# Vercel Deploy Workflow

Invoke with: /deploy

## Pre-deploy Checklist
1. Run `pnpm build` locally — fix any build errors
2. Run `pnpm lint` — no warnings allowed
3. Run `pnpm test` — all tests pass
4. Check .env.example is up to date with any new variables
5. Update CHANGELOG.md if applicable

## Deploy Steps
1. Push to main branch for production deploy
2. Push to feature branch for preview deploy
3. Monitor the Vercel dashboard for build status
4. Test the preview URL before merging

## Environment Variables
- Never commit .env.local
- Add new env vars in Vercel dashboard before deploying code that uses them
- Use NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix for client-side variables

## Rollback
- If production breaks: Vercel dashboard → Deployments → Promote previous deployment
- Or: `vercel rollback` via CLI
