Release Gate
The $49 package that hands you the checklist and the guardrails to fix things yourself.
What it means
Release Gate is the first paid step. It is for the founder who read the result, agrees with it, and wants to do the work.
It contains the launch checklist built for your stack, the repository guardrails that keep an agent from touching production, the rollback requirements, and the fix prompts written for the builder you actually use. It is a package you download and keep, not a subscription.
Two incidents in the library are the reason the rollback requirements exist: an agent looping a move command until a project was gone, and another wiping production databases after being told not to. Guardrails are cheap before the event and impossible afterwards. Nothing in the Release Gate claims your app is fine. It gives you the list and gets out of the way.
Incidents where it mattered
No incident in the library maps to this one yet.
ShipReady is not a penetration test or a security certification. No automated check can prove an application is secure.
