Phase 15 Final Release Recommendation
Recommendation
Not ready for Phase 16
The repository has materially better static controls than the supplied Phase 14 baseline, but final QA is not complete. The exact clean installation, production build, dependency audit, unit/integration regression, cross-browser flows, automated accessibility, manual keyboard/screen-reader/zoom review, visual baselines, performance budgets, deployment rehearsal, and rollback rehearsal have not been executed against the final Phase 15 manifest.
Defect and issue counts
- Critical unresolved: 1
- High unresolved: 21
- Medium unresolved: 17
- Low unresolved: 2
- Phase 15 defects resolved: 4
- Accepted exceptions: 0
The cumulative counts include inherited business, research, legal, localization, design, integration, operations, and verification issues. The Phase 15 defect register contains one open High aggregate acceptance blocker, P15-005.
Failed or blocked release gates
The blocked gates include exact runtime/frozen install, final package-backed checks, current unit/integration/build, dependency/license audit, browser/accessibility/visual/manual matrices, performance and bundle measurement, production-like deployment, rollback, CRM, legal/privacy consent, analytics approval, distributed idempotency/rate limiting, native localization review, participant acceptance research, production origin, final brand assets, destinations, and a real commit identifier.
Required Phase 16 approvals
Phase 16 must not begin release-candidate freeze until engineering QA closes P15-005. Business/legal work still required includes final copy, claims/evidence, customer assets, legal/privacy text, analytics and consent, CRM/scheduler operations, production destinations, domain/hosting, credentials, launch ownership, and final assets.
Required remediation before production
- Commit the Phase 15 repository and record the SHA.
- Run the complete command matrix on Node 24.17.0 and pnpm 11.9.0 from a frozen clean install.
- Fix and retest every resulting Critical, High, and Medium defect.
- Complete browser, accessibility, localization/RTL, theme, responsive, visual, performance, deployment, rollback, and observability evidence.
- Resolve or formally approve every production business/legal gate. No Critical or High exception currently exists.
Overall risk statement
Static source integrity is improved and production integrations remain safely disabled. Release risk is nevertheless unacceptably high because the final executable artifact has not been built or observed in browsers and assistive technologies, and the production data-processing and destination decisions are unresolved.
