Production Checklist

Production Checklist

Pre-release checklist for server owners and Nord Lab builds.

Applies to: Nord Inventory v2.0.0

Production Checklist

Use this checklist before replacing an inventory on a live server.

Tebex / Asset Escrow package

• Confirm the ZIP contains a single resource folder named nord_inventory.
• Confirm all owner settings are under config/; there must be no root config.lua or server/config.lua.
• Confirm server/bridge/ and client/bridge/ are listed in escrow_ignore as intended.
• Confirm server/core/ecosystem.lua is not in escrow_ignore.
• Confirm protected server/core/, server/modules/, client/core/ and client/modules/ files were not accidentally exposed.
• Confirm docs/SQL/changelog are not listed in the manifest files block, so clients do not download release documentation.
• Publish through Cfx.re/Tebex Asset Escrow before calling the distributed build encrypted/protected.

Files and dependencies

• Keep a copy of the currently deployed inventory resource and database.
• Start oxmysql before nord_inventory.
• Start any target/notification/TextUI providers in the order required by your configuration.
• Start nord_inventory before resources that call its registration exports.
• Confirm fxmanifest.lua and all listed files are present.

Database

• Let Nord create its tables automatically on a staging database, or import sql/nord_inventory.sql manually.
• Confirm nord_inventory_custom_items, nord_inventory_disabled_reference_items, audit and backup tables exist.
• Create an Admin Studio backup before a migration/import.
• Keep a full database backup outside Nord before the first production deployment.

Permissions

• Verify Developer/Admin/Owner ACE roles with test accounts.
• Confirm Developer cannot save/delete/import/restore through direct NUI/server event attempts.
• Confirm backup restore is restricted to Owner unless you intentionally change the permission bridge.
• If Config.AdminAccess.UseAce = false, verify only configured license fallback entries receive access.

Item registry

• Open System Health and resolve errors before launch.
• Review missing images and invalid/offline exports.
• Verify reference-item disable/restore behavior.
• Verify a DB-authoritative definition cannot be overwritten by RegisterItem.
• Verify runtime provider items disappear when their provider stops and re-register when it starts.

External integrations

For each native integration:

• Confirm the provider appears on Integrations.
• Confirm dependencies are online.
• Confirm item/provider ownership is what you expect.
• Test client and server external use handlers separately.
• Test return false and stopped-resource failure paths.
• Test item actions and metadata schema extensions.
• Stop/restart the provider and confirm cleanup/re-registration.

Player inventory

• Add/remove/transfer/split/give/drop items.
• Open Ground, stash, trunk, glovebox and item containers.
• Test overweight and slot-limit rejection.
• Test reconnect persistence.
• Test two players interacting with the same secondary inventory.

Lifecycle

• Test normal durability loss.
• Test durability repair items with missing, full and damaged targets.
• Test GetDurability, SetDurability, AddDurability, RemoveDurability and RepairItem from a trusted test resource.
• Test expiration on online and offline-loaded items.

Weapons

• Equip/unequip weapons.
• Verify serial/durability/ammo metadata.
• Verify manual and automatic magazine reload modes.
• Verify reserve ammunition remains inventory-authoritative.

Vehicles

• Test trunk and glovebox capacities by model/category.
• Test addon front/rear trunk placement.
• Test vehicles with no trunk.
• Test locked/unlocked/NPC vehicle behavior according to config.

Admin Studio

• Create/edit/delete/restore a database and reference item.
• Run an import preview before committing.
• Test templates.
• Create a backup, make a harmless change, restore it, then verify registry reload.
• Confirm audit records the administrative changes.

Static validation included with this package

The packaged build should pass:

• Lua compile/syntax validation for all .lua files.
• JavaScript syntax validation for web/app.js.
• JSON parsing and EN/PT locale-key parity.
• duplicate HTML-ID check.
• NUI callback and Nord client/server event mapping checks.

Static validation cannot reproduce a real FXServer, framework, OneSync, database driver, target provider or third-party resource. Run the checklist on a staging FXServer before swapping a live production server.

v2.0.0 Operations smoke test

• Confirm nord_inventory_snapshots, nord_inventory_forensics_alerts and nord_inventory_placed_items exist.
• Open all Operations tabs and confirm Ledger/Instance filters remain usable on your Admin Studio resolution.
• Run Anti-Dupe once; verify it records diagnostics but does not delete items.
• Create and delete a manual snapshot.
• Restore a disposable test snapshot and verify a pre-restore snapshot is created.
• Edit an online player's inventory and confirm the live client refreshes immediately.
• Test a simulated persistence failure on staging if possible; runtime state should roll back rather than diverge from SQL.
• Place a disposable persistent world item, restart the resource/server and verify it returns.
• Configure one test movement policy and verify server-side rejection for the blocked destination/action.
• Verify Recommended Scripts shows Nord Lab/Renovax Store and Documentation buttons and that only http/https URLs open.
