I launched to zero signups, then found 5 features nobody could reach

Short summary

A founder launched an AI agent platform on Product Hunt and got zero signups. Digging into user feedback about cost visibility, they discovered cascading bugs: int() truncation zeroed out 99% of cost data, workflow cost columns were never written to, cost fields existed in the API but were invisible to the frontend, and entire analytics pages were unreachable from any navigation. The post is a candid engineering post-mortem with code.
