Instructions
This runbook covers adding a major feature to an existing enterprise product. Compliance, security, and quality gates are non-negotiable. Multiple stakeholders need alignment. The feature must integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Duration: 6-12 weeks.

Verify
- The deploy command was actually run and the build/log output (or deploy URL) is captured
- The deployed URL was opened and returned a 2xx; key routes were sampled, not just the index
- Environment variables required by the app are present in the target environment; missing-var failures were ruled out
- A rollback plan (previous deployment ID, git SHA, or one-line revert command) is documented before promoting to production
- Health/observability check (logs, error tracker, status page) was inspected post-deploy; baseline error rate is recorded
- DNS / domain / SSL configuration was confirmed, not assumed to carry over from previous deploys
