# 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.
