# Production Deployment Checklist

## Before Launch

● Secrets in vault

● Rate limiting

● Retry logic

● Queueing

● Structured logs

● Health checks

● DB pooling

● CI/CD

● Rollback strategy

● Human approval console

● Policy engine live

● Audit logs enabled

● Monitoring dashboards

● Incident runbooks

● MCP servers pinned to a known-good tool-definition hash, with re-approval required on change (New)

● OAuth issuer validation enabled on every MCP client (New)

# Build Strategy

## Build in This Order

● Single agent + retrieval

● Add memory (start with Pattern B — retrieval-augmented)

● Add tools via MCP

● Add policy engine

● Add verifier

● Add human approvals

● Add multi-agent roles

● Optimize cost routing

● Formalize the harness — write down the planner/executor/verifier contracts and context-assembly rules as a versioned spec, not implicit code structure (New)

● Add simulations/evals, including harness-vs-model attribution (New)

● Expand autonomy slowly
