Final launch acceptance

Verification Required

Final launch acceptance report.

This report records the docs launch-foundation decision: the source work is ready for release-candidate review, and production cutover stays gated on the exact merge commit, pipeline evidence, environment checks, reviewer signoffs, and launch watch.

Decision Snapshot

Story points complete: 817
Remaining planned work: 0
Source P0/P1 blockers: 0
Review fields due: 6
Watch window: 30 days

Build Identity

Source and release-time identity fields
Field	Current record	Required release-time review basis
Reviewed source base	main at a508f45, after review record merged.	Replace with the PR merge commit or deployed source commit before production go/no-go.
review record candidate	codex/review record-final-launch-acceptance, with the candidate commit recorded in PR handoff and CI output.	Use the branch tip or merge commit that contains this report and the generated route assets.
Pipeline identity	Not available from source alone.	Attach Azure pipeline run ID, deployment stage, artifact identity, and validation result.
Deployed version	Not available until deployment.	Capture /version.txt, deployed hostname, response headers, and route manifest checks.

Validation Commands

Required source and browser validation checks
Gate	Command	Launch rule
Metadata and source posture	npm run validate:docs-metadata; npm run validate:verification-dispositions; npm run validate:claim-lint; npm run validate:release-docs	Hold for metadata drift, risky claims, stale review labels, or release-doc regressions.
Examples and reference integrity	npm run validate:examples; npm run validate:snippets; npm run validate:tutorial-smoke; npm run validate:reference-schema; npm run validate:compatibility-matrix	Hold if runnable examples, tutorial claims, reference records, or compatibility rows would mislead a reader.
Routing, privacy, assets, and links	npm run validate:pr-routing; npm run validate:analytics-privacy; npm run validate:external-assets; npm run validate:links; npm run validate:links:strict	Hold if review routing, privacy posture, asset fallbacks, or approved links regress.
Public route manifests	npm run validate:seo-crawl; npm run validate:llms	Hold if sitemap, robots, canonical metadata, LLM exports, or route coverage drift.
Production build	npm run build	Hold if Gatsby cannot build the static site.
Required browser suite	DOCS_SITE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8002 dotnet test Automation/Stornamics.DocsWebsite.Automation.sln	Hold if representative or full-route browser coverage fails on the release candidate.

Review Signoffs

Reviewer decisions required before production
Reviewer	Owns	Required decision
Release owner	Promotion order, exact build identity, go/hold/rollback decision, and launch watch start.	Accept with environment evidence.
Docs lead	Route inventory, reader task flow, voice, labels, and launch-language boundaries.	Accept with no P0/P1 content blocker.
Docs platform reviewer	Gatsby build, generated assets, deployment host checks, cache, and rollback readiness.	Accept with build and environment evidence.
Docs QA reviewer	Validation commands, browser result, route smoke, console posture, and responsive coverage.	Accept with passing test output.
Product SMEs	ObjectDB, Message Broker, Concordia, and LogDB behavior, limits, evidence, and maturity posture.	Accept completed product-lane dispositions.
Support, security, legal, and operations	Public intake, evidence redaction, sensitive claims, incident hooks, and launch watch ownership.	Accept or record a launch hold.

Accepted Risks

Risks that remain bounded for launch review
Risk	Severity	Owner	Acceptance posture
Final deploy identity and environment samples are only available after the release candidate is deployed.	P1 gate	release owner	Attach merge commit, pipeline run, /version.txt, DNS/TLS/cache samples, and route checks before production go/no-go.
NuGet vulnerability metadata can warn when package feeds are unreachable from a local run.	P2	security reviewer	Accept only when CI or a reviewer workstation authenticates feeds or records that no private package is expected.
npm advisory data can change after review record remediation.	P2	docs platform and security	Rerun npm audit before production promotion; hold if a launch-significant advisory returns.
Inline page rating controls and remote analytics remain disabled.	P2	support and privacy	Accept because feedback, support, issue templates, and browser-local page health provide launch-safe signals.
Optional visual polish can follow launch.	P3	docs lead	Accept as normal backlog polish when text, labels, fallbacks, and navigation remain clear.

Launch Watch

Post-cutover monitoring and response cadence
Window	Owner	Required check
Pre-launch rehearsal	release owner and docs platform reviewer	Confirm merge commit, pipeline run, approved internal pre-production evidence, rollback mode, route manifests, and watch roster.
Launch day	release owner, docs QA reviewer, and support reviewer	Check home, search, status, support, legal, feedback, operations, product hubs, sitemap, LLM exports, and 404 behavior.
First 48 hours	docs triage lead	Review failed searches, broken journeys, support reports, page-health signals, client errors, and unresolved P0/P1 decisions.
First business week	support reviewer and docs platform reviewer	Assign follow-ups, merge duplicates, and update release notes or changelog entries when docs behavior changes.
Days 8 through 30	docs lead	Move non-blocking P2/P3 work into the normal backlog and keep unresolved P0/P1 items on release watch until closed.

Go/No-Go Decision

Launch decision layers and stop conditions
Decision layer	Current decision	Stop condition
Source readiness	Go for release-candidate review. Planned docs launch-foundation work is complete and source gates are defined.	Hold if this PR fails build, validation, generated-route coverage, or reviewer source review.
Release candidate	Conditional go after merge.	Hold if CI or approved internal pre-production evidence differs from the accepted source posture.
Production cutover	Conditional go only after release owner attaches environment evidence and signoffs.	Hold or roll back for any P0/P1 route, build, browser, legal/privacy, security, support, or deploy issue.
Post-launch operation	Go with the launch-watch plan and 30-day triage cadence.	Escalate if launch signals show repeated broken journeys, misleading product claims, or unsafe evidence.
