then we'll fire the sniper rounds. 💥
