Validation

What one submit sets off

1. Validation passed

   Name and email checked before anything else runs.

2. Database row created

   insert into messages (name, email, body) — saved first, so nothing is lost.

3. Emails sent

   Confirmation to the submitter, notification to the team inbox.

4. Team channel pinged

   Webhook posted to #new-leads so a human sees it within seconds.

5. Confirmation shown

   Success state rendered and the form cleared to prevent double submits.
