## Executive Decision

| Area                              | Status   | Summary                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| --------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Local static launch gates         | passed   | Package typecheck, build, built-site checker, root format, lint, typecheck, build, secret scan, and whitespace checks passed.                                                                                         |
| Manual QA coverage                | passed   | Local Playwright QA covered 19 critical routes at 360px, 768px, 1280px, and 1600px, plus nav, CTAs, focus, images, reduced motion, and overflow checks.                                                               |
| Static output privacy boundary    | passed   | Built output passed checker coverage for metadata, RSS, sitemap, robots, drafts, approved links, legal markers, guarded copy, no analytics, no hosted forms, no browser storage writes, and no runtime network calls. |
| Cloudflare Pages deploy readiness | passed   | Dedicated workflow and manual Wrangler fallback are configured for `public-website/dist` after website gates.                                                                                                         |
| Live production-hosted validation | no-claim | No authorized deploy or bounded HTTPS smoke has run in this local shell.                                                                                                                                              |
| Legal/privacy owner review        | pending  | Legal and privacy pages remain pre-review where marked; no formal owner approval is recorded.                                                                                                                         |

Recommendation: the static public website is ready for an authorized Cloudflare Pages deploy attempt after the release owner accepts the visible pre-review legal/privacy posture. Do not claim production-hosted validation until an authorized deploy and sanitized HTTPS homepage smoke pass.

## No-Claim Boundaries

* Local static build evidence does not prove `https://faction-os.com/` is deployed or healthy.
* Workflow configuration does not prove a live Pages deployment ran.
* Missing Cloudflare credentials are not a source-code failure, but they keep deploy and smoke evidence unavailable in this shell.
* Local viewport checks are not WCAG, VPAT, third-party accessibility, physical-device, or mobile certification evidence.
* The public website remains static Astro output with no analytics, hosted forms, hosted identity, hosted storage, CMS, server rendering, runtime personalization, or trusted erasure workflow.

## Owner Review State

| ------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Privacy copy              | pending               | Built output keeps the privacy page visibly pre-review and static/no-collection scoped. No formal owner approval is recorded.                                                                   |

| Launch communication copy | ready with boundaries | May say local/static gates passed and deploy path is configured. Must not claim live validation, legal approval, certification, analytics, hosted identity, hosted storage, or trusted erasure. |

## Post-Launch Backlog

Carry forward the backlog in `post-launch-backlog.md`, especially:

* Authorized Cloudflare Pages deploy and sanitized HTTPS smoke.
* Cloudflare dashboard/domain evidence from an authorized operator.
* Formal legal/privacy owner review.
* Formal accessibility or physical device QA, if required for launch claims.
* Deferred self-hosted fonts, social-image generation, search, tag routes, CMS, analytics, and Cloudflare adapter/server rendering work.

***

## Next Apex Action

After this implementation session is complete, run `validate` for `phase16-session05-launch-review-and-documentation-handoff`. If validation passes, run `updateprd` to mark the session and Phase 16 complete. Because Phase 16 is the final listed session in the current phase, the next workflow after `updateprd` is the phase-transition cadence beginning with `audit`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase16-session05-launch-review-and-documentation-handoff/launch-handoff-summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
