Referral engine

Invite Guildford readers before the launch loop goes live.

Generate a local invite link, share it with Guildford, Woking and west Surrey commuter belt readers, and keep the reward ladder ready for Buttondown referral metadata wiring. Static prep only: this page does not write subscriber data.
