> Pre-release checklist for policy bundle quality and safety.


Use this checklist before promoting a bundle to production.

## Structural checks

- `bundle_version` increased
- `policies[]` and `rules[]` valid
- algorithms/config fields valid for each rule

## Matching checks

- selectors match intended paths/methods
- no accidental broad `pathPrefix: "/"` without intent
- `fallback_limit` behavior understood and tested

## Descriptor checks

- all descriptor keys are actually forwarded/present
- cardinality is bounded and operationally safe

## Safety checks

- canary/shadow rollout plan exists
- rollback bundle is prepared
- kill-switch scopes are narrow

## Runtime checks

- validate with CLI and representative requests
- monitor reject reasons and retry-after distribution post-rollout
