This repository contains the Phase 15 release-readiness candidate. It includes the Phase 14 homepage and integration layer, Phase 15 hardening fixes, dependency-free validation, and a structured evidence package. It is not approved for production release.

Current release recommendation

Not ready for Phase 16.

The Phase 15 review fixed four repository defects and the current dependency-free validation passes, but the pinned clean installation and the dependency-backed, browser, assistive-technology, performance, deployment, and rollback gates were not executable in the supplied validation environment. Production business, legal, content, destination, vendor, credential, observability, and operational approvals also remain open.

Do not convert a blocked test into a pass merely because a spreadsheet would look friendlier. That is how defects acquire release notes instead of fixes.

Implemented product scope

English, French, and Arabic locale-prefixed routes
server-rendered lang and document-level LTR/RTL direction
light, dark, and system themes with CSP-compatible pre-paint handling
responsive public homepage and reusable component system
localized demo dialog and client/server form validation
/api/demo submission boundary with exact JSON media-type validation
safe deterministic development and test adapters
typed destination, environment, feature-flag, consent, analytics, and integration contracts
privacy-safe analytics allowlists and redaction controls
timeout, failure normalization, idempotency, duplicate, and abuse-control foundations
localized metadata, canonical, reciprocal hreflang, Open Graph, robots, and pending-destination behavior
unit, integration, browser, accessibility, visual, and failure-simulation test definitions
Phase 15 defect, command, risk, release-gate, and evidence records

The repository intentionally does not activate unapproved production CRM, scheduler, email, analytics, consent, login, pricing, legal, hosting, DNS, monitoring, or production credential configuration.

Required runtime

Node.js 24.17.0
pnpm 11.9.0
Next.js 16.2.9
React 19.2.7

Use the exact versions in .node-version, .nvmrc, package.json, and pnpm-lock.yaml. Do not rewrite the lockfile during release validation.

Clean setup

corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@11.9.0 --activate
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
cp .env.example .env.local

Development routes:

/en
/fr
/ar

Root / redirects using the locale cookie, then Accept-Language, then English.

Required validation sequence

Run the complete sequence on the pinned toolchain from a clean checkout:

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm validate
pnpm validate:phase15
pnpm format:check
pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test:unit
pnpm test:integration
pnpm test:security
pnpm test:privacy
SITE_ORIGIN=https://approved-non-production.example \
PUBLIC_RELEASE_APPROVED=false \
pnpm build
pnpm test:browser
pnpm test:a11y
pnpm test:visual
pnpm test:e2e
pnpm audit --audit-level low
pnpm manifest:generate
pnpm validate:package

Browser, accessibility, visual, performance, deployment, rollback, and human review must use the matrices and evidence requirements under docs/phase15. Visual baselines require manual review; a stable screenshot can still be a stable defect.

Release safety

PUBLIC_RELEASE_APPROVED defaults to false. While false, pages emit noindex and robots.txt disallows crawling.

Before release:

close or explicitly approve every Critical and High release blocker through an accountable owner;
complete pinned clean-install, build, unit, integration, browser, accessibility, visual, performance, deployment, rollback, and smoke evidence;
approve final claims, copy, legal content, destinations, vendors, consent, analytics, credentials, assets, and operational ownership;
rerun targeted Phase 15 regression after any Phase 16 change affecting components, routing, validation, data handling, consent, analytics, integrations, accessibility, RTL, theme, or performance-critical assets.

Historical Phase 9 through Phase 14 records remain in contracts and docs. They are useful traceability inputs, not substitutes for current Phase 15 execution evidence.

Contribution rules

See CONTRIBUTING.md. Do not modify immutable Phase 9 contracts, hide failures with broad suppressions, commit real lead data, or activate production integrations without the approvals and regression required by the Phase 16 handoff.

Phase 16 release status

Phase 16 review status: Launch aborted before deployment. Dependency-free validation passed, but exact-toolchain, dependency-backed, browser, human, legal, operational, infrastructure, and production gates remain blocked. See docs/PHASE_16_IMPLEMENTATION_AND_LAUNCH_REPORT_v1.0.md and docs/phase16/FINAL_LAUNCH_STATUS_v1.0.md.
