Client axis: the 4 things a client judges on

❌ design: Matches the approved design on every contracted route (referee-adjudicated, staging)
4/4 route(s) not referee-passed on staging: page.home, page.menu, page.catering, page.about
❌ forms: Every form is real, routes to a real inbox, and was proven on staging
dimension 19 (Forms) not green on staging: post /agent/<id>/form-config with the GF + SMTP inventory
❌ content: Zero placeholder copy, em-dashes or dead CTAs on any published route
no fresh slipway content scan: run Verify on the build page
❌ signoff: Finish sign-off recorded by the owner (client-axis review done)
owner finish sign-off not recorded
, you reviewed staging the way the client will: design incl. photography, forms, every word, finished feel

Evidence comes from the referee (design), dimension 19 + slipway's form scan (forms), slipway's content scan (content): run Verify to refresh scans: and the owner (sign-off). An essential is never deferred.

Green dimensions are collapsed; anything incomplete is expanded. Launch-ready = all 30 dimensions green, verified on staging (local-only greens don't count), 0 open P0, AND the four client-axis essentials (design match · working forms · real content · owner sign-off): a query, not a call.

AUDIT remediation checkpoint.
  • Theme fixes committed + deployed to staging (stable@6b107d4): dims 4,6,9 green; live on staging = generator removed, REST user-enum 404, single h1, em-dash gone, reduced-motion + mobile-nav focus trap, touch targets, .gitlab-ci.yml.
  • DEFERRED/BLOCKED: (dim11 security headers) deferred to INFRA per owner - deploy-config extra_headers is INEFFECTIVE on this staging (coastal-hospice has same config + also serves zero headers = fleet-wide gap); real fix is at proxy1/ingress, owner declined proxy changes; required: HSTS, CSP, Permissions-Policy, Referrer-Policy strict-origin, X-XSS-Protection 0, server_tokens off.
  • (dim12 partial) generator+REST done; nginx version leak + staging noindex (blog_public=0) still pending - need conch access.
  • (dim16 partial) em-dash gone; 4 About placeholder stubs still visible on staging because staging renders stale ACF page_modules - needs a conch re-seed (clear page_modules -> live-seed render) to apply the committed fix.
  • (dim13) publish Privacy Policy + footer link - needs conch.
  • (dims 19/21/25) external inputs: Gravity Forms license + wiring, GA4 property ID, SPF/DKIM/DMARC at Wix->D3 cutover.
  • conch SSH not yet authorized; will not modify proxy without explicit OK.

buildout-verify --gates all (local container :8087, HEAD e27d274): gates 1-15+18 PASS.
  • Gate 16 adjudicated PASS (tool false-failed scanning --design-dir flats; the flagged bottom_text_strips are the designers footer copyright text intrinsic to the PSD flats, not shipped theme assets; dim 3 already green on validated assets).
  • Gate 17 FAIL -> dim 4.
  • All 4 routes pass DOM contracts; band-diff 61-96pct is height-misalignment noise.
  • Real fidelity misses: M1(global) footer-cta round vs square polaroid; M2(home) catering_overview dark-brown vs design cream #f4ebd6 (variant inverted - /catering/ correctly cream); M3(home) footer red #ef4023 vs design gold #e49901; M4/M5(about) hero ABOUT US overlay + contact_form not in flat.
