0/5 doneTL;DR
- Use this section as a quick baseline for FastAPI bootstrap.
- Replace branch names, secrets, URLs, and thresholds with your team-specific values.
Prerequisites
- Confirm repository and runtime access permissions.
- Verify baseline commands (`install`, `build`, `test`) for local/CI.
- Ensure environment variables, secrets, and deployment targets are up to date.
Steps
- Lock the change goal and scope in one sentence.
- Apply the core FastAPI bootstrap changes in minimal commits.
- Capture validation logs and immediately update checklist/docs.
Validation
- Confirm build/test pass reproducibly on the current branch.
- Run manual sample checks on critical user/operation flows.
- Cross-check ko/en docs and links for intent consistency.
Troubleshooting
- Capture logs, request payloads, and environment values first on failures.
- Narrow down by permissions, env vars, routing, and build artifacts.
- Record temporary mitigation and root-cause fix separately.
