Quality Gates

Mandatory Checks

• Security: no hardcoded secrets, env hygiene, basic input safety.
• Code quality: lint/type/tests plus no debug leftovers.
• Lifecycle: blueprint/contract compliance.
• QA: tiered verification with report.
• Handover: xray and operational docs complete.

Release Verdicts

• APPROVED: all blocking checks pass.
• NEEDS_WORK: non-blocking gaps remain.
• BLOCKED: any critical check fails.
