## 🚧 What's NOT Done (Infrastructure Required)

The following tasks require infrastructure access and should be completed by DevOps:

### Critical Path (Required Before Go-Live)

1. **DNS Configuration** ⏳
   - Update A records for `workroot.in` and `www.workroot.in`
   - Point to production server IP
   - Wait for propagation (24-48 hours)

2. **SSL Certificate** ⏳
   - Obtain SSL certificate for `workroot.in`
   - Install on production server
   - Configure nginx/apache for HTTPS

3. **Server Configuration** ⏳
   - Update nginx virtual host (config provided in docs)
   - Set up 301 redirects from `workroot.com`
   - Enable security headers (HSTS, etc.)

4. **Application Deployment** ⏳
   - Pull latest code
   - Run production build
   - Restart application server

5. **Old Domain Redirects** ⏳
   - Configure 301 redirects for all `workroot.com` URLs
   - Keep `workroot.com` SSL valid for HTTPS redirects

### Post-Deployment (Within 7 Days)

6. **Search Engine Updates** ⏳
   - Google Search Console - Add property, submit sitemap
   - Set up Change of Address in GSC
   - Bing Webmaster Tools updates

7. **Third-Party Services** ⏳
   - Update analytics (GA, Tag Manager)
   - Update monitoring services
   - Update social media profiles

## 🎯 Success Criteria

The deployment will be considered successful when:

- [ ] New domain (`workroot.in`) loads correctly with valid SSL
- [ ] All pages load without errors (200 status)
- [ ] All old domain URLs redirect properly (301 status)
- [ ] Health check endpoint responds: `https://workroot.in/api/health.json`
- [ ] Sitemap accessible: `https://workroot.in/api/sitemap.xml`
- [ ] No increase in error rates (404s, 500s)
- [ ] Security headers passing: https://securityheaders.com
