There is no getting-started path for ObjectOS itself: Quickstart boots the open runtime, Deploy/Operate are not marked self-managed, and License & Pricing is buried #300

Found by the seat's site-wide audit of docs.objectos.ai on 2026-10-06, which built main @ b754364. Priority: P1.

What a new visitor finds

• Quickstart, the only "start" page, boots ObjectStack and says "ObjectOS itself needs none of it".
• No Cloud page: there is no "Start on ObjectOS Cloud" page.
• Deploy and Operate apply only to self-managed installs, and nothing labels them that way.
• Configure mixes Cloud admin tasks (users, permissions) with self-managed infrastructure (runtime, data sources, storage).
• Sidebar order:
  • "Extend Existing Systems", which describes itself as early, sits above Quickstart.
  • License & Pricing is inside the collapsed Resources group.
• Edition names disagree. The docs call the self-managed edition both "ObjectOS Enterprise" (positioning.ts, index, why, architecture, quickstart, faq, glossary, security) and "ObjectOS Self-Managed" with two plans under it (license.mdx:8-10, deploy/index.mdx:3-6, deploy/docker.mdx).

Blocked on two maintainer decisions

• The edition vocabulary: [Decision] One name for the self-managed edition: "ObjectOS Enterprise" (positioning, 8 pages) vs "ObjectOS Self-Managed" with Business single-node and Enterprise under it (License & Pricing, Deploy) #295.
• The ObjectOS Cloud signup URL: [Decision] Where does "Get started" go? Neither site has an ObjectOS Cloud signup URL, so every plan CTA loops www → docs → www www.objectos.ai#215. Docs index.mdx:25 sends "Sign in to ObjectOS Cloud" back to www, which loops.

Blocked-by: #295

This card is pm:blocked until both are answered.

Done looks like (once unblocked)

• A short "Start on ObjectOS Cloud" page with the real signup URL, the first three steps, and a link to License & Pricing.
• Quickstart is retitled as the local open-runtime path, and its intro says so.
• Deploy and Operate carry a "Self-managed only" label in the sidebar and on their index pages.
• The Configure group says per page whether it applies to Cloud, self-managed or both.
• License & Pricing is reachable from the top level of the sidebar.
• One edition vocabulary across positioning.ts, license.mdx, deploy/** and README, as [Decision] One name for the self-managed edition: "ObjectOS Enterprise" (positioning, 8 pages) vs "ObjectOS Self-Managed" with Business single-node and Enterprise under it (License & Pricing, Deploy) #295 rules.
• Locale siblings follow ruling A of [Decision] An English docs correction leaves its locale siblings asserting the corrected-away claim — #59 says delete them, the seat post says leave them, and #68 blocks the pass that would fix them #256.
• Screenshots of the new sidebar at 1440 and 390.

Surface

content/docs/**/meta.json (sidebar), content/docs/quickstart.mdx, a new content/docs/start-cloud.mdx (name is the dev's call), content/docs/deploy/index.mdx, content/docs/operate/index.mdx, content/docs/configure/*.mdx (labels only), and apps/docs/lib/positioning.ts with its gate if the vocabulary changes.
