## English

### Purpose & Overview
Production-grade guidelines for feature flag management, progressive feature rollouts, canary deployments, A/B testing experiment analysis, and dynamic server-side/client-side feature evaluation using PostHog, LaunchDarkly, and GrowthBook.

### Key Capabilities
- **Feature Gating**: Decoupling code deployment from feature release with instant kill-switches.
- **Canary & Percentage Rollout**: Incrementally releasing new features to 5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% of user segments.
- **Experimentation Engine**: Statistical A/B testing with conversion metrics and variant analytics.

```typescript
import { PostHog } from 'posthog-node';

const posthog = new PostHog(process.env.POSTHOG_API_KEY!);

export async function isNewCheckoutEnabled(userId: string) {
  const isEnabled = await posthog.isFeatureEnabled('new-checkout-flow', userId);
  return isEnabled;
}
```

### Implementation Checklist
- [ ] Initialize the Feature Flag client (e.g., PostHog/LaunchDarkly) securely on the server and client.
- [ ] Create flags in the dashboard before referencing them in code.
- [ ] Set fallback (default) values for flags in case of network failures.
- [ ] Use user identification (User ID/Distinct ID) consistently to ensure the same user gets the same flag variant.
- [ ] Clean up obsolete flags from the codebase once a feature is 100% rolled out.

## Orchestration & Integration
- Integrates with: `data-telemetry-expert`, `e2e-testing-expert`, `ci-cd-devops-architect`.

### Deskripsi
Panduan tingkat produksi untuk manajemen feature flags, rilis fitur bertahap (progressive rollout), canary deployment, pengujian A/B testing, dan evaluasi fitur dinamis menggunakan PostHog, LaunchDarkly, dan GrowthBook.

### Fitur Utama
- **Feature Gating**: Memisahkan deployment kode dari rilis fitur dengan tombol *kill-switch* instan.
- **Rilis Bertahap (Canary)**: Meluncurkan fitur baru secara bertahap ke 5%, 25%, 50%, hingga 100% segmen pengguna.
- **Mesin Eksperimen**: Pengujian A/B statistik dengan metrik konversi dan analitik varian.

### Checklist Implementasi
- [ ] Inisialisasi klien Feature Flag (misal: PostHog/LaunchDarkly) secara aman di server dan klien.
- [ ] Buat flag di dasbor sebelum mereferensikannya dalam kode.
- [ ] Tetapkan nilai fallback (default) untuk flag sebagai antisipasi kegagalan jaringan.
- [ ] Gunakan identifikasi pengguna (User ID/Distinct ID) secara konsisten untuk memastikan pengguna yang sama mendapat varian flag yang sama.
- [ ] Bersihkan flag yang kedaluwarsa dari basis kode setelah fitur 100% dirilis.

## Integrasi Orkestrasi
