Automate production readiness by running consolidated quality gates across performance, accessibility, security, and code quality before deployment. This validation ensures features meet release standards and prevents ad-hoc checks from delaying production releases.

Enforce performance benchmarks targeting API latency p50 under 200ms, p95 under 500ms, initial page load under 2 seconds, and TTI under 3 seconds. These targets are validated against spec.md to gate features before deployment.

Run WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audits as part of pre-deployment quality gates in CI pipelines. The audit validates UI changes for compliance and ensures accessibility standards are met before features are released.

Yes, security validation includes dependency vulnerability scans using npm audit and OWASP checks, alongside secret scanning. This identifies vulnerable dependencies and exposed secrets before features pass deployment gating.

Code quality validation evaluates test coverage, DRY violations, and cyclomatic complexity. The process generates detailed quality reports to track improvements and ensure code meets standards before release.

Run production readiness validation after the implement phase and before deployment. It serves features undergoing release gating in CI pipelines and feature branches, ensuring prerequisites like CI green status and spec targets are met.
