Why release readiness needs a gate

Without a hardening gate, the last week becomes chaos and risky shortcuts.

A gate protects your production and your reputation.

What we validate

Regression checks and critical path tests.

Performance verification and caching strategy.

RBAC, session handling, and audit events (where needed).

Handover readiness

Runbooks and deployment notes updated.

Monitoring hooks present, rollback plan prepared.
