A library of real, hard-won website-launch failure modes — each with what happened, the root cause, and how to prevent it. Use before starting a launch, when debugging a launch-time SEO/analytics/performance problem (indexation not happening, redirect or canonical issues, analytics undercounting, schema validation failing, CWV regressions, robots.txt mistakes), or when a launch checklist item refuses to verify. These are the mistakes that normally only get learned by being burned. Companion to…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# launch-gotchas > The stuff that usually only lives in someone's head after they've shipped a few sites > and gotten burned. Read it **before** a launch so you recognize the trap, and **during** > a launch when something won't verify. Stack specifics (Cloudflare / Yoast / Next.js / > Semrush) are illustrative common-stack examples — each lesson states the underlying > principle so it survives a stack swap. ## The meta-lesson **"Done" is not "Verified."** Most entries below are a variation of the same root failure: someone marked something complete, and the objective check was never run — or was run with the wrong tool. Every prevention here reduces to *run the real check, independently, before closing the item.* --- ## Verification & audit-tool traps ### Done-without-verification *(the crown jewel)* **What happened:** A duplicate-canonical issue was marked Done. Two weeks later search-console validation FAILED — several URLs still affected. The redirect was working; the canonicalization wasn't. …

How to install
mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/launch-gotchas@sha256:a9dc5386c89da5ddThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.6b62766, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
