License, README, security policy, contribution guide, support policy, issue templates, PR template, install guide, and release notes are ready.
Release checklist
Release only when install reality, evidence, and public copy agree.
This checklist keeps The Gateway from launching with placeholder contacts, unsupported claims, or unclear operator boundaries.
Fresh-machine install, rollback and recovery, hardware matrix, and known failure modes are documented.
Demo, screenshots, install transcript, route/DNS checks, fallback checks, privacy posture check, and recovery drill are linked.
No internal targets, exact price ranges, unsupported maturity claims, or internal development terms appear in public docs. Known limitations stay visible.
Security reports route through contact links and `SECURITY.md`; public issues should not collect vulnerability details.
Support intake explains redaction, remote access, retention, credential custody boundaries, and operator approval.
