authentic

Certify a deployed service with fresh evidence across source, CI, migrations, runtime health, readiness, and critical routes; use before declaring a release production-ready.

When to use

• Before declaring a release, environment, or migration production-ready.
• After a deployment when CI is green but runtime health is unknown or failing.
• During release audits that require a concise PASS, FAIL, or BLOCKED decision with reproducible evidence.
• When handing a deployed service from engineering to operations or a client.

When not to use

• Certification is a point-in-time result for one revision and environment.
• Passing smoke checks do not establish performance capacity, security, resilience, or business correctness beyond the agreed scope.
• Provider dashboards and health endpoints can be incomplete; state evidence gaps explicitly.
• A GREEN verdict expires when the deployed artifact, configuration, schema, dependencies, or target environment changes.
