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.
