Golden master drift detection is automated by running end-to-end QA validation against a frozen baseline in qa/golden-master.json. The loop automatically flags any drift from the expected deterministic output and requires explicit approval to refreeze.

Golden master QA workflow handles controlled refreeze approvals by requiring a GOLDEN_MASTER_SIGNATURE. This ensures explicit authorization is provided before the baseline in qa/golden-master.json is updated during drift remediation.

Yes, you need npm run qa:frozen and npm run qa:freeze to validate deterministic QA. These commands execute the validation loop and manage the refreezing process against the golden master baseline.

Golden master drift correction for production release handoffs is the process of comparing site outputs against a frozen baseline to detect variations. It provides remediation guidance and controlled refreeze to ensure QA traceability across deployments.

You should use a frozen golden master for end-to-end QA verification when you need deterministic validation and traceability for production releases. It is essential for detecting drift and ensuring controlled handoffs across deployments.
