Deployment Runbook

The operator checklist with receipts.

This alias route keeps the v1.9 runbook wording and the v1.10 readiness implementation in parity. Use it after uploading ZIPs, seeding twice, flushing permalinks, clearing caches, and exercising the Time Bowl.

Deployment Runbook

Install, seed, verify, then trust the bowl.

Use this after ZIP upload or plugin/theme replacement. It keeps the deployment sequence visible and gives the reviewer a copyable evidence packet without exposing private admin data.
