Release readiness checklist

RC 1.02 is not a final production release. The following must be completed before accepting real customer payments:

• Full end-to-end fresh installation from the public Git repository
• Full regression on mobile, tablet and desktop; accessibility audit
• Security review of customer authorization, session protection and remote API access
• New-customer email verification and remote Pterodactyl user creation on staging
• Customer profile changes, email confirmation, remote username sync and conflict handling
• Stripe test checkout, signed webhook, duplicate/replay tests and reconciliation
• PayPal sandbox approval/capture, verified webhook and uncertain-state recovery
• Real payment settlement model and accounting reconciliation (not present)
• Fiscal invoice compliance for target jurisdictions (not present)
• Refund, dispute, chargeback and cancellation flows (not present)
• Automated renewal policy, customer consent and failed-payment handling (not present)
• Background job/queue reliability, retry limits and operational alerts
• Backup restoration and rollback rehearsal
• Production deployment hardening and privacy/legal documentation

Current validated functionality reported by the project owner includes manual COD4 provisioning, customer profile sync, SMTP test delivery, notification history, renewal planning and the Beta 1.20 read-only integrity audit. This does not establish production readiness.
