Deployment

Production build workflow

bash

npm install
cd engine && composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader && cd ..
npm run build

Pre-release checks

developer mode disabled
production assets present and loading
.htaccess protections in sensitive directories
template parameters finalized (logo, metadata, scripts)
cache and gzip strategy confirmed on server

Security hardening

enforce HTTPS
verify security headers
remove development-only files/log residue from package
keep directory/file permissions restricted (755 dirs, 644 files)

Post-deploy verification

Visual smoke test on key pages
Validate CSS/JS HTTP 200 responses
Confirm no PHP/template log errors
Run accessibility and performance quick checks

Rollback readiness

keep previous template package available
keep database/filesystem backup before major updates
