01 / DECISION
When this primitive earns a place
Use Pages for static and full-stack web delivery when each change benefits from a repeatable preview-to-production path.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
Build the smallest defensible path
Pin build commands and runtime versions, separate environment variables, verify generated routes and headers, then promote a known artifact.
- 01Name the contract
Use Pages for static and full-stack web delivery when each change benefits from a repeatable preview-to-production path.
- 02Add one primitive
Pin build commands and runtime versions, separate environment variables, verify generated routes and headers, then promote a known artifact.
- 03Capture failure evidence
Test the preview URL, generated asset set, canonical links, redirects, and rollback; repeat the same smoke checks on production.
03 / REPRODUCE
Evidence before confidence
Test the preview URL, generated asset set, canonical links, redirects, and rollback; repeat the same smoke checks on production.

The production boundary
A successful build does not prove runtime integrations, secrets, redirects, headers, or custom-domain behavior.
05 / FIRST-PARTY SOURCES
Keep first-party sources authoritative
Product behavior, limits, pricing, and availability can change. Re-check these sources before acting.
