What each one reported
Bolt.new: One prompt, one build, 7 of 8. Bolt built the app as a single-page site with hash routing: the booking form lives at /#/book and the admin view at /#/admin, so the /admin path in the brief does not resolve. The booking data does survive a completely new browser session, so it is stored server-side. Email is not configured and the confirmation screen says so explicitly, naming the missing RESEND_API_KEY secret. Bolt also asked its own onboarding survey before the first message could run, which had to be dismissed. The prompt was submitted twice by the automation (editor retained the text), which Bolt handled as one build.
Lovable: One prompt, one build. Published at still-point-studio.lovable.app — the plain name 'still-point' was already taken, so Lovable added the suffix on its own. No confirmation email is sent: the app states on the confirmation screen that email sending needs a paid plan and a verified domain, which satisfies A6 as written. The admin page is open to anyone by design, as the brief asked. Lovable also reported its own 390 px check in the chat; we verified it independently and it passed.
