+# Release Hardening Checklist
+
+This checklist is the final validation gate before shipping security and mobile API changes.
+
+## 1) Pre-Release Validation
+
+- [ ] Confirm target branch is up to date with `master`
+- [ ] Verify no unintended files are staged (`git status --short`)
+- [ ] Confirm release notes summarize risky changes (authz, API contracts, caching)
+
+## 2) Automated Checks
+
+Run from repository root:
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck:admin
+npm run typecheck:mobile
+npm run test:admin
+```
+
+Run mobile API-focused tests:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/mobile
+npm run test -- src/api/__tests__/gyms.test.ts src/api/__tests__/recommendations.test.ts src/api/__tests__/notifications.test.ts
+```
+
+## 3) Admin Security Spot Checks
+
+- [ ] Verify non-admin receives `403` on privileged routes
+- [ ] Verify unauthenticated requests receive `401`
+- [ ] Verify cross-gym actions are denied for non-superAdmin
+- [ ] Verify `DELETE /api/users` blocks self-delete for admin users
+- [ ] Verify recommendation approval derives approver from auth context (not request body)
+
+## 4) Mobile Functional Smoke Checks
+
+- [ ] Sign in as User A and load tabs/profile data
+- [ ] Sign out and sign in as User B
+- [ ] Confirm no User A data remains in goals, hydration, nutrition, stats, recommendations, notifications
+- [ ] Confirm onboarding gym selection and profile save flow still succeed
+- [ ] Confirm notifications load and unread count updates after read/delete actions
+
+## 5) Rollback Plan
+
+If release incidents occur:
+
+1. Revert the release commit(s) from newest to oldest.
+2. Redeploy reverted build.
+3. Validate authentication and onboarding flows.
+4. Post incident note with root cause and follow-up action.
+
+Suggested rollback command pattern:
+
+```bash
+git revert <latest_commit_sha>
+git revert <previous_commit_sha>
+```
+
+## 6) Deployment Record
+
+Capture this in PR/release notes:
+
+- Release date/time:
+- Release owner:
+- Commits included:
+- Validation commands run:
+- Known caveats (if any):
