Handoff checklist
The engagement ends when every line below is true and you have confirmed it yourself.
Deliverables
- [ ] Complete source code in a git repository you own (GitHub, GitLab, or a private server). The developer's copies are deleted after transfer.
- [ ] Database and schema:
docs/SCHEMA.md, the SQLAlchemy models indeanreach/models.py, and your livedata/deanreach.db(or Postgres database). - [ ] Deployment and configuration files:
Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,.env.example, the systemd unit and Caddy snippet indocs/INSTALL.md. - [ ] Administrator access: the
ADMIN_USER/ADMIN_PASSWORDin your.env; change the password at handoff. - [ ] Installation and deployment documentation:
docs/INSTALL.md. - [ ] User documentation:
docs/USER-GUIDE.md(also under Docs inside the app). - [ ] Gmail and API configuration instructions:
docs/GMAIL-SETUP.md. - [ ] Backup and recovery instructions:
docs/BACKUP-RECOVERY.md,scripts/backup.sh,scripts/restore.sh. - [ ] Third-party services and recurring costs:
docs/COSTS.md.
Independence from the developer
- [ ] The Google Cloud project, the OAuth client and the Gmail account are yours (created under your Google account, or ownership transferred in the Cloud console).
- [ ] The server (or hosting account) is yours; the developer's SSH keys are removed.
- [ ] The
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYin.env, if used, was created in your Anthropic account. - [ ]
SECRET_KEYandADMIN_PASSWORDwere regenerated by you after handoff. - [ ] The git remote points at your repository and the developer's access is revoked.
- [ ] A backup was taken and restored once on another machine while the developer was still available.
Acceptance walk-through
- Discovery run on your real source pages: the trace names the extractor per page and the people found; misses are in the review queue with reasons.
- Outreach run with
TRANSPORT=dryrun: the recorded emails read correctly for each template and salutation; the CV is attached. - Switch to
TRANSPORT=gmail, send to your own test address by adding yourself as a source contact, and confirm the email arrives with the attachment and appears in the Sent folder of the dedicated account. - Pause, add an exclusion, change a cap: each takes effect on the next send check.
- Export contacts and history to Excel.
