•Required services must be
Up and healthy.•Preflight artifacts must be generated before Phase 1 approval.
•Preflight failure is automatic
NO-GO until remediated.Consequences
Positive
•Consistent validation starting state.
•Early detection of environmental failures.
Negative
•Additional startup dependency on infra health.
