Execution Checklist

0/5 done

TL;DR

  • Use this section as a quick baseline for Hono 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

  1. Lock the change goal and scope in one sentence.
  2. Apply the core Hono bootstrap changes in minimal commits.
  3. 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.
