Publish Checklist

Release QA before anything goes live

This checklist exists to catch front-end regressions, broken verification links, incorrect source-mix rendering, and trust-page drift before deployment.

Release readiness checklist

  • Homepage loads and article cards render from the hardcoded article set.
  • Category filters work on desktop and mobile.
  • All trust pages open and carry correct branding, titles, and descriptions.
  • Verification page works with available key and signature files.
  • Processing-file links route readers to `verify.html` cleanly.
  • All article imagery loads and falls back cleanly if a CDN asset fails.
  • Keyboard navigation works: skip link, nav, category filters, modal controls.
  • Theme toggle works and persists the reader’s preferred theme.
  • No console errors on homepage, verification page, or policy pages.
  • Corrections log reflects material front-end or editorial behavior changes.
