Pre-Launch Checklist

Before going live, test your app end-to-end yourself. No prompt can replace actually clicking through your app as a real user would.

Manual Testing Checklist

Run through these flows yourself:

Build passes — Run npm run build locally, fix any errors (or use prompt, see below)
Sign up — Create a new account, receive magic link, land on dashboard
Sign out / Sign in — Log out, log back in, verify session works
Checkout — Subscribe to a plan (use your 100% off test coupon)
Webhook — After checkout, verify subscription appears in database
Settings — Check subscription shows correctly, test "Manage Subscription" portal
Cancel — Cancel subscription from portal, verify status updates
Protected routes — Try accessing /dashboard logged out (should redirect)
Email — Trigger any transactional emails, verify they arrive

Tips for Faster Testing

Use a fresh browser profile or private browsing — Avoids cached sessions confusing things
Keep Supabase dashboard open — Watch the users and subscriptions tables update in real-time
Keep Stripe dashboard open — Check webhook logs under Developers → Webhooks → Select endpoint → Recent deliveries
Test on mobile — Resize browser or use actual phone to catch responsive issues

Verification Prompts

These prompts can help catch things you might miss. Use them as a supplement to manual testing, not a replacement.

Build & Code Check

Run a pre-deploy check:

1. Run npm run build and fix any errors
2. Run npm run lint and fix any issues
3. Flag any TODO comments that need addressing

Report what needs fixing.

Database Audit

Use Supabase MCP to audit my database:

1. Check users and subscriptions tables exist with RLS enabled
2. Verify policies restrict users to their own data
3. Verify the on_auth_user_created trigger exists

Report any issues.

Placeholder Content Search

Search for placeholder content I might have missed:

1. Look for "TODO", "FIXME", "placeholder", "example.com", "your-"
2. Check app/privacy/page.tsx and app/terms/page.tsx are customized
3. Check meta tags in app/layout.tsx
4. Look for Lorem ipsum or dummy text

List everything that needs updating.

Security Check

Run a quick security audit:

1. Search for hardcoded API keys or secrets
2. Check no secrets use NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix
3. Verify protected routes check auth server-side
4. Use Supabase MCP to verify RLS is enabled

Flag any concerns.

Troubleshooting

Deploy Failed

My deployment to [Render/Vercel] failed.

Error: [PASTE ERROR FROM LOGS]

Help me understand and fix this.

Works Locally, Broken in Production

My app works locally but [DESCRIBE ISSUE] in production.

Check for hardcoded localhost URLs and list all env vars the code expects.
I'll verify the env vars are set in my hosting platform myself.
