description: "[AUTO-INVOKE] MUST be invoked BEFORE deploying contracts or writing deployment scripts (*.s.sol). Covers pre-flight checks, forge script commands, post-deployment validation, and verification. Trigger: any task involving forge script, contract deployment, or block explorer verification."

# Deployment Workflow

## Language Rule

- **Always respond in the same language the user is using.** If the user asks in Chinese, respond in Chinese. If in English, respond in English.

## Pre-deployment Checklist (all must pass)

| Step | Command / Action |
|------|-----------------|
| Format code | `forge fmt` |
| Run all tests | `forge test` — zero failures required |
| Check gas report | `forge test --gas-report` — review critical functions |
| Verify config | Manually check `config/*.json` parameters |
| Dry-run | `forge script <Script> --fork-url <RPC_URL> -vvvv` (no `--broadcast`) |
| Check balance | `cast balance <DEPLOYER> --rpc-url <RPC_URL>` — sufficient gas? |
| Gas limit set | Deployment command must include `--gas-limit` |

## Deployment Decision Rules

| Situation | Rule |
|-----------|------|
| Default deployment | **No `--verify`** — contracts are not verified on block explorers by default |
| User requests verification | Add `--verify` and `--etherscan-api-key` to the command |
| Post-deploy verification | Use `forge verify-contract` as a separate step |
| Multi-chain deploy | Separate scripts per chain, never batch multiple chains in one script |
| Proxy deployment | Deploy implementation first, then proxy — verify both separately |

## Post-deployment Operations (all required)

1. Update addresses in `config/*.json` and `deployments/latest.env`
2. Test critical functions: `cast call` to verify on-chain state is correct
3. Record changes in `docs/CHANGELOG.md`
4. Submit PR with deployment transaction hash link
5. If verification needed, run `forge verify-contract` separately

## Key Security Rule

- **Never pass private keys directly in commands.** Use Foundry Keystore (`cast wallet import`) to manage keys securely.
- **Never include `--broadcast` in templates.** The user must explicitly add it when ready to deploy.

## Command Templates

```bash
# Dry-run (simulation only, no on-chain execution)
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol:DeployScript \
  --rpc-url <RPC_URL> \
  --gas-limit 5000000 \
  -vvvv

# When user is ready to deploy, instruct them to add:
#   --account <KEYSTORE_NAME> --broadcast

# Verify existing contract separately
forge verify-contract <ADDRESS> <CONTRACT> \
  --chain-id <CHAIN_ID> \
  --etherscan-api-key <API_KEY> \
  --constructor-args $(cast abi-encode "constructor(address)" <ARG>)

# Quick on-chain read test after deployment
cast call <CONTRACT_ADDRESS> "functionName()" --rpc-url <RPC_URL>
```
