| Package context           | pass        | Spec header declares `Package: public-website`.                                                                                                    |
| Session 03 prerequisite   | pass        | `phase16-session03-automated-checks-and-build-gates/validation.md` result is `PASS`.                                                               |
| Spec system prerequisites | pass        | `check-prereqs.sh --json --env --package public-website` returned `overall: pass`.                                                                 |
| Default shell Node/npm    | caveat      | Default shell has Node `v24.14.0` and npm `10.5.1`, below the repo baseline.                                                                       |

| Cloudflare credentials    | unavailable | Not required for local docs, workflow authoring, build, static checker, format, lint, or secret scan. Live deploy remains deploy-environment only. |

***

## Deployment Assumptions

* The main website remains a fully static Astro build from `public-website/dist`.
* Cloudflare Pages project default is `factionos-public-website`.
* Production URL default is `https://faction-os.com/`.
* Public demo remains independent at `https://demo.faction-os.com/`.
* Public docs remain independent at `https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs`.
* Cloudflare credentials are deploy-only and must never become browser config, local development requirements, tracked secrets, or product runtime claims.
* No `@astrojs/cloudflare`, server rendering, hosted forms, analytics, auth, CMS, public-demo artifact coupling, or runtime personalization is in scope.

***

## Credential Status Labels

| Label         | Meaning                                                                                                       |

| `blocked`     | A human-controlled credential, dashboard setting, or domain action is required before deployment can proceed. |
| `failed`      | A deploy or smoke command ran and returned a non-zero result.                                                 |
| `passed`      | A deploy or smoke command ran and completed successfully.                                                     |

***

## Live Deploy Status

| Item                     | Status              | Notes                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Cloudflare Pages project | not verified live   | Default documented as `factionos-public-website`; dashboard confirmation belongs to release operators. |
| Custom domain            | not verified live   | Expected production URL is `https://faction-os.com/`.                                                  |
| Cloudflare credentials   | unavailable locally | `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` and `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` are deploy-only secrets.                            |
| Live deploy              | unavailable locally | Workflow and manual commands will run only when credentials are configured.                            |
| Hosted smoke             | unavailable locally | Must only be claimed after a live deploy and bounded HTTPS smoke.                                      |

***

## No-Claim Boundaries

* Local typecheck, build, static checker, format, lint, and secret scan are launch-path evidence, not production-hosted validation.
* A configured workflow is deployment readiness evidence, not evidence that `https://faction-os.com/` is already live.
* Cloudflare credentials in CI prove deploy authorization only when present; they do not prove hosted identity, hosted persistence, analytics, public replay, trusted erasure, app-shell hosting, or War Room runtime behavior.
* Public demo and GitBook docs URLs remain separate deployed destinations.

***

### Task T010 - Add a credential availability gate for deploy secrets and website project name with duplicate-trigger prevention and no raw secret output

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:26 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:27 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added a deploy credential check for `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`, `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, and `CLOUDFLARE_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME`.
* Used website project default `factionos-public-website`.
* Missing credentials or an empty project name produce a GitHub Actions notice and a skipped deploy state, not raw secret output.
* Duplicate-trigger prevention remains handled by workflow concurrency.

* Failure path completeness: missing deploy configuration exits cleanly after static gates with a clear skip notice.

***

### Task T011 - Add the Wrangler Pages deploy step targeting public-website/dist with branch, commit hash, commit message, default project, and no public-demo artifact paths

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:27 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:28 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added the conditional Wrangler Pages deploy step guarded by `steps.deploy-check.outputs.available == 'true'`.
* Deploy target is `public-website/dist`.
* Commit metadata uses `GITHUB_REF_NAME`, `GITHUB_SHA`, and the latest commit subject.
* Project name uses the website-specific variable with default `factionos-public-website`.
* No `public-demo` artifact path or public-demo Pages project variable is used.

**Files Changed**:

* `.github/workflows/public-website-deploy.yml` - added public website Wrangler Pages deploy step.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T011 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: deploy source matches the static Astro build output path.
* Error information boundaries: deploy step passes secrets through environment variables and does not echo them.

***

### Task T012 - Add a bounded post-deploy homepage smoke for FACTIONOS\_PUBLIC\_WEBSITE\_URL with HTTPS validation, timeout, retry/backoff, and sanitized failure-path handling

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:28 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:31 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a conditional smoke step that runs only when the deploy credential gate is available.
* Validates that `FACTIONOS_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_URL` resolves to an HTTPS URL with no credentials, query string, fragment, or localhost host.
* Uses five attempts, an 8 second per-attempt timeout, and increasing delay between retries.
* Logs only sanitized host, status, code, attempt, and delay labels.

**Files Changed**:

* `.github/workflows/public-website-deploy.yml` - added bounded public website homepage smoke.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T012 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* External dependency resilience: added bounded fetch timeout and retry/backoff.
* Error information boundaries: smoke output omits raw URL values, secrets, response bodies, headers, and stack traces.
* Failure path completeness: invalid URL and repeated fetch failures exit with explicit sanitized issue codes.

***

### Task T013 - Tune workflow path filters so website deploys react to website, workflow, package, lockfile, and checker changes without triggering from demo-only changes

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:31 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:31 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added root `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, and `scripts/check-public-website-links.mjs` to the workflow path filters.
* Kept the filter scoped to website and shared dependency/checker inputs, with no `public-demo/**` path.

**Files Changed**:

* `.github/workflows/public-website-deploy.yml` - tuned public website deploy path filters.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T013 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: workflow triggers now include all static gate inputs referenced by the deploy path.

***

### Task T014 - Update the public website README deployment section with final CI command shape, manual deploy command, dashboard settings, no-adapter warning, and unchanged demo/docs URLs

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:31 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:32 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added final workflow behavior notes for static gates, credential-safe skip, and credential-free local validation.
* Added a manual Wrangler fallback command with branch, commit hash, and commit message metadata.
* Preserved Cloudflare Pages dashboard settings, static/no-adapter warning, and independent demo/docs URLs.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/README_public-website.md` - completed final deployment section wording.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T014 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: README warns against committing secret values, account ids, tokens, dashboard exports, or credential-bearing URLs.

***

### Task T015 - Update deployment docs workflow table, production status row, manual fallback, credentials, and remaining no-production-host language for unrelated app surfaces

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:32 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:33 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed deployment docs include the public website production status row, workflow table entry, manual fallback, credential guidance, smoke behavior, and independent demo/docs destinations.
* Added explicit wording that the website Pages path does not configure production hosts for `apps/server` or `apps/web`.
* Added a public website rollback path that preserves the package static gates before redeploying `public-website/dist`.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/deployment.md` - added no-production-host clarification for unrelated app surfaces and public website rollback path.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T015 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: deployment docs now include rollback instructions for the public website Pages surface.

### Task T016 - Update release docs with launch gate wording requiring typecheck, build, static checker, deploy result, and claim-scoped hosted evidence

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:33 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:34 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Updated the existing public website release checklist to require deploy result recording after typecheck, build, and built-site checker evidence.
* Added claim-scoped hosted evidence language tying production website claims to a live Pages deploy plus bounded HTTPS homepage smoke.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/release.md` - updated public website release checklist wording.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T016 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: release checklist now matches the workflow and manual deploy path documented in deployment docs.

***

### Task T017 - Run website typecheck and resolve issues without adding forbidden runtime behavior

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:34 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:35 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run typecheck`.
* Typecheck passed.
* No `@astrojs/cloudflare`, `@astrojs/check`, server rendering, analytics, forms, auth, or CMS behavior was added.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T017 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: typecheck validated the package TypeScript/Astro type contract after docs/workflow changes.

***

### Task T018 - Run website build and static checker to verify public-website/dist, sitemap/RSS/robots, approved URLs, metadata, no analytics, no hosted forms, and no runtime network code

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:35 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:36 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run build`.
* Build passed and produced static output in `public-website/dist` with 31 pages.
* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run check:links`.
* Static checker passed with 31 routes and 2185 links.
* The checker covers published routes, draft exclusion, RSS, sitemap, robots, metadata, approved URLs, guarded copy, hosted-form absence, browser-storage absence, runtime-network absence, and analytics/tracker absence.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T018 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: verified fresh static output before deploy documentation and workflow changes are considered ready.

***

### Task T019 - Run root format, lint, and tracked secret scan for workflow and docs changes, fixing any ASCII, YAML, lint, or secret-scan failures

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:36 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:37 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm run format:check`.
* Format check passed with 579 files checked.
* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm run lint`.
* Lint passed with 581 files checked.
* Ran `npx -y -p node@26.2.0 -p npm@11.16.0 npm run security:secrets`.
* Secret scan passed with 1385 tracked text files checked.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T019 evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: tracked secret scan confirmed no detected high-risk token patterns in tracked text files.

***

### Task T020 - Record final validation, credential or live-deploy blockers, ASCII/LF checks, demo/docs independence, and Session 05 launch handoff notes

**Started**: 2026-06-02 04:37 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 04:40 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reran format, lint, and secret scan after hardening the smoke URL validation failure path.
* Ran `git diff --check`; whitespace validation passed.
* Ran ASCII/LF checks over changed session, docs, README, and workflow files; no non-ASCII bytes or CRLF endings were found.
* Verified the public website workflow contains no `public-demo` path, public demo project variable, or public demo URL variable.
* Verified the public website workflow/package/config did not add `@astrojs/cloudflare`, `@astrojs/check`, server rendering, hosted forms, analytics, auth, or CMS behavior.
* Live deploy and post-deploy smoke were not attempted because this local implementation environment is not an authorized Cloudflare deploy environment. Record the live deploy as `unavailable`, not passed.

**Files Changed**:

* `.github/workflows/public-website-deploy.yml` - hardened smoke validation failure path to emit sanitized output instead of a stack trace.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session04-cloudflare-pages-deployment-path/implementation-notes.md` - recorded final validation and handoff evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: smoke URL validation failures now emit a sanitized code object and exit without a Node stack trace.
* Contract alignment: final boundary checks confirmed no demo project/URL coupling and no forbidden Astro/runtime additions.

| Post-deploy hosted smoke    | unavailable | Requires a live deploy target.                                                                                 |

## Session 05 Handoff Notes

* Session 05 should validate launch-review wording against the new website Pages workflow and keep deploy/live-smoke evidence claim-scoped.
* If Cloudflare credentials and dashboard access are available, release operators can run `.github/workflows/public-website-deploy.yml` or the manual Wrangler fallback, then record deploy and homepage smoke as `passed`, `failed`, `skipped`, `blocked`, or `unavailable`.
* Do not convert local static gates, workflow configuration, or credential-skip notices into production-hosted validation claims.
* Demo and docs destinations remain independent: `https://demo.faction-os.com/` and `https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs`.
