# Production Go / No-Go Report

**Date:** 2026-05-31  
**Release gate:** Staging E2E + operations verification  
**Final verdict:** **NO-GO** (live staging evidence not collected in this run)

---

## 1. Staging environment details

| Item | Expected configuration |
|------|------------------------|
| App URL | `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL` / `STAGING_BASE_URL` |
| API URL | `PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_API_URL` (Laravel origin) |
| Mail | Mailgun with `STAGING_E2E_ENABLED=true` mail capture |
| Queue | Redis worker processing `default,long` |
| Reverb | Configured broadcasting driver |
| E2E secret | `STAGING_E2E_SECRET` (header `X-Staging-E2E-Secret`) |
| Test users | Requester, department head, collaborator emails |
| Portal slug | `PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_PORTAL_SLUG` → route `/d/{slug}` |

**Status:** Infrastructure and scripts implemented. **Live staging run: UNVERIFIED.**

---

## 2. Health check result

| Check | Mechanism | Local/dev | Live staging |
|-------|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| Aggregate `/health` | HTTP | ✅ PHPUnit | ⏳ Unverified |
| Pre-check gate | `global-setup.staging.ts` + `/staging/e2e/health` | ✅ Implemented | ⏳ Unverified |
| Post-deploy gate | `scripts/post-deploy-health-check.sh` | ✅ Implemented | ⏳ Unverified |
| Ops command | `php artisan mvhelpdesk:ops-check` | ✅ PHPUnit | ⏳ Unverified |

Pre-check **fails fast** with explicit failing service names when aggregate status is `error`.

---

## 3. E2E flow results (14 flows)

| # | Flow | Spec test | Live staging |
|---|------|-----------|--------------|
| 1 | OTP login | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 2 | Magic link login | ✅ Scripted (mail capture) | ⏳ Unverified |
| 3 | Department portal open | ✅ `/d/{slug}` | ⏳ Unverified |
| 4 | Create ticket (portal) | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 5 | Upload attachment | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 6 | Department head receives ticket | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 7 | Assign ticket | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 8 | Add collaborator | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 9 | Collaborator replies | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 10 | Internal note | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 11 | Status update | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 12 | Close ticket | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |
| 13 | Notification received | ✅ Scripted (API + bell) | ⏳ Unverified |
| 14 | Logout | ✅ Scripted | ⏳ Unverified |

**Run command:**

```bash
STAGING_E2E_ENABLED=true \
STAGING_E2E_SECRET=... \
PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING=1 \
PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_WEBSERVER=1 \
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://staging.example.com \
PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_EMAIL=... \
PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_HEAD_EMAIL=... \
PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_COLLABORATOR_EMAIL=... \
PLAYWRIGHT_STAGING_PORTAL_SLUG=... \
bash scripts/run-staging-e2e.sh
```

Artifacts: `docs/e2e/` (screenshots, `staging-run-report.json`, `health-pre-check.json`, Playwright traces on failure).

---

## 4. Mailgun result

| Channel | Strategy | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| OTP | Mail capture cache + optional `STAGING_E2E_FIXED_OTP` | ✅ Implemented |
| Magic link | Mail capture (`magic_url`) | ✅ Implemented |
| Notifications | Capture on `SendNotificationEmailJob` | ✅ Implemented |
| Invite | Not captured in this sprint | ⚠️ Gap |
| Delivery latency | Not measured automatically | ⏳ Unverified |

Mail report endpoint: `GET /staging/e2e/mail-report?emails=a@x.com,b@x.com`

---

## 5. Reverb / realtime result

| Check | Approach | Status |
|-------|----------|--------|
| Health | `/health/reverb` | ✅ |
| Notification unread poll | Flow 13 API poll | ✅ Scripted |
| Websocket frame assertion | Not implemented (flaky in CI) | ⚠️ Documented limitation |
| Reply live reload | Indirect via UI assertion after submit | ✅ Scripted |

**Limitation:** Full websocket frame verification is not automated; unread-count polling validates downstream notification delivery.

---

## 6. Queue / scheduler result

| Check | Tool | Status |
|-------|------|--------|
| Queue worker | Docker compose + ops-check | ✅ Documented |
| Failed jobs threshold | `mvhelpdesk:ops-check` | ✅ |
| Scheduler registered | `Schedule::events()` count | ✅ ops-check |
| SLA monitor job | `MonitorSlaComplianceJob` every minute | ✅ |
| Reverb process | Compose service + health | ✅ |

---

## 7. Known failures

None in local automated suites during implementation.

**Blockers for production GO:**

1. No green live staging Playwright run recorded in `docs/e2e/staging-run-report.json` from real environment  
2. Mailgun delivery not verified against real inbox (capture proves dispatch path only)  
3. Invite email not in mail capture report  
4. GitHub `staging-gate` job requires `STAGING_GATE_ENABLED=true` and secrets — not executed here  

---

## 8. Open risks

| Risk | Severity |
|------|----------|
| Staging E2E endpoints exist when secret is weak | Medium — mitigated by secret + env guard |
| Fixed OTP in staging only — must never ship to production | High if misconfigured |
| Collaborator/assignee picker relies on email substring match | Low |
| Closed status label varies by department seed | Low — uses `/closed|resolved/i` |
| Realtime websocket not directly asserted | Medium |

---

## 9. Production readiness score

| Dimension | Score | Notes |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| Automated unit/integration tests | 9.5/10 | 194 PHP + 137 Vitest green |
| Staging E2E infrastructure | 9/10 | All 14 flows scripted |
| Live staging evidence | 0/10 | Not run against real staging |
| Ops / deploy gates | 8.5/10 | Scripts + workflow scaffold |
| Mailgun live delivery | 3/10 | Capture only until live run |

**Weighted production readiness: 6.5/10**

---

## 10. Final verdict

### **NO-GO** for production

### **CONDITIONAL GO** for continued UAT on staging

Production may move to **GO** only when ALL are true:

- [ ] Post-deploy health gate green on staging  
- [ ] All 14 staging E2E flows green with artifacts committed/uploaded  
- [ ] Mail capture report shows OTP + magic link + notification delivery  
- [ ] Reverb health OK; notification unread poll passes in flow 13  
- [ ] `php artisan mvhelpdesk:ops-check` green on staging workers  
- [ ] No open critical permission/security blockers
